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. 

Yeah, I don't see the GM absolving the Head Coach of recruiting.  I see a true GM organizing a staff of player personnel people to review and monitor all college and HS players on their board.   The head coach would still get to decide what players he will want/need -- fit is still important.  GM will hand him a list and deal with the money.  Coach is still going to have to hit the gyms and schmooze the players.  But that's just my idea.

I wonder if he considered himself to be asleep at the wheel as well.  It wasn't exactly a secret that he wasn't the most active guy in terms of coaching players during games.  Pretty much separated himself on the bench.

Maybe cause he was "iced out?"

I think youre exactly right. The GM will help ease the load of recruiting and will manage the money.

I would be absolutely stunned to ever see Adam Howard with an IU athletics job ever again.

It's perfectly fine that Fife was let go. It was a bad matchup with Woodson and it was pretty obvious from the start it wasn't going to work out with those 2. But the smear campaign was complete bs. I don't blame it all on Woodson. It was an another assistant that was likely the one feeding Rabjohns the bs for his article. There is one guy on that staff that has no morals. 

I assume that’s Ya? He seems like a confrontational hot head

Something I hadn't thought of until now. There is a comparison to Ben McCollum, and it isn't Curt Cignetti. It's Bruce Pearl. Both spent years winning big at the D2 level, before going to the mid majors and winning there, before getting a P4 job and immediately winning. The comparison is there, just a matter of if McCollum is capable of the same jump.

If you are an athletic Director with one shot to bring back national relevancy to a blue blood program, I doubt he is in your top five or six. Would you be willing to bet millions of dollars in your salary on him?

Ya did have to pull him to do the handshake line after the Maryland game.

I imagine his ending with the university has left a sour taste in his mouth. 

Now was it because of Woody? absolutely.

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

Nah - Brad is a TD with successful 2 point conversion (or more if it were a rule).  Dusty is just a TD and traditional kick for the extra point. I REALLY hope it doesn't need to go beyond those options.

Big question would be does he come back if Dusty does get the job because he almost thought about going to UM.

Louisville and Kentucky had to go down a level to get their coaches. We have to be prepared to do the same if everybody else says no.

[Hornsby 2,923]

Who is feeling sorry for him?  Seems everyone on here is pretty much in a agreement that he stunk as a head coach and needed to go 

He is feeling sorry for himself and probably his buddies he summoned to practice. Point is the smear campaign on fife wasn't necessary and karma often strikes back in the end.

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.

Because they need an actual source to give them the scoop. They'd get laughed out of the profession if their source was "IU fans talking about it on message boards."

Mmm… I wonder who all the pro-Woody burners get their info from…

My money would be on one of Woodson, Buckner, Ferguson or Zeke.

That is my point that a lot this Stevens stuff is just message board rumors and nothing more
