Even the men's college basketball's savant Coach K wasn't that pure. IU needs to lose some purity this time and to be 110% serious about winning. So many of our fans still wouldn't want to touch Pitino, Beard, and Wade with a 10 feet pole, but this time IU doesn't have the luxury to screw up this hire. I'm not saying IU should hire one of them; I just want IU to seriously consider them as candidates. IMHO, these guys all had somewhat shameful past, but they all paid their prices; they were fired and suffered from nationwide humiliations. Who are we to throw stones at them?

There's always a level of hypocrisy on the part of Administration when it comes to vetting. Publically they want to find Jesus Christ with a whiteboard and whistle, but privately they want wins, trophies and championships, with money in the coffers and a$$es in the seats. 

I guarantee that if Dolsen were to visit a Clairvoyant and told that hiring a certain young coach would result in three national championships in eleven years, eleven Big Ten championships in seventeen years, millions in cash for the university library, sold out games for nearly thirty years, absolute compliance of NCAA rules, and an extremely high graduation rate for his players, Dolsen is going to be less inclined to factor in personality flaws and the occasional flying chair.
