Many Thanks to Scott Dolson

Give the President some credit too. I remember reading she was heavily involved in it.
Yes Dolson and Whitten are playing with house money.
Then he wouldn’t have got cig. Look at twitter today, the entire country is talking about IU football. Scott hired the best coach IU has ever had it looks like.
You should gladly take an extra three years of loving each other for this. Sure looks like something special that a brewing in btown.
Real question is does he die or get caught looking like diddy first? IU can’t have nice things.
Coming off two good seasons and bowl games? Yea right.
The extension was reasonable, only thing one could question in the extension is the buyouts were a bit much.

I credited Whitten during last season saying IF they released Allen, she'd be the force required to see it done. And I thought there was a good chance.
But she credited Dolson for handling the search and many other things. Seems I was wrong about him. (I hated that huge buyout extension for Tom Allen. Reminds me now of the Bears trading up so no other team could leap them for Mitch Trubisky. )
Good job Scott!

Allen wasn’t the reason for the two good seasons. He was in over his head. Him and Crean would make better cheerleaders than Coaches.
Saw him in Pasadena and thanked him for hiring CCC. At the walk yesterday my wife and I saw him again, stressed to him how thankful we were that he hired CCC again. I got the feeling he was hearing a lot of accolades from the fans. Go Hoosiers!
I remember first time hearing Coach Cignetti...on one of those game day shows at JMU, and I said to myself that he would be a guy who could make things happen. Unreal that he's leading our program and anyone who played a part has my utmost gratitide.
I've been attending games since 1976 and as I get older, this just feels surreal...'all aboard ah ha ah ha'
Get your tickets to as many games as you can folks, get in the stadium well before kickoff, and stay afterward to enjoy the wins with the team and other fans.

in hindsight, it's insane we had DeBoer, Wommack, competent Sheridan on our staff. at IU. crazy
I remember when she was hired/assumed her post that several articles noted her interest (dare say passion) in football.
Although I used to complain about him all the time, in retrospect I don't have any issues with Crean anymore. He did better than the guys who came after him. Woodson is still working on getting to the top half of the Big Ten. Allen on the other hand started with a bowl team.
But neither Crean nor Allen had the resources to work with or admin support that the current coaches have. It wouldn't have taken Crean all those years to put a team together if you could pay transfers and there was no rule about sitting out a year.
Cig is looking like the best hire in a very long time but what he's doing this year wouldn't be possible before NIL rules or all the NIL $ he had to work with, IMO. He would end up being successful but it would take more time.
And don’t forget Saban took our whole strength/nutrition room. It’s insane how many ex-IU staff is at Bama.
The same was said about Herbert, and he's the reason we hired Samson.
I think what Whitten has done is give Dolson a free hand to do what he's needed to do and done whatever she can to assure he's got the resources necessary.
