He ain’t retiring and he’s going to hang in there until the bitter end and force or dare the University to make a move, then he’s going out kicking and screaming.  It won’t be a good look by him or the University and he will try to stick it to them and the non-true fans, blaming them for him getting fired!  It’s going to get ugly, but I really hope I am wrong!  I don’t think so because he thinks he is entitled and his bruised ego will definitely take a giant hit!
You got it. The king likely thinks they can't or won't fire him. He isn't leaving on his own. He thinks he is owed this job.

He knows things are not well or he wouldn't have been hiding out in the Bahamas. He's been told the end is near unless things turn around. Not by Dolson but by people close to him.

Yeah, I just go off of what I know from reliable sources. IU was never going to get Brad last time the way they handled things (not Dolson)

Nothing against what you posted or have said in the past, always appreciate the insight to the rumors circling above my pay grade. Just trying to remain rational for as long as possible. As a first time season ticket holder (not great seats), I can't hardly give away tickets to the games that I can't make it too. I spoke to several people over the last couple games that picked up balcony seats near me that paid under $5 for tickets, even the Minnesota game. Waited a long time to get season tickets and now my enthusiasm to attend games is at an all time low. 

P.S. I have 2 tix and parking for Saturday....

He hid out in the Bahamas? No golf? No blackjack? No late night wine and cigars?

He was hiding in the hallways after games. Never went out in public with the other coaches. He might have played golf but it wasn't with fans

Personally-created narratives and fantasies are so much more fun, though...

Interesting... would these people close to him be his booster friends and Quinn? I truly hope the combination of the poor performance and all the dirty laundry coming embarrasses these people so bad they stay out of the way. Do you think its likely they tell him to retire and he listens?

Trilly very often right, but had had a couple of notable misses with IU. Are we sure he didn't just pull the coaching list from BTown Banners to stir up a large and excitable fan base. Maybe there was more to his update, but that seems pretty basic. ; )

Yeah, I'm sure they're hinting that it would be wise to retire at the end of the season. One thing Mike loves, loved about being the head coach of IUBB is going out in public and everyone recognizes him, goes up to talk to him and things like that. That isn't happening anymore and that bothers him. That also tells him things are not going well.

I'm not sure who you're expecting on the list. Coach K? It's basic but I would take most of those guys. 

Also I was contacted last season by one of Trilly's guys but have not been this season yet.

Of course only when people stop coming to kiss the kings ring does he notice things aren't going well. Narcissistic all the way through. It's a shame. I was never for bringing back a former player to coach just for the sake of it. But I would have never had imagined he would be the guy to do more damage to fracture the fan base the way he has.

Chris... who is your top 5... in order..if you're Dolson?

My top 5 would be 

Brad

Dusty

Then someone like McCollim or Josh Schertz who has won at a smaller level, who you know can coach basketball

Then maybe Micah

Again, he deserves the full on scorched earth treatment. I don't have words to express my distain for the man or what he's done to the basketball program... and Buckner too... absolutely disgusting parasites.

We are a football school now and he is no longer the top guy at IU anymore. Cigs is top dog and that must be crushing to woodsons massive ego.

My understanding is that his term on the BoT is ending, not just as the chairman. He could be appointed by the governor again, but whether or not that happens remains to be seen. What also remains to be seen is if he even wants another term, as some on here have said he doesn't.

fortunately, it's a different governor... hopefully that matters.

Not just that, Cig is the highest paid employee in Indiana history. 72 million for football at IU, it is incredible. It is also 72 million reasons why I think the basketball job should be very attractive when it opens. 8 million a year at a "basketball school."  The right guy here winning big will get Paid
