One of the things I was most excited about with Coach Woodson was having Fife with him.  Not happy about this at all. 

YES!!!! Thought he would take over one day!

Ok Chris since it's official what were the main reasons? Lack of his input being taken, CMW substitutions?

I just don't think it was a good fit. What he had done at MSU for the last 10 years is not what he was doing here. I had heard during the season from friends of his that he was not happy

The program is officially immune to momentum.

Can he recruit? If not, then no.

This is not a good look for the program at all.

No. Why would he become a full time assistant when Woodson already listens to him over his actual assistant coaches.

Coaching staffs roll over all the time.

Darn, Fife was the assistant I was most excited about.

I thought Chris said he doesn't want to, so still a no.

I don't consider Fife leaving or Lander transferring bad news or wrecking momentum.

Fife has rubbed me the wrong way all year and at MSU he was not liked at all. Lander can't play at all. 

We may get some bad news eventually but I don't consider either of these a problem or stalling momentum.

"...fit must be right..."   Pretty much spells it out.

so is there any chance they can make a wrong a right and possibly ask Michael Lewis to come to IU? or he is too entrenched where he is at?

Secretly, I was thinking this as well. We definitely need more offensive help than defensive.

So you believe we’ll see more player departures and possibly Ya going to join Payne at Louisville? 

100%

I think it's just a start with the players and Lander leaving. More coming, and maybe Ya too

I'll only feel better if we have four to six players enter the portal, we need to clean house. 

Ya going to Louisville wouldn't be too surprising, minus the recruiting and player connections that could hurt. I wonder how Dolson felt about losing Dane? 

Just not a good look for the program when we lost a veteran B1G coach, and IU legend (in my eyes LOL).

Do we think Armond Hill gets moved to an AC role? I would guess he doesn’t want to recruit. Someone up thread mentioned Moye or Lewis, I like those. Maybe one of the other staffers like Walsh if CMW was a fan of what they brought and wants to promote? But I’ll be the first to say there’s no reason to expect an “IU guy,” and CMW may have connections we haven’t considered.

Lewis isn't leaving UCLA for IU. But he should be the next coach at Ball St

I have heard this tossed about from Cronin, and would love it for for Mike to get the gig in Muncie.  I think he could make a meaningful impact on campus and who knows what happens in 5-7 years, maybe he positions himself for a more prominent position.
