He has an offer for sure. I'm hearing conflicting reports if he wants to leave UCLA or not. Might think staying at UCLA might be a quicker path to a head coaching position

Dane Fife to IU is tremendous. Would he be next in line after CMW? We gotta keep it in the family.

I was told all of our assistants have been hired. Won't be announced today or probably tomorrow because they are doing other things right now. 

Geeez, where are CMW’s priorities ?? The fan base needs to know. (Lol)

How are they a quicker path? Doesn't he know IU is winning a national championship next year?

IKR, they couldn't even get to the final game this year

I’m guessing Lewis won’t come to IU now. But if he did... 8 years down the road the battle of Fife vs Lewis HC job.

At what point do we worry that the coaching staff could beat the players on a 3 on 3?

Thanks...I could see Dane coming in as a replacement to Woodson and then hopefully Lewis would also hop on board for a couple seasons or so and then he can go take a head coaching job elsewhere.

I’m probably in the minority but I wouldn’t mind a change there either.

[Bankshot 528]

Unless I'm mistaken...all the coaching hires so far except Hunter have DIRECT ties to Knight and when INDIANA was achieving success at championship levels.

[hoosierfan84 296]

And Fife it is.

I think this is up to Woodson entirely --- from my understanding, Cliff wants to stay.  Chris have you heard differently?  Would love to see him stay.

I have heard exactly what you have. I will say that Cliff has a lot of support from the athletic department. They all want him to stay

[Hoosierfan2017 20,695]

The players really like Cliff and I think he unfairly gets blamed for the injuries we’ve had. A lot of our injuries have been freak accidents that he had nothing to do with. Concussions, turned ankles, etc.

I agree with you on this. I hope Woodson brings in an NBA guy for that role rather than a guy who specializes in football players but dabbles in other sports' athletes. 

I think the lifting program is why IU had 3 back injuries and lower abdominal injury in the 4 years under Miller.
