Anyone seen any interesting flights today? 

There will likely be a LOT of flights with teams and fans going home after losses.

Watch it be porter moser or something. Not a fan of the resume. Haven't watched enough of his teams to say anything about traits. 

I tend to agree. He's the hot hand right now and that's why everyone is high on him - especially the national media. 

Some guys just aren't made for the bigger gigs ala Archie Miller. Someone will offer him some $$, just not sure IU is in a spot to take a risk on him right now. Then again, IU clearly isn't the job we all want to believe it is. If it was, we wouldn't be getting turned down so much.

Aren't we really only aware of one guy (Stevens) turning IU down?

Yes. That’s it as far as we know.

No no no. We don’t know that. 
 

We broke up with him.

That's cherry picking IMO. For instance, I'm pretty sure that Mark Few wouldn't consider UK, UNC, or Duke.

There are some coaches that are just plain old happy where they are. And Few is not the only one in that category.

When I say "turned down" I mean it seems like most coaches don't even want to speak to us. If we truly were a top 5 job, everyone would be listening. Beard, Bennett, etc. Maybe these guys are and we just don't know it but what I've seen tells me they have absolutely no interest. I mean we're looking at guys that have no business being our HC (Woodson). That tells me where we are and how coaches view the IU job.

I agree but with some of the names on our list (alleged list), there doesn't seem to be much interest from anyone other than Beilein, Matta, and IU guys. But we'll see!

You are basing your assessment on rumors and speculation.

Yes, you are correct. But you are also making conclusions based on those rumors and speculation.

1. "There doesn't seem to be much interest" may or may not be true...do you or I really know that? 
2. "Our list?" If "our" includes me, that list includes Moser, Enfield, Wes Miller, Woodson, Devries, Beard, Lewis, maybe Matta or Beilein. I have no idea if any of those guys would be interested but I hope so and would like to think so.

1. Nope. No idea.

2. Yes. I'm basing the list based off of what I've seen here. I don't think anyone outside of Dolson really has a freaking clue. 

I also don't believe the IU job is what some think it is here. I've thought this for years. Nothing has changed since, well, we've been a pretty mediocre program since we flamed out in the S16 vs. Cuse w/ Crean. At a certain point our history is just that - history. Kids don't give a **** about our banners.

He can turn down the job in the pre-game interview. But until I see a different man on the press stage conference here soon..
