He's a horrible CEO. He's wasted year after year with incompetent offensive coordinators, incompetent offensive line coaches (recruiters), incompetent defensive coordinators (why he went back to calling the defense).
He seems to be a really good defensive coordinator/coach. That's as high as he's capable of going and being effective. And there's nothing wrong with that.
But he's proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, at least in my opinion, that he can't run a program in large part because he simply can not identify competent coaches. That won't miraculously get better going forward.
It's no different than anything else. It comes from the top and it's really simple. Bad programs/organizations have people incapable of hiring the right people for the jobs from the top down.
IU football is no different than IU basketball. They need to hire a successful retread needing a second or third chance or someone crazy who's had success like like a Mike Leach (RIP). Just stop with the hope strategy of cheap, inexperienced, mid major or less lightning in a bottle coaches. It doesn't work. It hardly ever does. (Woody is still on the clock for me - he's still digging out from shit the program allowed for the past 20 years)
This isn't as hard as they're making it. It's only hard because the leadership, as we all know, isn't particularly competent.
For AD, for football, for basketball there is an overwhelming need to hire someone who has proven their ability to have considerable, sustained success at the highest levels. Indiana, especially in basketball, but in all sports, should not be a proving ground. Ever.
And for the love of God we have to stop placating to idiots who "feel" x coach or AD is "slimy" and therefore never even attempt to get people who would have had our programs and department rolling for years now.
Now Dolson has tied us to more bad, stupid coaches by allowing Carey and Fuente. It never ends. Just more wasted money and time.
