Not unless they proved they were a hell of a coach first.  We don't need guys learning on the job just because they played at IU.

Sounds like our current coaching staff!

So we are still all in on Fire  Woodson    ? I am also on the tank train which is a first ,I don't recall  wanting a coach gone so much before at least not in basketball ,football  yes pro and college ,but so happy with the college football team ,

It appears we are debating whether fife is a bad guy or not. I thought this was about getting rid of the wizard.

No one wants to think of PU but I'm really just responding to help you get rid of t hat jockstrap before the game tomorrow

Purdue plays like IU should. IU really screwed up by not looking at Braden Smith.

Correct me if wrong but only 1 former player is doing well as a coach I think Memphis  is doing well otherwise don't know any current used to be player coaching well right now.

 

Do you mean former players coaching at their alma mater? Yeah, there's only a few of those and for the most part it hasn't worked out.

Davis at UNC is another one in addition to those mentioned by others already. He's done much better than Woodson but some think he's on the hot seat while others think it's just warm and he'll for sure get another year. So he hasn't been terrible but he's also not great and likely won't last too much longer at UNC.

If you mean coaches who were former players at any school, then that would be quite a few of the coaches out there.

Yep. How many star players became great coaches I think is a different question with a lot less answers.

I am not sure its like  having to look at an accident you know you shouldn't but its hard to stop yourself 

When IU is playing bad, this place is 100% like a car accident. You don’t want to look, but you can’t look away.

But with this current season, Mike Woodson and it being a Purdue game, I don’t even know what to call this place tomorrow

No I meant  ones who played at the university that became a coach at said school

Woodson didn't recruit him and would have no clue about coaching him.

It seems to be that, in general, the better they are as a player, the worse they are as a coach. The exceptions to this seem to be those who weren't really athletically gifted but had to work extremely hard and really understand the game to become good. Even then they don't always do well. 

My guess is that those who it comes to more naturally might not have as deep of an understanding and/or don't know how to relay their understanding to those less gifted. Those that had to work hard expect that same dedication from others and fail when they don't get that.

I don't have an opinion on Fife one way or the other, but it's not speculation from Chris because he 'doesn't like the guy'.  Michigan State boards will tell you the same thing.

Because message boards are LOADED with facts and people "in the know" right? My guess is that Izzo keeps a lid on alot of things, unlike IU

Really depends on how much Roy is willing to stick his neck out for him.  I think he’ll be gone soon.

No speculation required to know Izzo hasn’t hired him back after all these years. Maybe he really is happier in insurance…
