Money is never been the issue. It's just about getting the right hire and right people on board. 

I think if Dolson is looking at the future of the program he should realize a move should be made this year… just my opinion.

But it is because you have to get the right people on board for that money. 

If we didn’t have a big buyout and who we wanted didn’t, Dolson wouldn’t have to get people on board nearly as much. 

We have one of the largest alumni in the country if 1/4 of them gave $100 we would have the buyout. That's not counting people like my grandparents who would donate but didn't go to IU. It's just more of getting people to sign off on like you have said and I agree with

And the right person

Seems to be common knowledge quinn is the reason we hired Woodson his good buddy. And quinn isnt firing his good buddy. They will run this baby right into the ground if they have to but they think this year was a fluke and he is all aboard the Woodson train. He is delusional.

Mike DeCourcy is blaming the fans for the coaching woes at Indiana. Good grief. 

In the words of our coach, we are not the ones missing shots. It’s not our job to get them open looks. Lol

I just can't understand these people who won't get on board.  They like losing?  They enjoy being the laughingstock of the college basketball world?  We've been sitting on a winning Powerball ticket for over 20 years but we're too inept to cash it in.  Absolutely mind blowing.

Has Mark Cuban followed any coaches on Instagram? I'm just kidding

Hopefully it won’t matter and Dolson would have a solid backup idea.

Well Dolson backup plan brought us Woody in the first place so not sure I would bank on it.

When talking about "fit" I can't think of many better than Pearl. He'd bring energy and excitement as a given. He's a coach that knows basketball and would appreciate a massive fan base that also knows bball. He knows Indiana and would be able to recruit the state well. He is good with the media and I'm sure donors. Oh and the dude freaking wins. I just think it'd be a fantastic marriage of coach and program. Could coach for 10 more years possibly and have us as legit contenders each year.

We all might disagree but if what I'm hearing is the backup plan this time IMO it's a clear upgrade than Woody but that can be argued.

Option A) Bruce Pearl
Option B) Pruce Bearl
Option C) Call Bruce Pearl again

I just noticed your avatar which is how we all feel.  Hopefully we can be on the mend next year with one of your above options.

IMO that's the only way it could go down is the next coach is absolutely locked and has the cred to back up the hire and therefore the justification for Woody's departure.  In no way will Woody be let go - and I'm not confident that's going to happen - and then we start making phone calls.

To add to this - if it's Pearl, and there's real smoke associated with him coming to IU, this thread is going to hit 1,000 pages. No way he would announce something like that before Auburn is done with their NCAA run. We have a lot of time to speculate, agree, disagree, and spin the Brad Stevens Wheel of Fortune, folks!

I'm rooting for AU to lose round 1, now.

Social media has really turned into being okay with a new coach. Woodson better count his days at that rate.

At this point are you 100% sure we are done with Woodson after THIS season and now it’s just a matter of waiting to see who they officially get to replace him?

Also I want to add for everyone to see and read because I see this on Peegs and here. The mods over there are the worst IMO but anyway. When someone says IU is talking to Pearl, Alford, Pitino whoever, It's not Dolson picking up the phone and calling one of these coaches.

It's someone who is related to IU who is talking to the agent of a person close to whichever coach. Numbers can be discussed in this situation and it doesn't mean we already have lawyers drawing up contracts. But those talks can take place before Dolson meets with one of these coaches face-to-face. Just wanted to get that off my chest.

No I am not. These things scare me so much because so much has to happen. And with this one it has more working parts than the past few. But on the other hand, I love coaching changes. It brings hope.
