What if IU wins big ten tournament and goes to final 4?

Then it will be a little longer before we get a new coach. But that’s a good reason for the delay.

Same mistake as Hoiberg. His son definitely isn’t a P5 player. Gets 30 mpg. Averages 3/2/2

Does he really average 30 minutes per game?  The stats seem right but I can't imagine him playing that much.  Would think its closer to 20 mpg.

I think it’s generally assumed within the coaching fraternity that Otz (among other coaches) would drop whatever he’s doing and run to Lawrence if Self retired. I suspect that is why his buyout was substantially reduced in his most recent extension-Kansas job, and maybe Texas job, more than the IU job.

This could very well be true, but is Kansas really that preferable a job to IU? I get they've been much better under Self than we've been, but in terms of facilities, support, etc., are they really that far ahead?

At a minimum, IU has a more fertile recruiting territory in its home state/region.

Here's a question...would you rather have Woodson win the natty this year, but then come back for 3 more years, or go out in the first weekend, but get a new coach?

Would the answer change if you knew the new coach wasn't Brad/Drew/Otz/Pearl/Few?

Any hypothetical that involves winning a national title this year is worth the trade off if there is no guarantee the new coach wins a title here at any point IMO.

We dust off the Fire Mike Woodson thread by about November 25th or so after a couple fresh blowouts.

100 million percent a national title this year.

I've just heard we are pretty far along with a candidate or two so I think Beard is just late to the game. Both of these would be bigger than him anyway

I have a real hard time believing that Fitzgerald was vetoed by Pam Whitten, but she will let Chris Beard through the Sample Gates...

Averages 22 on the season, but in their last 10 games he’s played 30 or more 7 times

I would take a 6th national championship in the bag with Woodson in place of Stevens or anybody else plus have Woodson 3 years.  Flexible.

(in addition not required but big ten tournament championship would be a plus).  
3 point shooting will determine any success of any kind.

Your ears burning Chris007? Couple posters trying to drag you over on HSN. Seem to post here often too

Where was the Fitzgerald thing reported?

[HoosierInParadise 1,683]

Blasphemy. It's a free message board and all opinions are welcomed except the ones that go against the herd mentality 

Finally.....acceptance....I'm proud of you.

Ink on paper, Brad.  Make me a believer, but until then, I am a skeptic.

An Ole Miss source said it was common knowledge that to this day, Beard is out and about drinking in Oxford. He must reform himself daily if that’s the case. 

I think the phrase is "one day at a time"...

How about win a title and Woody still retires and rides off into the sunset? Yea that sounds great.
