Will Izzo take Dane back?
- Thread starter Tegray1
- Start date
that's an interesting take...I could see it.
It was floated somewhere on this board that Fife had worn out his welcome in East Lansing so I don't see him returning.
I think the worn out welcome at MSU was more of a guess by people making excuses for Fife’s firing.
If Matta hires Fife it will solidify the coaching Rift many believe there was.
Looks like the tweet suggesting Fife to Butler has been deleted. The person who posted said its not a done deal
possibly....not sure what to believe anymore. Will just let reality play out over the coming weeks.
I think its more that the tweet came from a college student reporter that doesn't have much experience handling/interpreting insider info at that kind of level, and just over interpreted whatever tip he got without following up
No it wasn’t. It was discussed here after MSU fans started talking about it. He was on thin ice. Remember he was the “coach” in waiting. Supposedly he was like 3rd down the bench by the end. This isn’t new.
If I was a gambler(which I’m not). I’m betting he won’t end up at either place.
I’m going to laugh if Izzo goes with Crean because he has to retire eventually. Crean would be posted up for another miracle. It would be fun to watch their fans squirm
IF all the stuff that came out is true, I doubt Matta takes him at Butler. I’m guessing he would be aware of the truth. If it was just “not a fit”, maybe it happens.
Ouch, that hurts if guess work holds true. Matta and Fife recruiting together halfway between West Laugh-he-yet and Bloomington would not make "locking down the state" any easier. It would be a stab in the back to IU, non fatal, but a long, slow recovery.
Everything that came out was pretty much BS. Who cares if Fife watches Fox News? Who cares if Fife doesn’t believe in NIL? Butler isn’t even going to be a player in NIL anyways.
It’s far more about fit than anything Fife did.
No need for you to act like you know more than you do. We all know you have limited knowledge. And if many of the things said are true, then that is part of FIT.
Regardless, will be interesting to see if he gets a sniff at either of those places. Could offer a hint.
You can’t be that obtuse. It came out that fife was grumbling about CNN being on in the locker room/player area.(wonder who blasted that info)His buddy Dakich damn near did a half a show on it. NIL is important and if you don’t think it is maybe you are that oblivious. Even the D2 and D3 kids down here are getting NIL deals.
Lol I know as much as you do. The only thing anyone knows about it is what Rabjohns reported. The points I said above were his main points.
Woodson didn’t like Fife. He had every right to fire him. He didn’t need to put out a hit piece to make himself look better.
Matta hiring Fife would point to most of the hit piece being bullshit.
Is he not entitled to his political opinions because he’s a Republican?
NIL is important at the IU level. It’s not at the Butler level (or even schools like Purdue).
I disagree. Fife does not embrace NIL and I am not sure Butler's approach to it. And I don’t think they can be as successful as IU or PU or ND with it.
And Woodson is obviously recruiting on a national scale with Bates, JHS, Newton, Cupps, Banks and offers out to several others out of state, the latest being Page.
Apparently not, because it wasn’t just Rabjohns reporting on this topic. So it seems I DO know more than you. Not something anybody should hang their hat on though, as it’s no real accomplishment…
Oh my gawd. You are that obtuse. NIL is everywhere. If it’s not important at Purdue they will get left behind.
Lol you think Purdue and Butler are signing players to big NIL deals, and you are calling me obtuse?
You will have your answer when Fife heads to work for a HOF coach.
You really are. Not going to debate you on that. What constitutes big NIL deals is debatable. Small deals make a big difference to some. It’s part of the landscape now. Talking down to it won’t get you many recruits.
And yet a HOF coach is likely about to hire him. That’s a HOF coach with direct knowledge of what went down, because he was also on staff. Yet, you know more.
Why would any team consider Fife then if he bad mouths NIL? All it really takes for a school to be successful with NIL enticements is one generous, wealthy alum who loves sports. All schools have those, big or small. Have any IU alums been receiving letters of request for player sponsorship or anything like that? They know better than to ask me.
The dumbass got on Twitter and trashed NIL. That’s not debatable. He removed after his boss told him to. Did he not understand who he was working for?
IDK. You'll need ask the coach or school that hires him. As for wealthy alums, you are correct in that all schools have them but IU, PU, and ND have more. Plus all 3 of those schools will get more national attention.
I am sure Matta and Fife could do well. I just don't fear them in recruiting as you seemed to suggest.
