If Canada gets the job will I feel disappointed? No.... we could do worse. The question is can we do better?A recent article here emphasized the need for the new OC to adapt the offense to the players. You've just made the argument that Canada can do that.
So, you weren't satisfied with IU's Offense under him? When have you been satisfied with IU's offense, except under a couple years under Wilson? And I can't believe you grade him down at Maryland, which was an absolute train wreck and an impossible situation.
He was very impressive at NIU - don't downplay that. And I brought up the Alabama win for a reason - he's done it. And at a MAC school. If that doesn't impress you, I don't know what would.
He's a solid choice and a Hoosier. We need someone who is not on a learning curve. Canada would be perfect for the job. The only question is, can we afford him. And it appears he's in the running for a HC job.
Pretty impressive for someone not up to your standards.......
I think Canada is the feel good choice. I find it interesting that everyone is willing to overlook his rumored assholish demeanor, when many couldn’t cope with CKW. I’m not saying it wouldn’t do us good, I’m saying the Admin will not be happy with it thus I think is a bad choice.
Fact is, he could be the next B.Bryant but if he doesn’t hold his tongue and carry the water, this admin will not keep him around regardless of how good he is. So let’s accept what we are and work within it.
