They did look at him.  Archie recruited him.  Archie just happened to get fired in the process of the recruitment 

Archie didn't recruit him the way he should have and did he ever offer?

I heard there was some not very nice things to say about me over there yesterday and not many people stepping up to refute those claims. 

Haven’t seen anything like that in there to be honest.

I mean alot of teams didn’t offer him.

"If we get in a game and call something and somebody doesn’t know what they’re doing, it’s like, ****, I shouldn’t be coaching."

That's classic!  It would seem he watched the tape.

to second what ap said, i didn't see much. Trilly asked who you are and several explained. One guy said something about you but was quickly told he must be following over here that closely. The general main consensus over there would love to have you. we take care of our own over there too. 

If you take our Chris away we will find you.  Chris you may go but you can't also leave.  ;)

They offered a scholarship, but waited way too long. Purdue got to him early and stayed on him. Dumbest thing Archie did. 

They never offered

He’s the next Tubby, Davis, Ollie, Weber, etc.  Inherited a HOF coach’s players and had a nice year of 2 then all downhill once he had to do things on his own.

Matt Painter was on the radio today and asked him about getting Smith. He said Purdue offered on a Thursday and was the first power conference to offer him and in within 12 hours he committed to Purdue. So hearing that it doesn't sound like  IU offered at all

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

Just saying, nobody knows why Izzo didn't hire him back. To speculate that it's because he was tired of his antics is a bit silly given how long he was there. Moving on

I was going to listen on my way home but I got home before he got on the radio.

Hammer and Rails had an interesting piece about IU/Purdue. Don't know that I agree about their view of how we recruit/don't recruit the state however. I think we just suck at recruiting the state. They seemed to believe that IU believes they're above recruiting the state

You are right….! As soon as Purdue offered, 24 hours later he committed to Purdue. Again, dumbest thing IU did. I thinks we had him if we would have offered.He said he always thought he would go to IU.

Worth noting that Matt Painter spent ten years as an assistant, a year as a head coach, and another where he served as a head-coach-in-waiting under Keady.  Sheyer spent nine years as an assistant at Duke before getting the head job.

The difference is that by the time they got there head jobs, they were no longer just ex-players.

Sure, it is possible for someone to become a good head college coach immediately....just not very likely.

Woody believes he’s above a lot of things. That’s the main reason.
