If we have to wait more than two more days I’m gonna need to wear a life alert.

Chris is spending his NIL money on his wife shopping. There goes our chance for BS

Latest from Jeff Rabjohns: 

I’m told an announcement today is unlikely, but still could happen. Some soft chatter that if it’s not today, it will be either tomorrow, Thursday, or after the next coach is done in the tournament. I’m still following up on that with a few other people though.

No it wont.  Woodson did not have so much heat after year one.  

This isn't same climate

I remain hung up on the idea that Dolson wouldn’t have gambled on the power play to oust Woodson unless he knew how it would play out. I would be shocked if we find out this has all been frenetically cobbled together. I am trustful that Dolson takes after the Russians in this singular characteristic.

Not necessarily a better job, but a better program at this juncture.

I don't agree.

this is the most bland statement....of course he's accurate with what he said.  Could summarize this as "it could happen at anytime"

Chris is out of pocket today. Jerry's lips are sealed. We think we lost RTZ for good due to a series of childish attacks from other posters. The mods have been notified.

Breaking news: Rabjohns says it will be before or after the tourney! Riveting!

Ok. How about "more successful"? 

Because the numbers are pretty telling.

You had me. I was getting progressively angrier with each word. Well played.

Edited the post to clarify - that was a joke guys, sorry, lol. I should know better than to do that on a day like today :)

if the next guy shows that he's working his @$$ off no matter what it won't be toxic at all 

[GP711]

Here’s what I got. I think our next coach will be the “mystery candidate” mentioned my Goodman. I’m not fully ready to say it’s Brad but not fully ready to say it’s not. I do believe it’s a big name. Not sold on devries, I know he’s the coach of the day. That’s what I got for now.

If i am devries no way I am taking the iu job. He doesn't have the overall fan support. A year similar to the one he just had will get him so much heat he will be ready to leave bloomington next march. No way I would want that.

That is the false narrative that IU fans don't give coaches a chance before turning on them. People were very patient with Crean and many still don't count the first three years. Miller and Woodson were given over two years before the grumbling really started. With any coach, there is that small minority which are unhappy from the start.

Maybe. But a big source of the heat on Woodson were the facts that he behaved like an utter j******, simply refused to do many aspects of his job, and intentional drove an enormous wedge between the players and fans because his narcissistic personality refused to accept that he was the reason why the team failed. You’ve got guys like TJD referring to the fans as trolls and pretending like Woodson was some kind of martyr for taking the job no one wanted him to have.

If DD were to behave like a normal person and recruit likable players those two things alone would take off some heat.
