The new rumor in the peegs chat is that it’ll be a combination of Woodie and Thibs that get the IU job if it goes the way Woodson wants.

Well we will find out tomorrow at noon if the fortune teller is right...

It might just be the alcohol but this rumor doesn’t make any sense lol.

But he already said at the presser that we wouldn’t hear from him until an announcement. He is sticking to his guns.

Doesn't matter, some of this crap is making IU look really bad.  But I see that he did a few posts later.

The problem with that is, if he comments on one rumor, then he needs to comment on all. Otherwise, people will say....this one must be true because Dolson didn’t deny it.

I think Dolson saying jack squat, while maddening, is the right approach.

He doesn't have to say it directly, but let the media know it's BS.  Like he did a few posts later.

Does it really matter if we hire Oats?

Oats is a longshot at best.

Again stealing Brumdogs' comments, "made a run" is not some dude contacting his agent to see if there is any interest in talking.  The media is playing many of you.   

Doyle's follow up tweet may have been the worst tweet of all time when he said "It's not just good authority.  I am authority."

Dude thinks he's Judge Dredd.

Gary Parrish kind of lightened his stance....didn't back off the 'it's ridiculous to think Indiana could get Stephens or Holtmann', but now added that "Indiana is a good job and will likely get a good hire".

I am sad that everyone is getting so agitated about a columnist literally saying “a third party to the second party told me that the intermediary of a first party might have reached out to see if there was interest but nothing happened and it’s HUGE NEWS!!!”

I’m not complaining about the rumors or their implication. Just reading comprehension. It’s all there in the text. This stuff is being sourced fourth hand.

[Dizz 323]

It’s Oats. Go to bed.

Thibs talking about Tom Thibodeau? Doesn’t make any sense.

That makes no sense to me. Thibs is the head coach of the Knicks, he’s not leaving to come to Indiana when he has no connection here at all. 
 

Mike Woodson wants the job but I have no clue why Thibs would even remotely consider coming here.

Makes zero sense, I agree.

When the Thad Matta stuff leaked, IU sure did a good job of reaching out to reporters to try and control the story. Guess you just can’t refute all the rumors.

Maybe but you really have no idea that's true. What if we threw 7 mil to his agent and he said wait on us.

Still makes it a long shot.  Bama can match the money and his agent knows that.  Right now Oats is on fire.

Maybe. But what I’m confident is true is Öats’ agent taking that offer to  Greg Byrne and Byrne saying, “yeah, no problem.” The only reason for Öats to leave there for IU is if he believes his chance of winning NC’s is significantly better. And in today’s environment that’s just not the case.

True. Alabama is a better job than Indiana right now. Unfortunately that may be the case for lots of coaches IU is waiting for. Why would anyone leave Alabama or Arkansas for Indiana? Most guys don't leave good situations unless they are moving up. If we don't take Dane Fife he's going to crush us at Michigan State when he takes over for Izzo. End this now. Hand the keys to Fife and let's see what he can do.
