Honest question (and there may be but slipped my mind):

Name a (or multiple) former IU players that would be considered "A-list" or "successful"?

The former IU player coach project should be buried at this point.

You mean like doctors, lawyers and incredible talented energy traders or do you mean in basketball?

What if Brad wants to be the GM?  :)  

He doesn't want to be the GM. A GM is something he would want if he is even going to considered getting back into coaching. He hated recruiting at the end of his tenure at Butler.

Mike Woodson

[Hornsby 2,987]

Yep. I know he talked it out with Dane but I've never seen any time of public retraction. Instead, he alienated Fife to about half the fanbase. 

Yes he did. Many people now do not like fife and still believe the hit piece. Once the hit piece goes out some will believe it no matter what happens in the future. It was bush league.

Thanks

But isn't fife considered a legend? He went to a championship game. Something Woodson never did. I mean they treat Woodson with kid gloves at iu cause he is a legend we are told Yet fife could be discarded and trashed by rabjohns. I guess there is a double standard.

Fife was a marginal role player. 

Woodson was B1G POY. 

 

not really comparable as players, the "kid gloves" I have no clue on.

Yesterday was first and goal from the 2. Today 2nd and goal from the 2 (not inside info just a joke how every day that passes without a yes makes me nervous )

Strongly looking forward to your ‘touchdown’ post

Exactly, especially with the "politics" side of it. There is no coming back from that as far as getting those fans back on his side. Now people are like, "why is he selling insurance instead of coaching?", "nobody would hire him", blah blah blah. Worked under Izz0 for 10 years and suddenly doesn't know basketball anymore but clowns like Hunter, Rosemond and Walsh do? Right. He is way more respected in the coaching community than anybody on our staff.

This reminds of something Mark Titus said about Tom Crean's recruitment of Kyle Guy...

"Crean had the ball 1st & Goal on the 1, dropped back, turned around, and threw the ball as far as he possibly could"

But wait, there’s a defensive penalty in the backfield!

The amount of times that IU has shot itself in the foot is amazing.

Can we get a defensive penalty on that 1st and goal so we get another shot at 1st down again?!

One day can’t be a whole down!

Just got an email for IU regarding the HC opening for the basketball program:

“Thank you for your application, at this time we have decided to go with another candidate despite your impressive resume.”

Just curious, what is Dakich saying about all the Brad talk?

He said you have to call him but nothing about if he would take it 

My thing is if all of this stuff is happening with Stevens then why has none of the national media caught wind of it. You would think a Rothstein or Goodman would be all over it.

The fact Woodson made no coaching changes after last year when most wanted him gone tells me all I need to know. He wants yes men period. And his staff are yes men it seems. They barely beat a minnesota team with six scholarship players last year the night Woodson was out. They won by like 2 points

Woody was Knights favorite player and was B1G player of the and a top 5 scorer all time.   
Fife was a hard nose player for IU but probably not legend status.   Head coach is allowed to do  whatever he wants when he is in charge and he decided to get rid of Fife right or wrong

If for whatever reason something happens where we don't sign Brad but sign dusty I would probably respond with a FG post or a TD but missed extra points haha
