Nope... they won't overpay a coach to coach, but they will handcuff themselves with obscene buyouts on undeserved contract extensions... it's enough to make you sick... why isn't it enough to make you stop, Scotty boy?

Tom Allen is overpaid but that was after the extension. They hire cheap and go cheap on assistant coaches.

If you want to stick with a football theme I'd suggest

Ok, but he DID say that the guy they chose for today was the guy for the rest of the year. Tom is not a serious person. 

He’s so soft. He’s a terrible leader. And he’s a deeply unserious person. If results were bad, but none of the above were true, maybe it’s a different story. But there is not one single redeeming quality you want in a head coach being displayed by ours. We’ll see how serious of a person Dolson is.

The national spotlight of the covid season broke him. It wasn’t always like this.

It wouldn't be fun for Dolson to go to donors and asked to be bailed out of his screw up to the tune of 20m.  

 

I know it wouldn't be at once and a next job would be deducted (I think) but that's still a pretty hefty sum.

Something definitely has to change. Look how things have changed for the good with IU BB since Miller was fired and Woodson took over. IU can’t afford to continually lose games with way things are going now. There are too many factors going against this IU program with each loss. We are most likely going to lose some of our best players to the portal next season if we continue this tailspin. It just needs to happen and money needs to be found.

They need to bring someone in who will tighten things up.

Eh, let’s be honest, we didn’t realize it then, but he’s always been pretty soft. It’s just amplified now. But another way to say what you’re saying is that he just can’t handle this responsibility.

This is why I’ve never liked him. He’s embarrassingly goofy. The complete opposite of cool, calm and collected.

Yes … LEO … instead of getting the job done. Apologies to Lennon and McCartney, “Love is NOT all you need”.

But, we've had this problem for decades.  While Bob Knight was winning, the IU football program struggled to win six games every year as we kept swapping out coaches every four years until Bill Mallory showed up, and athletics was like "well... it'd be nice if we could find someone who could win... but we'll always have the Rose Bowl", and bear in mind that college football, while big, wasn't the corporate leviathan it is today.  When our college basketball program was going through its down period here in the 2000s as coach after coach failed, we could have tried to invest some additional funding into the football program as an insurance policy in the event basketball ever slipped back into the single digit win seasons, but besides the obligatory stadium upgrades as a result of the Big Ten Network (not to mention Michael McRobbie's general hatred of sports in general), we just chose not to.

This university always talks in riddles about their non-existent support for football.  It's like, they don't want to support it, but they don't want to be public about it, either, knowing that saying it will cause them to become another UConn.

Tom Allen’s next presser:

”Guys, no matter how bad this gets, at least we’re not gonna be the team that puts smiling Hitler on the Jumbotron!”

[TTT]

Always kind of wondered what LEO means other than love every one.  (It has really worked well for T.A.financially).  How much does it really mean???  Enough for a refund or at least a partial refund for job performance???LOL.

Sidenote:  I get Bob Knight earned most of his money in a large variety of ways…..However, Bob Knight supposedly declined Texas Tech salary one year for poor job performance.  
At IU Knight salary was in the below or around a couple hundred thousand dollars per year. (times have changed)

Is that true LEO???

Love Each Other actually but not sure beyond that.  RMK have a lot of his salary to the library as well but he did well.

The defense seems to love letting other teams score, does that count?
