I have typically been an observer of the thread. I do love a nice flight tracking day though.....

I don't know much about all of the candidates but some of the areas popping up on the incoming flights are:

Dayton

Columbus (OH & IN),

Bentonville, Arkansas

Hilton Head

Winston Salem, NC (I think that's a Cook thing to be honest),

St. Louis

and Middleton, WI .... 

since I don't follow all of the candidates as much as I would a basketball search, I have no idea if any of these mean anything at all.  

 

I think the owner of Goldcasters has a business, a kid, or something that makes him go to Dayton a lot. I remember that from my previous flight tracking searches.

Remember to check the departures because we could be going to meet some candidates. We're not going to make Candle from Toledo to come here when he plays for a championship on Saturday

[lillurk 3,756]

No special knowledge but it kinda feels like it’s gonna be Candle. Let’s see if we can pry Frye — who, among the four mentioned this AM, would be my second choice — to OC and call plays.

Only ones that differ from the arrivals are Terre Haute, Cincinnati and a couple of PA flights (Harrisburg & Latrobe)

If it is Candle he is most likely bringing his staff with him and will call his own plays. Plus a chance he brings his soon to be 6th year QB with him.

This Google search is promising....

 

What is Latrobe PA known for?

 

 

 

Latrobe is a great place to visit and is known for many things and people including the Latrobe Brewery (the original brewer of Rolling Rock beer), Saint Vincent College (where the Pittsburgh Steelers hold their training camp every summer), golfer Arnold Palmer, Mr. Fred Rogers, and the first banana split!T

 

 

I'll take the ghost of Mr. Rogers and a banana split over Mike Hart!

Could also see him bringing back Larry Black who played DT under Lynch/Wilson. Was Toledo's DL coach under Candle before taking the same position at Vanderbilt last year.

Is Brian Hartline a possibility?

If his name hasn't already been discussed on the board, the answer is no.

Okay, leave Frye then, I can live with this

Hopefully that has nothing to do with Matt Canada

My bad got my days mixed up. I still stand by that comment though. I don’t see them introducing Candle or Hart and then they go coach a game on Saturday which they would do.

If we throw $15M at Tom Allen to go away, but turn around and hire Mike Hart, we'll be an even bigger laughingstock than we are now.

FTR I would probably be ok with him being OC, but man, IU is a tough place to learn how to be head coach.

I'd say the same about Frye. This isn't a learn on the fly job.

If I helped get him out of that Allen contract then he turned around and hired someone that had never even been a coordinator I'd want him to update his resume.

Yeah the OSU fans on the Rivals national board are hoping we take Frye off their hands. 

Maybe they're just looking for a scapegoat, but they are blaming recent offensive struggles on him since he's been there.

That would kinda be IU football, wouldn't it.  :)

Anyway, he didn't really say that.  He said it would be "ideal" to trot the new coach out to the fanbase at the basketball game.  I'm not sure why that would even matter.

Or the same about Rod Carey

Definitely a scapegoat. OSU had defensive issues in 21 and 22, finally corrected it only to have pedestrian QB play this year for the first time in ages. Neither of those responsibilities fall on Frye.

Still not a reason to feel confident about hiring him, but he is the last of their concerns.

I heard that Osterman said IU plans on having the new head coach at the IU and Maryland game Saturday. That tells me it’ll be Frye or Chryst if that is true. 

The Maryland game is Friday

[Hovadipo 56,256]

What day is the Maryland game?

[GoIU8 205]

Mike Hart is the ultimate lose-lose. It's highly, highly likely he won't succeed, cause he would be beholden to who his coordinators are, just like Allen was. And if he succeeds, he'll leave the nanosecond the Michigan job opens up.
