The mods don’t moderate pms; just the open board. But let’s move on and all be our better selves.

I’m still discussing potential candidates and buyout ramifications just like the original thread title suggested.

The pro-Fitz camp should consider that NW isn’t missing him and all they did was hire a guy who was around. Huge no from me for many reasons.

There is only ONE truly logical and realistic choice here...

Head Coach: Nick Saban

Offensive Coordinator: Ryan Day

Defensive Coordinator: Kirby Smart

Assistants: Lincoln Riley, Dabo Sweeney, Lane Kiffin, Jim Harbaugh, Kalin DeBoer, Ed Orgeron(because that is absolutely hilarious to think about in Bloomington)

If John Harbaugh doesn't return as special teams coordinator, its a no go ;)

That’s a Fitz recruited team and Fitz record at NU speaks for itself. Fitz at a school with no academic restrictions could be dangerous. Schools like NU and Stanford aren’t going to survive long term in the football world in the portal era.

Not only does he have that hazing scandal, but even before that his record his last few years was IU bad. 3 out of 4 seasons with 1-8 conference records. And that was in the B1G west which was even weaker than usual during that time.

Hard pass from me.

Dana Holgorsen is about to be available. 

How great would this look patrolling the sidelines at Memorial Stadium on Saturdays??

Completely agree that it’s pretty much his team this year.

Also like that the team largely stood behind him RMK style when things blew up.

Much more bothered by the three stink bomb seasons he put up in his last four at NW.

Has Dolson issued a statement yet? I checked but can't find anything, not even a tweet from the Indiana Football account. Would be nice to see something as simple and generic as "we're committed to making Indiana University Football a nationally relevant program." 

I wonder how quickly we see a hire made.

Pat Ryan funds Northwestern’s athletic department basically out of his own pocket and is as conservative as it gets.

He is by far and away their biggest donor and calls the shots.

Thanks for making my point.  A small minority of one controls.  If the plebs had their way NW sports would be D3.

Sherrod Moore would be great.

Wonder if he’d be interested.

His name is Sherrone Moore.

I think it’s going to be Jason Candle by the end of the week

To me? No statement on the firing and search means very, very quickly.

I can live with that.  He is would be on my list.

Or if Dolson gets his wish Fitzgerald but Whitten has to approve that. Not sure she will do that

Hopefully Dolson hasn’t commented because his power to hire the next coach has been taken from his hands.

I absolutely deplore search committees because if you’re an AD and don’t have the foresight to hire your own guy you don’t deserve to be an AD. But in this instance an outside firm MUST be hired. Dolson doesn’t have a clue. And why should he? He’s a basketball shill who’s never been tasked with evaluating a football applicant pool and is responsible for handing out one of the most reckless college football contracts in the history of the game. He should be left out of any and all discussions assuming IU continues to employ him.

I'd take Pat Fitzgerald but I think his success would hinge on his OC. Honestly though, he'd probably come to Indiana and wonder how NW has better facilities. But I'd definitely take him.

[GoIU8 205]

Fitzgerald would be an awful hire when you look at his resume with a microscope. He's had really awful years. His longtime DC retires, NW craters and doesn't ever recover from that. I'll be really disappointed if he's the hire.

[AKHoosier 6,739]

I'd get more on board with Fitzgerald if I avoided looking at his last 3 or 4 seasons at Northwestern. 

NU would have tolerated the hazing fiasco if he was still winning 7-10 games per year.
