Good News: Last Year

[Indiana_1993]

I talked to a very good friend who is pushing hard (financially) to make this CMW’s last year. Word is Thad Matta is on the short list. They are now gaining consensus from IU alumni.

Matta was good in his day but IMO, that day has past.
Surely IU can do better.
Unfortunately they haven't for the last 25 years.

IMO, hiring Matta would be a safe, solid hire. It wouldn't be a homerun, closer to a double.

No reason to hire Matta at this point. He's a huge upgrade from Woodson obviously, but why settle?

Yes, his entire post reeks of BS. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if Matta appears on a future list.

They are coordinating high-profile discussions to buy him out. If this is “Nonsense” to you then your starting point is outside the realm of common sense solutions. The fact that these discussions are happening should not be a surprise to anyone, including the most robust CMW fan. Replacements like this are started with discussions amongst the leadership and donor base. Nothing about this process is nonsense.

That's another bit of horrible news if it were even remotely true.

Which part?
Woodson gone or Matta on the radar?

The buyout is about $8.4M paid $1M per year. In the world of buyouts, not too difficult.

Nah.

there will be discussions to buy him out is obvious. I don't think he has any support left at all. the nonsense is Matta
