I don't know. There were no charges pressed. 

Beard was fired for-cause and Texas didn't have to pay his buyout. He didn't even fight it.

I've heard this a couple of times today. So something like that if Stevens said no today, and Michigan found out they could offer Dusty a huge contract right now before the season is over. So then you have already struck out on your two big choices. 

So if we get rid of Woody before the end of the season then things look good for Stevens but if we wait till the end then it's probably already a college coach? Is this what your saying?

I thought about this earlier… What if Kenya becomes the interim HC leads us to a NCAA tourney bid and wins a game. I’m guessing he could get some NcAA HC interest from smaller programs and might accept. I know we probably don’t want him as Indiana’s HC but what if he has a solid run to make the tourney, wins a game and wants to return as an assistant for the next HC say it be a Stevens who might not have a college staff built. Would Dolson allow Kenya’s return or does Scott not want anyone back from the Woodson era?

Yes. Especially for Chris Beard.

I could get behind Chris Beard.  I know he’s had issues, but it sounds like they are behind him.  He’s a better and more proven than many others who have been listed on here.

You’d have to be insane to want any of these clowns back.  Maybe Hulls.

Screw the "back channeling" BS.  Just launch the guy and start your search.  

Or start your search anyway without launching him.  What's Woodson going to do?

I'm calling it now.

Following getting blown out at Purdue and Wisconsin, and heading into a home showdown with Michigan, his "retirement" is announced on either Thursday February 6, or Friday February 7.

This way the news gets buried amidst the lead story of the upcoming Super Bowl, plus he is spared being humiliated by cascades of boos at Assembly Hall and the "We want Dusty" chants.

 

I want Dusty, and I wanted him last offseason. But I hope people don't chant that, I think Dusty might take it as disrespectful and a turn-off.

I do hope May gets a big ovation when he comes out though.

Beard is probably the one coach who would take the IU job that I wouldn't have much concern with him being able to win. He has the chops, the demeanor, and the personality to succeed here. Not many do. 

That being said, I don't think the admin would even give him an interview.

No whoever the new coach is they will have total control on picking their assistants. Now Calbert or Jordy may get a job as a player development or basketball operations or something like that.

Not my point. He said Golden situation was black and white. He did it or he didn't. Since UF claimed he didn't do it he's OK but Beard isn't even though the victim later claimed he didn't do it? I'm not advocating for Beard but saying there's a double standard taking place.

Unless Ole Miss and Texas come out and say "we did our investigation, there was no wrong doing"... it's hard to compare the two.

I don't think being convicted of a crime is the barometer one must clear in order to be hired as Indiana's basketball coach. Todd Golden was investigated and cleared by Florida's Title IX department. Chris Beard wasn't cleared because charges weren't filed. Two different scenarios.

I don’t want anyone back I was just doing a what if. I don’t really know if I want Calbert or Clif back either.

Were either found to be guilty of any wrong doing? So both just technically suspected of wrong doing, correct?

I just wanted to make sure that we can just burn it all to the ground and make sure no one from the Archie/Woodson era is back. It’s time to move forward with new voices

Hunter has already been here as part of 2 failed coaching staffs. It's time for him to move on, imo.

I honestly hope the next coach cleans house.

Somewhat…. I just don’t know the logistics or legal protocol when showing interest in a potential coaching replacement when the current coach still has a job. I mean, if Woodson has been told he won’t be returning next year, all bets are off. Bottom line, I would imagine that Brad, Dusty and whoever else Dolson has his eye on stays in contact somehow through all this. If there is legitimate interest from Brad to IU still, then full steam ahead, I say. If not, then all focus needs to be finding a new #1.

Deep clean.  Look around for any pro-Woody/old guard throughout the athletic dept and get rid of them.  They’re toxic.

[Stuhoo]

Since the first game of the conference season at home against Minnesota, we have given up at least 75 points in every conference game. Nine in a row.

That’s next level horrible.

Edit: 74 to Rutger and 69 to USC
