Have you heard if there’s any chance we may just take the whole program and ‘chuck it’?

One rumor definitely made me ‘chuckle’…but fixing this program won’t be child’s play.

I’m just hopeful we make a serious hire this time and get some buzz around the program.

^^Exactly one week before the Purdue game there was this exchange.^^

Y’all keep paying attention to BtownBanners posts. Because there’s some real live stuff that pops into this board’s threads.

Not saying this is a done thing, but if you read carefully it’s been a potential thing for a while.

You just know this sort of thing is good for the board traffic. And I'm here for it!

I am curious though if Goodell has the power to keep a team from hiring someone? I mean the Raiders fired him not Goodell

I’m talking after the fact. He ended any and all chances of ever coaching in the NFL when he tried (unsuccessfully) suing both Goodell and NFL.

There was a long article....can't remember whether it was SI or ESPN......about this well after the firing occurred.  Seemed Goodell was in constant contact with the Raiders asking them repeatedly what they were 'going to do about the Gruden situation'.  Think that the Raiders took the message as they had better take care of the situation or it was going to get worse.

Yeah. Gruden technically “resigned” but part of his resignation included a settlement from the Raiders as Gruden was still owed over $40 million.

Those are the kind of tweets I hate....if you have something to say, say it.  Name names.  Name a sport, for chrissakes.

Could that be about the $3 million ‘appearing’ for NIL. They may be implying that something was keeping that money from coming out while Allen was coaching. 
 

That was my first thought. I don’t think it’s worth overthinking random tweets. 
 

If it makes anyone feel better, I knew people would be upset with the new hire right when Allen got fired.

There is nothing to overthink about on a random tweet like that because it didn’t provide an ounce of info.  I gathered nothing from it and am not even going to begin trying to connect anything with it.

I'm sure someone will give Gruden a second chance, but I don't see that someone being IU.  His emails would be a bridge (or two) too far for IU.

A name like that could give the program a jolt though, especially if he can bring good coordinators.

With IU's history, if they were able to draw a big name coach then he'd have baggage. If Jackson's tweet was about the coaching hire I think we'll hear reports soon.
