Article states Iowa might have financial problems and might not be willing to pay the buyout for Devries which is 4.6 mil

I think the Devries talk is again, agent talk. Wants his client out of Morgantown (who can blame him, it takes a certain type of person to live there).

This should go without saying obviously, but there will be no press conference tomorrow. I’ll be able to take the lid off a bit later in the week. But will say this, anybody providing details right no

I’ve had several PM’s so wanted to drop a quick line to the broader board. Love this group and fully intend to continue to contribute to the community, Im not going anywhere. (Sorry to a few of you) B

So I couldn’t get much from him unfortunately. But, to me that’s a good thing. There’s been pretty much zero chatter, nor leaks for a month about coaches. He said it doesn’t matter that the season is

I became convinced after you mentioned him.  Seemed to be one of the best candidates available and hoped due to his age we could get him while others passed.  

The most historic hire for the program and credit goes to Dolson and Whitten. That hire told all of us that IU was finally going to get serious with the football program. I'm telling myself it will go down as the hire that changed the fanbase to football first fans. I know that's pipe dream but I've been dreaming for that since the 80s. But more CFP appearances, Heisman candidates, First team All-Americans, first and second round NFL picks, conference championships, etc. etc. will definitely help. I'm kind of shocked I'm not seeing more traffic in the football section here. We're like in the middle of spring ball. And the team, on paper, is even better than last year's CFP team. Exciting times for IUFB 812FB folks!!!

Yes, the cig hire worked out but dolson does not walk on water. He hired Woodson after all.

So does it seem likely to you that Dolson doesn't know who the hire is?

I really thought adding the comment about Dolson blocking himself from googling "who should I hire" would have been a dead giveaway of the absurdity of my post.

Obviously Dolson has been doing something! 

Yea, that's my bad. When I re-read it later on I realized you were joking. Or just a really strange guy. Could be both, I guess.

I live down in SEC country now and it is cool to wear IU gear around and have SEC fans walk up and ask me about IU football.  Was even out in Denver this fall and in a small restaurant about 1/3 of us were IU fans/alumns but were all separate groups.  I saw a girl wearing the Cig shirt and as we were talking 2 other groups nearby heard us and suddenly an IU reunion broke out.

I believe IU fans are still weary, even with last year's success, due to decades of being beat down. After the 2020(?) season where IU got the screwed out of the B1G championship game, it has made me cautious to invest my time, emotions, and $ into the program out of fear of a one-hit wonder. An 8+ win season this year and I'd be willing to say the IUFB section starts filling up on here.

I assume it's still not 100% his decision. He gets a list of guys he is allowed to hire imo and a naughty list he cannot touch. So I don't believe it's 100% his call.
