As 76-1 noted in another thread, we are one of many teams in the hunt for a new OC. I'm hoping for a splashy hire, but that may not be in the cards given the competition. In any event, I have little doubt that this will be the most important decision, to date, in CTA's tenure and will have huge implications for the direction of IU football over the next several seasons. Let's keep our fingers crossed that we get this right.I would assume the search would be wrapping up,if not today maybe the next day or two.

Yep, there's something like 12 or 13 other teams out there that appear to be able to surpass whatever we may choose to offer monetarily... Makes things tough.
Also, there are still HC dominoes to fall (Temple/Troy). Not saying that IU is looking potential HC candidates for the OC position, but if an OC takes one of those positions, then its just one more team looking for an OC. Plus, among the open positions, there will likely 1 or 2 that are filled by a somewhat surprising lateral move, leaving an unexpected vacancy. Guessing that there are several OC candidates out there waiting for the dust to settle a little more to see which jobs are still open.
Canada is being considered according to the ScoopIt's a sellers market for OC&HC types out there...
He has other options though...possible NFL and a possible head spot at NIU if Carey leaves.I think its gonna be Matt Canada.
We could do worse.Canada is being considered according to the Scoop
Bobby Petrino was seen on IU golf course riding a cart around the course today...
well - it’s unseasonably warmLet me help you... You're supposed to say you saw his wife having lunch with a realtor at a restaurant just off the square...
Could we do better?

Am I the only one thinking that Harbaugh might be taking a NFL job? Gregg Mattison and Al Washington have left the staff in back to back days for OSU. That would leave a top 5 job open with several positions to fill. It just seems odd.
I spoke to someone in the athletic department this past weekend who thought he might be looking in that direction.Maybe they're just sick of losing to o$u and tired of working for Harbaugh. Could it be an indication that they think he's the problem...?
Or..., maybe they're just tired of Ann Arbor...?
///Trading one crazed, obnoxiously arrogant fan base for another...///
Your conjecture makes the most sense though...
The more this Canada thing sits the more sour it turns. If we offered him a position and he hasn't taken the job because he is waiting for NIU OR the NFL to call time to dump! Not sure of the situation and just reading what was posted on the scoop so jus sayin!
Well jmho but what it says to me is this is not what he wants. Its like you go to a job interview, and its a great position and they offer you the job, BUT you want to see if company a or b show up??? Its kinda like a f*ck you in a way. If the desire is there and the moneys right then wtf?I don't have any problem with it.
Only a fool wouldn't wait to see if a head coaching job that he wants comes open prior to committing to another job...
Would you rather have him say yes and then leave for a head coaching position two weeks later?
This will play out time-wise the way it must...

The Kliff Kingsbury situation happened but that was an odd one. He will fail miserably in Arizona. If not I will stand here and eat crow but that is a f*cking weird hire. Cmon man!
Anyways, I have no clue what has gone down but if he was offered and we are waiting on his a$$...Move on!
Look at the Colts..They offered dipwad in New England and he f*cked them around Thank God!!! They end up with a guy who wants to be here and look what he did in a year!
Get someone here that when you offer them they are thrilled and jump at the chance! jus sayin!
We are a team with a rising OL, a slew of solid running backs, experienced receivers and now a 2 year starter at QB with 2 4 star QB's in the wings...WTF is not to like?You have a seriously inflated view of where we are in the pecking order of college football at the moment...

Ohh and Edit...Newly finished facilities and another large facilities project underway.
Mel Tucker was just hired at Colorado and his first rule in hiring coaches was I want t hire guys that want to be here!
If there is a second thought you can bet your bottom dollar we won't get a full effort. Someone will just be here biding their time, screwing everyone over until something else comes along!

I fully understand that BUT Canada is out of a job...I'm sure its not his destination job BUT there are other candidates who would love an opportunity to coach at IU and play against the type of competition we play against. Thats the point I'm trying to make. For instance, our boy Werner is just a QB coach right now. He would probably love an oppty. to be an OC again at this level. Thats all I'm saying.The reality is that if we have the type of success we all dream of the chances are good the most of the staff will be hired away elsewhere. That's just the nature of college football these days. I like the fact that he's evidently being honest in his approach.
Forgot to add, ( and keep in mind I'm about as hard core an INDIANA Football fan as you'll probably ever run across), the way you and I see INDIANA (for what it can be), isn't what the rest of the football universe sees.
Trust me when I tell you that we're no ones "destination" job (outside of or own Tom Allen). Hurts me to type it but that's the truth...
The main advantage I see in him coming here is he would have his foot in the door for the HC job if Allen has a couple more sub .500 seasons.I'm sure Canada likes Indiana but you cant blame him for weighing his options. He has to make the best decision he can. We arent a place people are dying to come to. It's a good opportunity for someone. But not for everyone.
If a guy's looking for a job (in coaching or anything else), he's a fool if he doesn't carefully consider all his options before making a decision. In a job search, it's all about doing what's best for you and your family. Everything else is secondary.I fully understand that BUT Canada is out of a job...I'm sure its not his destination job BUT there are other candidates who would love an opportunity to coach at IU and play against the type of competition we play against.

Maybe Canada is like, been there, done that, OR he is a little cocky because he was an interim head coach. However, the way Maryland has been recruiting he should have won 7 or 8 games! Regardless if CTA went in there, offered him the job, and he has to think about? Move On!
Finally, this all may very well be much ado about nothing. We don't even know if Canada's been offered.

michigan's or indiana's?I spoke to someone in the athletic department this past weekend who thought he might be looking in that direction.
