I can't recall....

ever hearing of a head coach search by an AD or athletic department that included a former head coach who had just left the program for a higher profile job but assisted in the search to find his own successor.

Goes to show you two things, the type of guy Coach Smith is and the trust FGlass has in him.

Did I miss something?

Where did you see/hear that? After learning Scott Rolen was involved, I feel pretty good about this hire. If CTS had something to do with it, I'd feel even better. But I'd have to wonder about a couple of things too...

Re: Did I miss something?

That statement was in the original release of the hire of Lemonis.

Perhaps it was edited later

I didn't find the reference to Coach Smith when I checked today, but it could have been there originally and then edited out due to some sensitivities of some sort.

Re: Did I miss something?

Besides being from Indiana, does Rolen have any connection to IU?
