You and I are going to have very different reactions to his inevitable hiring. Lol…

 

I’d probably throw him in the Brownell category. We’d be fine, but no championships incoming. He’s also a strong personality and I wonder if he’d eventually wear thin with the Indiana HS coaches. 

Williams would actually build a program.  He has done it at 3 different places.  He has a shelf life of about 5 or 6 years before he moves on.   IU needs someone to reset the culture and get them to being in the conversation again.  Buzz would do that.   Worry about championships when someone gets the program out of the middle of the B1G

If I were in a bunker somewhere with Dolson strategizing, I’d probably suggest something like the following.:

 

1) Call Stevens (or May if you love him) and give them the godfather offer. Let em know you’re getting it right this time and they’ll likely never have an opportunity to coach at IU (if that means anything to them) or make this much money coaching again.  Give them 48hrs to decide and move on. 
 

2) While you got the donors checkbook open, call up one of Bennett or Wright—whomever you think is likelier to coach again—and offer them the same deal but with 5-6 years instead of 10. It’s their best chance to 2x or 3x their net worth at this age and IUs best chance at conf and National titles in the next 5 years. 
 

3) Pick your guy from the McDermont, Devries, shaka, Buzz (for usps) group of guys who are guys who Midwest guys who are experienced and can coach their @$$ off. Offer them 3-5mil knowing multiple S16/E8s are a floor and a good baseline to build off of.  
 

If you can’t accomplish any of that you don’t deserve to be the AD at IU.

Just saying; your option three would have the effect of saying to McDermont, Devries, Shaka, and Buzz "Wanna take a pay cut/very minimal raise to come to IU?"

IU isn't to holy for Pearl. Dolson wanted to pull the trigger. Beard there's just no way that one would happen. 

I was told Buckner had given Dolson the okay to make a move if it was for a big fish?

Throw a bag at Greg McDermott  and call it a day 

The one thing that worries me about McDermott was that he did get to a P5 team before and it went very poorly....four straight losing seasons at Iowa State, 18-46 in the Big 12.  I will say prior to IU hiring Kelvin Sampson, McDermott was a guy I thought IU should consider based on him putting Northern Iowa on the map.

Not saying I wouldn't want him, but there is that one hiccup in his resume.

[RaceToTheTop 29,297]

Here is the twist that IU fans will get.

1.  IU fires Woodson.

2.  IU hires May.

 

 

 

 

 

 

3.  But it's not Dusty, it's Scott.

Nobody seems to be mentioning Will Wade or Chris Mack. Former P5 guys with success who are re-inventing themselves after being put in timeout. Those are actual realistic candidates who would seriously consider IU if offered.

It was a sham. Dolson had Pearl ready to go and Buckner said no on Pearl.

What????

 

Where do I find this info. I can’t believe Shaka (I know Matquette fairly well) makes $5 and he’s gotta be the highest paid. 
 

Either way.. sub in whatever number you want to make the scenario work

Trolling? No. But I needed the laugh.

When people say this fan base is delusional, those are the types of posts that get referenced.

I can feel Buckner’s deep love for IU radiating through my screen as I read this post.

Well you aren't a serious poster so you're basically a troll

Obviously, nothing personal agenda wise ever happens with him

The dedication to keeping the Steven's dream alive is admirable. But you aren't actually serious.

Buzz is the highest paid at about $5 million/per. Shaka, McDermott, and Devries all at just over $3 and each of their schools would go higher to keep them.

It doesn’t get much bigger than Pearle. He has the #1 team in the country at a football school

It is ironic that you talk about other people being dedicated to a cause.

I thought this place would be a morgue in January because of how great this team is... what happened? Were you mistaken? 

I mean, you were still on the Woody train after sitting through the Bahamas and back to back blow outs to Neb and Iowa, lol

Who is unserious again?

Chris Mack, Will Wade, Brad Stevens, the Prophet Muhammad or John The Baptist... I don't care at this point.

POTFB and retire Mike Woodson.
