I kind of love how you'd rather be hit by a bus than IU fold the program. A loyal Hoosier.

Didn't Dolson do that with Dane Fife though?

I swear he was hired before Woodson was.

Yeah that was a gigantic mistake that hopefully he learned from. I do think it's a little different hiring a guy in football that's more than likely to run/call the entire offense before you hire a head coach though.

Just feels like Dolson hasn't been on top of things. I realize that Allen was let go Sunday, but many are claiming the decision was made weeks ago. It just seems odd that it's taken 4 days just to VET candidates. Candle is the only guy on that list that they may have limited access too given Toledo's status in the MAC championship. This whole process just reeks of amateur hour. 

How are you basing his process? Through forum rumors?

It's a sickness and we're all infected.

If Dolson isn't letting the new coach hire his own staff it's likely why the applicant pool is so terrible (not saying this is the case).

Is Brian Hartline a possibility?

also a flight coming in from Columbus, IN ....

I loathe our car-centric culture so much that I sincerely hope someone is actually flying from Columbus, IN to Bloomington, IN.

Because I have zero confidence in him doing something competent, especially in regards to hire a football coach.

Several posters on the Michigan board seem to think Hart is gone and will be at IU.....

Earlier I thought Frye would come to IU to be the OC, now I'm hearing he would rather stay at OSU to be the OC, and would only come to be the HC.

I’m starting to like the idea of Frye or Hart honestly

Have not heard his name but that doesn't mean anything. Someone also mentioned Lincoln Riley's little brother who is the OC at Clemson who was at TCU last year. He is an OC, a big-time recruiter who calls his own plays.

I have to be honest I do like me some coaching searches. The Christmas edition is just as fun as the Spring break ones. 

I would prefer no more spring time ones for a long time lol

I would prefer Frye over Hart just because he's a former Hoosier and has called plays

Why? Based on what?

Hearing Herman wouldn’t take the job because his contract states he has to be the only Herman in the university and with Herman Wells he’d always be number 2.

Wut? Are they hang gliding? That should be like a 4 and half minute flight.

[Mr. Hoosier Pride 485]

I have typically only 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.

This sounds closer to the truth than anything I've read on here this morning ;)

[AKHoosier 6,739]

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.
