I find it incredibly difficult to believe that a donor would be willing to spend large sums of money to make someone go away, but that same donor would not consider contributing to an NIL fund of a capital improvement effort to improve facilities - both are for the benefit of the players and the overall betterment of IU football. I do agree. I’m excited for this hire to see how serious we are about football. This is Dolson’s second biggest hire. If we can get the new indoor facility and increase the NIL support with a great hire we’ll be cooking! iuthruandthru and Artie86 2 Quote

It was noted that Sorsby was hearing numbers between $400,000 and $600,000 for programs looking at him in the portal. Over three years that's around 1.5 million for one player. Reports are coming out that football NIL money was doubling in its second year of being legal compared to the first. Quote

Maybe so... but still, an extra $20M in an NIL fund is better spent helping there rather than constantly being thrown down the "coach, just go away" hole. Tom White and DChoosier 2 Quote

spe317 Posted November 28, 2023 Posted November 28, 2023 Anyone else having flashbacks to anything in the mid 00’s about possibly hiring someone with dirty laundry? If we manage to Sampson ourselves with football… Cannot fathom there’s even the slightest appetite for a coach with skeletons or even fresh bodies falling out of their closet. Quote
cbp4iu Posted November 28, 2023 Posted November 28, 2023 The dream scenario is IU hires Tom Herman and he gets to work right away and lands Danny O’Neil. May not be the best season next year but glimmers of hope. NVFalcons1990 and cybergates 2 Quote

Take away Fitzgerald’s baggage. After years of establishing his program (and I was big fan) in the very weak West division he won one conference game in three of his last four seasons. 1-8 in 3/4 last years. Based on that maybe we should rehire Allen…..LOL. go iu bb 1 Quote

Popular Post Chris007 Posted November 28, 2023 Popular Post Posted November 28, 2023 I think 4 interviews have been had, with more going on today. So far 3 head coaches and one coordinator. I would be ok with Candle and him bringing his starting QB. Justin Frye has a lot of support from former players. Fitzgerald is out. This is just the info I have heard not saying it's 100% correct.
