Currently, the key to an enjoyable basketball season is a long football season.😁😭
lol. I wonder where he gets his Pete Yonkman info from. It seems to be a bit much.
Story I have read is that he is a friend of John Tyson who made funding commitments to the University if Calipari was hired.
It's rarely good when donors get involved with coach hiring/firing decisions. They are not good at it. The rule applies to all schools, not just IU.
I think he might. 8 years working with RMK.
I don't doubt that he'd give IU a listen. Thing is, no way Pam Whitten lets that happen. Not wanting to start the did he or didn't he debate. Pam wouldn't like the look. Texas didn't like the look.
Yea. As much as I want the AD selecting the coach, one thing Pam and the trustees should be reviewing is headline/reputation risk to the university. That is an important part of their jobs. I’m not debating Beard either.
Too late we lost Dusty May. I honestly think he would’ve been the perfect coach for IU at this time. He would’ve cleaned up in recruiting this state and he coaches a style that top players would love to play in. Huge, huge loss.
Last year....late in the season when the team was bubble-icious and sliding......Woodson told everybody that he was coming back this season...and that was that. Lets see if he comes out with that kind of statement again this year. If he does....he will be back in 26. It seems that what he says goes.
Never said they fired him. Said he was gone after two double digit loss seasons even after everything he did there.
Can’t help what it sounded like. It was made pretty clear at the time UK was ready to move on. Although they did their best to make it sound like it was all mutual. Cal probably negotiated a payout so his ego didn’t have to deal with being fired.
These butthole posters that come off like the cool kids clique in high school must be overcompensating for what they actually were (are) in high school. They were (are) the ones with the Kick Me signs on their back.

The problem isn't that IU is dicking around.....the problem is that IU is getting dicked around......without the common courtesy of a reach-around. If this clown isn't gone after this season.......For my health, happiness and well-being....I will be.
Wasn't that Fox's rationale for making him a broadcaster? He sucks balls callng games..just terrible.
I don’t know but Romo has been super bad for CBS. For a while it seemed he didn’t know which teams were playing until some time during the first quarter. I don’t think either of them are the sharpest knife in the drawer. Brady has a tiny smidgen of the personalities of the Mannings particularly Peyton.
You don't have to be if you can throw a football accurately. And no I'm not calling all quarterbacks dumb. But some of them are.
In a moment of self honesty they realize how badly they effed this up and worry if it happens again the hoi polloi fans will be out with pitchforks.
There is considerable attention discussing the disfunctional manner Woodson became coach and the adage is that the best disinfectant is sunlight. These people want to be seen as doing good (rightly or wrongly seen as doing good) so countless fans calling out their foolishness isn’t preferred.

He's not in my top 5 either. I don't think there's a stomach for another roll of the dice though.
I know of what I speak on this specific matter......Mr. Sassy Pants.
I agree. Archie, Chris Mack and Chris Holtmann were the big 3 coaches looking to step up at that time when hired by IU, Louisville and OSU, respectively. The national media praised the larger schools for each hire.
What's tough is that Brad Underwood came to Illinois at that same time. I wonder if anyone at IU gave any thought to him.
Surfboard Fred was in charge back then. He couldn’t hire a good football or basketball coach to save his life.
Underwood is a good guy. I've enjoyed him in interviews with.....Some guy named Dan who is on the radio. Not sure of his last name.
Yeah, I was actually really happy with the Archie hire. Now in hindsight, I just wonder if anyone even thought about Underwood.
