I still think this is some out of left field candidate or, this is crazy because I will be shocked if it is him, Stevens. There is enough cloak and dagger around this to support the latter though. Wish their timeline to announce aligned with mine...lol. thebigweave, iudane and JPCIVOP 3

He knows his job is on the line iu is back here in 4 years. this is his legacy hire. Whether is stevens or not he has the opportunity you hire a great coach. You know who's available before moving on from Woodson. Obviously woody was gone anyway but you still know who's out there before you do it. I have nothing rn but will return when i do:) I''m not sure that I've ever bought the "he had to know who his candidate was for sure when he fired Woody" argument. SHOULD he have have known who he was going after? Absolutely! The only person who didn't know that Woody was going to be gone after this year was Woody, QB, Ferg, and Woody's family. Anyone who has paid attention to the team and Woody's lack of coaching knew that buying him a roster wasn't really going to work and was a last gasp kind of move. But, with that being said, Woody "retiring" mid-season didn't necessarily mean that Dolson had his man. I've never believed that argument. There were many other factors in play there.

He also said this in passing in his very first video after the Woodson news broke a few weeks ago. Was curious if this might evolve if some other candidates dropped out. Perhaps not.

Sandman Posted March 17, 2025 Posted March 17, 2025 11 minutes ago, Indynorthsider said: Let’s be honest, if the only Hangul to this was his daughter not wanting to move and he wanted the job it’s pretty easy. He forces her hand which is called parenting or he says fine, we’ll make it work. It’s short term, she’s going to be a senior so they do a long term fix for 8-10 months. Done. As a former military brat, sometimes you just don't get a choice. I remember more than once, my dad coming home and saying, "Sorry, kids. We're leaving in 3 months".

Of course then he'd be 52 and too old for some on this board.

I think it's pertinent to the IU search which is why I pose the question. It makes little sense that we appear to be playing second fiddle to Iowa for these candidates.

Heat at Duke following K couldn't be that much different than heat at IU following Woodson. 11 minutes ago, hoosiersoxfan said: I think he realized Coach K wasn't going to retire anytime soon and he didn't want to wait any longer for a head coaching gig so he took the NW job. That’s how I remember it. Collins was basically K’s right hand man and presumed heir apparent, but decided he didn’t want to wait around any longer. He was still considered the odds on favorite if K retired for a little while. But eventually Scheyer worked his way into K’s position as heir. Interesting that they all three are from Chicago. Obviously K played for Knight and the other two for K. Pretty decorated guards, smart guys. All seem relatively close knit. Of course, the other guy in that little group was Wojochowski and he hasn’t worked out. Capel is another one.
