Yes. There is always hope. There are only so many HC jobs with top-5 NIL, a big budget to run the program, and all the "blue blood" stuff. It can be done if we don't repeat the same mistake of the past 25 years -- unqualified people meddling in the coaching hire leading to bad hires.
When Coach Grant (now at Dayton) took over the Alabama head coaching job, not only did he speak to Saban but he had basketball recruits speak to Saban as well on visits.
I got home with about 4 minutes left in the game. Checked the ESPN live score web page, saw the writing on the wall, and went to make something to eat. Turned on Fisch on radio in case it got interesting, but that was it. Fisch himself sounded pretty disinterested at that point. Didn't listen to the post-game show, figured it would be the usual "we gotta make our shots, get over the hump"
Nice that Don has IU fball this year. Must be getting tired of calling the bball games.
My guess is some light booing during intros and maybe halftime if we play bad.
I remember home games from the end of the Davis years. Those were ugly environments. Booing. You could clearly hear people yelling “fire Mike Davis”. Not just people close by. You could hear people from the other side of the building.
Mike Davis was much better.
I could be wrong but it seems to me that Davis had a measure of humility and self honesty that Woodson lacks.
Yes, Davis seemed.like a very good man. Was much more self aware than Woody.
That makes sense--Saban was (and still is) the "King of Tuscaloosa." Why would Bigfoot want recruits to talk to anyone but the self-proclaimed "King of Indiana"?
Woody just needs portal recruits to come visit him! This problem can be solved with an extra $5 million to throw for a roster.
We read posts just like this one last year. Yet, here he is. As long as the wrong people are allowed to control the basketball program, no effort will be made to find the best coach or replace the one they installed.
One last time... The buyout restructure speaks volumes. Barring a miraculous turnaround, Woody will start receiving his $1 mil per year retirement from IU.
Yeah he was never not coming back this year but as you say much has changed. Chatter is that control of this has been wrested from QB.
In the “1%” chance that IU makes the tournament, what do you suggest? A lifetime extension? Rings for all the players?
