You don’t have to be a billionaire to donate nearly $8 million. But Carl Cook certainly fits that description.No but I am not the only one that thought that the money came from Cuban.
How many billionaires do you think that are IU grads and interested in sports?
Same as I knew that Craig Johnson would be next RB coachInteresting and refreshing! BTW, how do you know this?
One hell of a long short list.From Reddit Indy Star's reporting the short list is:
Jason Candle
Chris Creighton
Paul Chryst (kill me)
Willie Fritz
Dan Mullen
Jake Dickert
Charles Huff
Sean Lewis
Barry Odom. Yeah baby.
Jon Sumrall
Kane Wommack
I feel like ADs of schools who want other teams to take their beleaguered coach off their hands, come to the fan forums and act as hype men for them. So strange.That was my reaction as well. I didn't find his resume' all that impressive.
If we go cheap again I’ll be pissedMaybe IU will just hire Rod Carey. Will that upset y’all?
🤣 You have a nice kitchen.You have 4 total posts ever, all since yesterday and all are obsessed with Creighton. Are you his mom? Let it go, bud. He should stay in Yipsilanti
You're starting to win me over. Much stronger argument than the Eastern Michigan coach supporters. .Link, please, regarding players "strongly disliking him."
In his final season at UT, the Covid season, several players opted out of the bowl game but that's become commonplace, particularly for players who are eyeing Sunday ball. It isn't, by itself, indicative of "strong dislike" for the coach.
With respect to your claim that he was "apathetic about recruiting," I wish past IU coaches had been so apathetic. Herman had three straight years of Top 10 classes. His last class dropped to #17.
Rumors? Are you talking about the fact that he was part of a group that ran up a big tab at a strip club? If that was a job disqualifier, I suspect most of us would be unemployed. Or are you talking about rumors of infidelity put out there by Zach Smith, who had an ax to grind? Even if true, that was many years ago and it's between him and his wife.
Herman was 22-4 at Houston. He was 32-18 at Texas, including a 10-win season and a victory over Georgia in the Sugar Bowl. As a head coach, he is 5-0 in bowl games. If this guy is hired here, it'll be a "pinch me" moment, at least for me.
This has to be a joke.From Reddit Indy Star's reporting the short list is:

Well played.His name is Lords. As in Kenyon Lords. As in where Creighton was an All Conference record setting QB. C’mon…. Do your homework!!
Get educated.Oh wow, he wasn't even good enough to go to a real school? Eek, strike 3.
Remember children . . . mommy doesn't like it when you argue.Did I declare I was a moderator? Secondarily, shut your trap!
Thanks,

I have some Florida land for sale, if you think the AD is taking the pulse of internet fan forums as any part of his decision-making process.I feel like ADs of schools who want other teams to take their beleaguered coach off their hands, come to the fan forums and act as hype men for them.

Neither does Indiana 's athletic director.Cuban has nothing to do with football
You might want to re- read what I wrote.I have some Florida land for sale, if you think the AD is taking the pulse of internet fan forums as any part of his decision-making process.
Neither does Indiana 's athletic director.
I think he just made a pretty big move, don’t you? This probably took some work on Scott’s part to get buy in from BOT and POTU. Recall Glass got pushback firing Crean and had to get a BOT backer to get it doneNeither does Indiana 's athletic director.
Bill Cosby always criticized comedians for cursing too....No flipping way. Napoleon Dynamite was great and didn’t have a single profane word. IU can do the same.
I will say, although the act of re-signing CTA to this deal has proven to be the wrong one, I don't think that is the biggest factor of being the AD. A factor, yes, but as you alluded to, it's all the other things around the hiring that pulls it all together.Good grief, you just couldn't wait until the decision was made, could you?
It would seem to me that your statement on the face is false, with the facts we have now.
Virtually no one thought Allen would be fired because of the buy out.
The easy thing, the path of someone that doesn't care, would to have hidden behind the buy out and kept Allen.
BUT Dolson took action, raised the money and fired Allen.
And I think he knows that a new coach will demand more money for salaries and facilities.
Plus, rumors are that he is only looking at established head coaches. So, no hiring from within.
All of that tells me that Dolson knows the importance of football even though he is not a "football" guy.
Glass might have been his boss/mentor but IMO, with firing Archie and Allen, Dolson has been much more decisive.
I don’t see another Boca Flight for today. I only seeBack to flightaware. I see another flight coming in to Bloomington from Boca Raton today. Tom Herman makes a lot of sense here. Proven head coach did really well at Houston. Won at Texas, including 5 bowl wins, just didn't win enough thereto keep his job with the high expectations. He wouldn't have near as much pressure here. Struggled at FAU this year but they are a dumpster fire in transition and he managed to win 4 games.
He beat Tulsa (Kevin Wilson) and came close to beating Illinois. But, FAU had won at least 5 games dating back to 2017 and even had two 11-win seasons in that time span. That's not to imply he didn't have an overhaul with the modern portal and staff turnover but its something to make note of.Back to flightaware.

f**k him!Bill Cosby always criticized comedians for cursing too....
We can't get that NORAD track until 12/1 😆North Pole.... Santa Claus?
And we are not?Struggled at FAU this year but they are a dumpster fire in transition
Could easily have been split three or four ways. Scott laerned under glass for a long time and Fred was extremely well-connected and a fantastic fund raiser.No but I am not the only one that thought that the money came from Cuban.

Not his style IMOWhat do you think about "Cuban Stadium"?
In the first game since getting rid of Matt Canada, the Steelers just had over 400 yards. Pretty solid amount after getting rid of your OC, right? Well it looks even better when it's the first time they've gone for over 400 yards since September 20, 2020, 58 games! Canada was the OC for '21, '22, and '23 until this past week.
Hagan can suck it. That dude is persona non grata up in here.Hagans name always comes up. Surprised it took this long. Now just waiting for someone to throw Matt Canada in there.
Why bring him in for anything? Dude is terrible at his job. He took the Walk Bell hustle to the next level.In the first game since getting rid of Matt Canada, the Steelers just had over 400 yards.

Bring him in as an analyst or strictly a QB coach but nothing more important than that. I'm already hearing enough rumblings that make me lose any faith I had.
MC stayed publicly he doesn’t even want the kids in his family playing football due to CTE.What do you think about "Cuban Stadium"?
Herman is a member of Mensa International. Well, he is no dummy that'sAll on board with Tom Herman. I really hope that’s the guy. Obviously has recruiting connects in Texas, and has spent the last year getting to know players in Florida.
The job he did at Texas was definitely underwhelming, but it’s not bad enough to make me worry. The guy proved he can coach at Houston. Would absolutely love to see it, and I’m really hopeful that’s the guy.
There were two other big donors who bought out Archie. One was a car dealership guy. I’m sure there are plenty of donors not as rich or famous as Cuban.Then where is the money coming from?
IU has had individual donors give up to $60M or more. Just not in athletics.There were two other big donors who bought out Archie. One was a car dealership guy. I’m sure there are plenty of donors not as rich or famous as Cuban.
