I wouldn’t know,,,CNN isn’t allowed on my TV 😎
You do it, you've been plotting it out in your mind for at least a couple years. Don't think ESPN does any of the 30 for 30s, think they are all independently made. Might be commissioned or financed from ESPN.
You have been stating same opinion bud. IU has made one good hire in 35 years. Sampson and that fell a part.
If it becomes clear a change is being made the whining and negativity will explode. The folks that are in hibernation will come back and be like sharks in the water joining all those who were early on their Woodson criticism. Happens every time: apologists turn.
yes. Check out the 8 years or so prior to RMK's arrival: 4 of 6 seasons below 500. RMK had us in the F4 in his second year, WITHOUT NIL or the portal and in an age when coaches didn't generally bring any players with them. I'm not predicting a F4 in 2 years, but I believe if we had the right person in place next year we could immediately be above 500 and in the tourney in year 2 and back on a path that leads to a F4.
The Nebraska comparison is made quite often. The difference IMO is that in the Nebraska football heydey, they were pulling lots of fast skill players from CA. I doubt those days are ever coming back. Whereas IU basketball success was mostly built on Indiana, Illinois, and Ohio recruits. Those are still available with the right coaching staff.
Nope we are NOT allowed to say anything bad about quinn or woodson I am told. All is well.
I agree you can’t compare football and basketball, due to the number of players (offense, defense, special teams).
I guess not. @kkott is liking other guys post and posting his unhappiness but I’m not allowed to. Guess I was right all along and he doesn’t like that.
Actually, it’s not my memory. It’s where I think the program is currently in relation to where I thought it was in select other periods of time. Just MHO.
Not to mention you probably have to get 20+ players to see much of a change in football. In bball, if you have kids that buy in, you can change your fortunes with 3-5 guys. And yes, I'd think recruiting to Nebraska for fball players is going to be much harder than to IU for bball.
The Nebraska example only works because IU and Nebraska are powerhouses that fell.
joining the B1G was a huge mistake for Nebraska footballwise.
It's not that, it's the constant bitching and moaning, about every facet of IU basketball. You posted in a thread titled something like "Depaul, Gtown, Lville, and IU" that Lville could rebound but don't even acknowledge IU could. And you rarely do. It's the non-stop negativity and complaining. See the difference? There's nothing wrong with acknowledging that we're having a bad year, and playing and getting beaten in ways that make you think we need a change. But at least acknowledge the good: the history, the fanbase, the school, NIL, and coaches recognize that... Heck, listen to Bruce Pearl talk about IU: he recognizes the benefits, and if contacted, I think he'll seriously weigh can he do more at IU than at Auburn? Sure sounds like he's thought about it. The only program you say good things about is Purdue and you become more like them every day, imo. Now easily butt hurt and offended, just like the PU guys who post here. Go Boilers.
I mentioned Louisville because I dont have faith in IU admin making a good hire. They are what 0-5 since Knight? Maybe 1-4 if you count Sampson…great coach but bad decisions at Iu. Louisville I think will take a guy like Chris Beard. IU must land a Bruce Pearl type to change this pattern of hires for Iu.
so, here are their coaches since Pitino, who's stint ended in a mess: David Padgett, Chris Mack, Mike Pegues and Kenny Payne. 5 coaches across 7-8 years and that inspires more confidence in them than IU? We had a winner in Sampson but I don't fault them for letting them go. In Archie we got one of the most desirable young coaches out there (I fault them for not doing a more thorough search, imo, something I hope like hell they do this time!). I think Crean was thought of as a good hire at the time. Woodson to me was the only reach. With what we can pay, I think we can and should find a great coach. I wouldn't give you so much sh*t if I thought you really wanted that, and acted like it.
I wouldn’t complain about IU admin if I didnt want it. If I hated IU I would want them to keep Woody and keep losing lol.
But you're more harsh about Sampson than you are about Mack. You're holding Indiana to a higher standard than you do Louisville in this example.
The crap Sampson and Co did will never be “legal” at IU and I am not talking about three way phone calls.
Yes and no….Miller much like a Dusty May, was a 2 year success at a smaller school.
Just stop..I’m speaking legal as of now NIL, Player contact etc..
You will never understand what We are concerned about.
Miller was much more than a 2-year success at Dayton. 4 tournaments in a row. They'd been to 4 tournaments in the previous 21 years. 2 regular season championships...which means not fluke runs late in the year, but honest to god championships over the course of the season.
Yeah I will give you 4 years..I think he gained his notoriety off the elite 8 appearance
Miller was who Ahia wanted before we took him. They ended up with Holtmann who many here wrung their hands about not taking.
