Great news if we have an opening next year.

 

 

Funny how quick things can change. A year ago and Shertz was too small time for a job like IU. Now he’s turning down solid jobs in NC State.  There’s like a 5% chance UNC strikes out on everyone and offers him. 
 

This goes to my overall point that instead of chasing hot names and getting into stupid bidding wars (and thus the long term, buyout heavy contracts which that entails), schools like IU should be reaching down further for the most talented young guys they can find . You can likely offer them more flexible contracts giving you the ability to move off quicker if need be.

Watching Michigan currently. It cannot be overstated enough, Dolson set the Indiana Basketball program back hiring Woodson / not firing him a year sooner. 
 

That being said, I’m 100% okay being a football school now.

Fun fact:  Dusty May and Darian DeVries have both been HCs for 8 years.  They also have the exact  same winning percentage of .695.

It’s pretty clear Quinn and Ferguson were behind everything Woody.  Indy Star even wrote about it.

Scott had to fight tooth and nail to get rid of Woody in year 4.

One more time (say it with me) "THAT WASN'T DOLSON'S MESS". Look farther up the food chain.

Bracket that entered in my family’s contest is ahead of 99.9% of all brackets entered.  Got the final four all right.  I have Arizona beating Michigan and UConn beating Illinois;  in the final I have Arizona over uconn
