I just posted a thread asking, what is it that would make Buckner able to hijack the program? I can't find anything in the bylaws. I guess it must be something more complicated. Is it the cache that comes with being the captain of the '76 team? Ithere.must be some tangible reasons he can hold things up?
The BOT has to vote on funds. The new contract woody signed also has a buyout clause of a 1 million a year for 12 years and woody must seek employment. This stuff is getting leaked. So far Dolson is winning the PR battle.
Scott chose war. That’s what’s being said on other outlets. Dolson is a thorny MF’er it seems.
Scott went big game hunting and made a kill. You are correct that Buckner is the hold up. We're so close to being back.
Nope. Dolson is leaking this stuff. He has a “Dude” and a 2nd “Dude” as back up. The hold up as always is political not financial.
He absolutely did. 👏👏👏👏👏 for Dolson. Dolson is not who we thought he was. He’s no Fred.
I understand that. If the majority of the board did not agree with Buckner it would be a moot point.
He's nearly as old as Woodson. Not who I would have gone after. We'll be doing this again in 4 years.
I've posted multiple times on here that Dolson is WAY more decisive than we give him credit for. And that his hirings and firings since he became AD, show, to me, that he cares about IU athletics being good more than any other IU AD in my lifetime.
Sh!t you talking about? Pearl was better than Barnes in ever instance. Had a better record. It’s not even close.
It’s not a moot point. Buckner is getting pummeled by everyone except a few hold outs.
I don't care if he's only at IU for 2 years...if he flips the program to playing how Auburn plays...and is able to attract top talent from Indiana, Top 100 HS, and Top portal kids...We'll be in a better spot 2 years from now than we would have been if we had kept Woodson for 2 years. If he's able to coach much more than 2 years, we'll start competing for hardware again.
Cig is about same age (62) as Bruce (63).
Here is Pearl's record...
| Southern Indiana: | 231–46 (.834) | 148–28 (.841) |
| Milwaukee: | 86–38 (.694) | 51–13 (.797) |
| Tennessee: | 145–61 (.704) | 65–31 (.677) |
| ||||||
| Total: | 671–263 (.718) |
He subs even more than Woodson does..
they were put on probation. he got fired, now that paying people is legal, he will be fine. If you want to go on record alone. Barnes has built a damn good program. I know Pearl had them winning also. Pearl is Sampson with a better personality, he will win at IU.
Ha ha. He does sub a lot. I'm sure that would be one of my first "bitches" about him.
Pearl had an elite 8, 2 sweet 16s, a .700 winning percentage and didn’t miss the tournament at UT in all 5 years. He had them rolling. The NCAA is a fecking farce!!!
Absolutely but he has somebody. That’s for sure.
he did, he's also a cheater and is 63 years old himself. and if you watch him on the sideline may not live long. he's an upgrade on Woodson no doubt, he's also locked in long term at 5.4 mil a year. with an annual raise. I'll believe it when I see it as far as him strolling the sideline in Assembly Hall.
May not end up being him.
Yes an I thought that was borderline too old also. But it's football, no legacy to get back to there, any improvement and he'll be hailed as a magician.
The "dudes" in question would be good to know. Sounds like Pearl is one of them, what if Pearl is actually the "2nd dude"?
I have no clue. Trilly has said the Pearl camp has leaked stuff but this new round is coming from the Dolson camp. QB is playing checkers.
You never know. One thing is certain Dolson has someone big lined up. He's not starting a civil war and putting his job in jeopardy to go hire Schertz or May.
It also(to me) looks like he’s trying to battle the political BS that’s plagued them for decades. Finally a guy willing to go nuclear. Right or wrong.
Not flamed out due to on court success or play, but yes, I'd agree he flamed out. I didn't recall the events surrouding his dismissal. Slimy guy. We'd be selling our souls and you better have good compliance oversight, but I believe he could build a monster here... and he knows it.
The portal and NIL wiped out most of the "cheating". The whole thing is a free agency free for all now. The only way a school can "cheat" anymore is phony classes or grades...and even that has been excused. What else is there? The brown paper bags are legal now. One could argue that Pearl was "ahead of his time" when he got in trouble.Not flamed out due to on court success or play, but yes, I'd agree he flamed out. I didn't recall the events surrouding his dismissal. Slimy guy.
