He's not that aloof. He knows what is going on

But still, why not put out a retirement statement and end it?  Makes no sense unless he truly believes he can get a 5th year.

I know.  He’s the absolute perfect hire but for the one incident.  Just literally checks every box.

Bozich and Coyle both agreed that the hire absolutely has to be an alpha male.  Talked about how Dusty was likely a bad fit due to that.  I really worry Dolson will hire Dusty.  That would be a tragic mistake imo.

Why?  Don’t think he has the resume?

Can we get Beard to hold up a sign at the next Ole Miss game that he wants the IU job, if he will do that he will jump to #1 on my list immediately! 

Red sweater would win me over

He’s a classic beta.  Nice guy.  Probably way too nice of a guy.  IU needs a killer.

Speaking of dress, I do not recall an update on Woodys tie selection last night?

We are now on page 1987 of this thread, which is year of our last national championship.

Had to chuckle when I saw people tossing names around on an IU basketball FB page. 

One guy said: "Just let Dolson do his job." 

I have no doubt Dolson will do his very best. I also have no doubt that Dolson doesn't give a rat's a$$ what anybody on a free fan page thinks. 

I also think speculating about our next coach is just kinda ... fun. In a sense, that's what fan pages are all about. 

Lighten up, folks, and enjoy the ride. We'll have a new coach in place by next season, and he can't be any worse that Woody. What fun is a coaching search if we can't throw around our unsolicited advice! 

I remember watching this site eight or so years ago on a Saturday afternoon when page after page after page had Billy Donovan taking the job and Mrs. Billy Donovan house searching in Bloomington. 

Now, that was fun! 

Careful. I'm sure some felt that way after the Miller debacle.

Will Wade isn't a realistic candidate so I don't believe you. Just because your fantasy is different than others' fantasies doesn't make your fantasy realistic.

Will Wade would be here tomorrow if offered the job. Can’t say that about Stevens.

Bozich also suggested that Woody is so aloof and out of touch that he probably doesn’t have a clue the situation he is in.  Likely doesn’t think his seat is even warm and that’s he’s doing a good job.

This is going to be an extremely ugly breakup and it didn’t have to be.

I don't think Woodson will easily go or retire.  I know nobody wants to think about this and I'm certainly against it...but what if...what if Woodson is coaching here next year? What does the Program even look like if that's the case? Again, I'm in no way saying he's going to be coaching next year...but until he "retires" (which i don't think he will) or Dolson has cojones and makes the move, he's still on the sideline. Depressing thought.

What woman beater isn't good enough for you? JK

 

Honestly kinda conflicted on Beard. His fiancee said she didn't blame him after she broke his glasses and he was acting in self defense. But for breaking his glasses that would be no excuse. If she is telling the truth about him acting in self defense than she is being less than forthcoming about her part.

Then the question is was the level of damage he inflicted merely what was needed to protect himself from her or did he become aggressive, biting and hitting her seems more than necessary to restrain a woman.  The level of wildly out of control and aggression by both parties will likely never be known.

A deep dive into his past and subsequent behavior would be needed and likely pursued by IU if he is ever going to be seriously considered

Mike Woodson would never bother doing such a thing for the lowly students.

Are you seriously asking if what she said deserved a beating? Or for him to even raise hands to her?

There are some people here who either support domestic violence or find it socially acceptable at the very least as long as basketball games are won. I'm all for second chances, but not further risking the already shaky moral reputation of the athletic department representing the largest and flagship public institution of learning in the state. There are more coaches out there than Chris Beard who can win big at Indiana and will take the job without increasing risk for another embarrassing termination.

I promise you that every one that is around the program knows that Beard wants the job. He has done everything possible to let IU know he is interested, other than holding up a hire me sign on the sideline

Awesome. Can't wait to remember this in 5 years when he's fully repaired his image and he's taken Ole Miss to a final four while we're floundering with whatever coach we decided to hire.

It was a joke there mamadrama. Yeah, well.... yeah definitely joking

Assault is not funny.  Anyone who would joke about that is really messed up.
