I believe we have a consensus as to the best choice for our next coach. All hail IUBB Coach Hodgson!

Umm.  That be a negative on my end.  No Astro fans unless it is the dog.

Great coach, but he's as Texas as it gets. I think he'd be a bigger long shot than Stevens.

I have seen this mentioned by some others but is that really as big a deal anymore?  People move all over the place for opportunities these days in all kinds of industries.  Heck, Brad Stevens left the Midwest for Boston and many could have said he was as Midwestern as it gets.  I think we read too much into things like this at times.

Ironically, that's how I knew about her. I'm watching Arkansas St the other day and they show this beautiful lady behind the bench and I'm like, there is no way in heck that's his wife. Quick google search and lo and behold, he's a candidate for the IU job.

I think we read into just about everything a bit too much here:)

I emailed Dolson and told him I'd donate a stack of $2 bills my aunt kept giving me over the years for Christmas if it would help get Brad. SOB hasn't responded! You either want um or you don't Scott!!! Yes or no!!! 

Maybe your emails got lost because ScottyR was sending so many.

If you want to commit to sucking then Bobby Hurley would be the perfect hire.

Hey, Bobby does have IU ties you know.  He was the IU PG in Blue Chips don't forget.

Dude hooked up with a coed 10 years younger than him while coaching at Bama. Kinda gives me the willies.

If you're Dusty and even remotely interested in the upcoming opening at IU, why even entertain the idea of an extension mid-season? If you think IU is a legitimate option, you're telling your AD "Hey I appreciate that vote of confidence, bu I need to focus on the season. Let's pick this up after the tournament. "

It shows his hand, sure, but he's got all the leverage in the world if they're trying to extend him now to keep him from IU.

This begs the question about his relatively low buyout. IF it was May's requirement, that bodes well for a possible move to IU. Obviously, what happens next is important.

But why the low buyout from Michigan's perspective? It seems as though they didn't bother to protect their investment in Dusty May. I mean, even The Incompetent One has an $8.4M buyout and he's one of the worst coaches ever to roam the sidelines...

It was a great trial run for them. They got the top up and comer and got the opportunity to give it a test drive without committing to him long term and being saddled with a $20m buyout when he didn’t pan out.

now that he is panning out seemingly, they need to go secure him long term.

That is punching above your weight in a giant freaking way. Literally looks like a KissCam where they’re dating the people on the other side of them.

He actually was Oats top recruiter while landing a 3rd ranked class.  Franklin’s Law of Thermodynamics holds true here.

Speaking of wives, that should be something Dolson gives some consideration to. 
 

I wouldn’t recognize Archie’s wife nor Woodsons wife if I was standing next them at a checkout counter. I find that a little odd. It’s almost as if their families were not all in/not a part of creating a culture/ never present

Trust me, Woodson's family (daughters) is "all in" and "a part of creating a culture" with the Woodson crap train. As for the Mrs., gotta say, the only image I've ever seen of her was her being all pissed off having to go to a HS sectional game with the Wizard of Broad Ripple.

There are two different buyouts:

- The one if May chooses to leave (i.e. gets hired away) started at $5M and will be $4M after this season. 

- The one if May gets fired is 70% of his remaining salary. After this season it will be at ~$11M.

Yeah, it's not $20 but it's not $5M either. It is how an initial contract should be although if I'm a Michigan fan I'd want the buyout for May leaving to be higher.

I wonder what Woodson's buyout is for leaving by his choice. It would be hilarious if it was $0.

What is your problem? Don’t you know the administration has already shown itself to be incompetent without Stevens’s rumors. Why you so worried about it? 

The same administration that hired coach Cig. Also this is a new administration so no they haven't shown to be incompetent
