I would love that.  Plus I think Sorsby would be a pretty ideal QB for that spread midline option scheme. 

Has a little McCall to him. Not quite as athletic, but we certainly have the QB for it.

Chip Kelly is gonna be available

I'm all aboard the Chadwell train. I love him and his offense is awesome. We'll never recruit at a top tier level in the B1G so we need to be a bit gimmicky on offense. The type of guy I doubt we could land, but I'd be ecstatic.

Would love this, reportedly makes $4M/year and has a $4M buyout this offseason. Do it, Scott

Lee Corso, Bill Mallory, Cam Cameron, Bill Lynch, and Kevin Wilson all won the bucket in their last game as HC of the Hoosiers.

So let's root like hell for the Cream and Crimson Saturday, beat those nerdy engineers, and hope the time honored tradition of sending a coach packing on a high note continues.

Go IU!!

Yeah I'd rather just roll with Fuente.

I have a lot of trouble seeing this as a realistic option, but it is a very specific scenario lol.

But picking the hot MAC candidate is the IU way! 

[MemphisHoosier]

I will be the first to admit I don't know much about Martin, but his body of work is interesting.  Exceptional performance at the D2 level w/multiple championships and a bit of mixed bag in MAC w/three division titles scattered in b/w a few clunker season.  Before taking the gig in Oxford he was with the Notre Dame staff for four years as well. 

Net, he wouldn't be my first choice if I am Dolson but there is some intrigue. I wonder if this interest is hypothetically inspired by Kalen DeBoer's track record and current success?

[Alford Bailey]

I could definitely see IU hiring Martin. He’s having a good season.

[rcbowla]

Rhett Lashlee and Jon Sumrall are 2 young coaches that have had early success. I would assume both could be had but not sure of their interest in IU.

I could definitely live with Fuente.

Not a terribly sexy hire or one I'd be overly enthusiastic about initially, but he had a good thing going at Memphis before landing at VTech.

He was reportedly pretty hamstrung with the AD at Tech, so there may be a reason he fizzled out a bit. If it was the case, he likely has a huge chip on his shoulder with a lot to prove.

Should we add Tom Crean to the list?  Currently unemployed, no buyout to have to pay, football family.

[TTT]

And the top high school coaches??  Actually, kinda already tried that.

Around a 27 win 16 loss record at high school level as head coach.  and some defensive coordinator success and a no bowl win, good Covid season with players interrupting post game regular season interview on regional/national tv after a win = seems like $27,000,000 contract extension should buy more than that.

Thanks for doing this. It would be interesting to another list or a poll like: 

1. Those most likely to consider IU
2. Who forum subscribers want. 

[Hovadipo]

If we’re going the MAC route (be cooler if we didn’t) I’m probably going Chris Creighton. Has made a respectable program out of what is basically the Indiana of that conference. Really tough job. He has taken them to 5 of the 7 bowls in their 130 year history.

Who knows if this is legit or not, but Football Scoop does get "scoops". Seems like a weirder hire but I don't really know the ins and outs of these guys as far as x's and o's, recruiting, fundraising, putting together a staff, etc. There's a lot of stuff that goes into building and maintaining a college FB program.
