I do wonder if this team makes the tournament it scares away coaching candidates who see IU firing Woodson after qualifying for the tournament in three out of four seasons and think the university has too high of a standard.
When IU fired Allen it was after three straight horrible seasons, not three bowl games in four years.

It might be best to nip this unwarranted paranoia in the bud stage before blossoming into an invasive species of unwanted desire.
Qualifying -- barely. On the bubble twice, squeeked in as a 12-seed "first four" play-in team and a 15 seed. Didn't make it out of the first weekend. Those don't equate to "bowl-game" seasons for me, but I guess technically it's post-season. I think any coach we'd want to have would look at those results at a school like Indiana and think with that program history and resources, he could do better.
We want to scare away those candidates anyway.
Any good coach will grab it with the terms and buyouts Dolson hands out like candy.

Any good coach will understand Woody did a poor job with a lot of resources, and they will assume they will do much, much better. Scott could also tell any worried candidates all the behind the scenes Woody horror stories that contributed to his termination.
I’m not worried about scaring off candidates. I am worried about how hard it is to get a coach to change jobs, but I think we will figure something out.

That idiot wore me out in the first 5 minutes of the game. Admitted he hadn’t seen IU play. Claimed he went to the Washington team dinner “we put on” the night before. Had a severe bromance with Sprinkles or whatever that genius coach’s name was. And had the audacity to make fun of the candy stripes. “Can’t believe they are still wearing those!” Total jackass.
That would be a mistake. Who would want to work for a boss that would bad mouth an employee and share privileged info?
If a candidate was worried Scott could explain it diplomatically in high level terms in 60 seconds and it wouldn’t be an issue. It’s common for candidates taking any job to ask what happened with the previous guy.
No he hasn’t. Did you watch him let a 20 point lead be cut in half with two bigs, Rice, Carlyle and MM on court?
You just let the older adults on here set the standard.
Anybody who watched IU in its prime under Knight, they get to set the expectation level.
This ain’t it.
This excitement over sweating it out to be the last 4 in, that isn’t acceptable. Woody tried to tell us last year was “a good year.”
This is a primary reason he hasn’t been any good. He’s been willing to settle for just barely scraping by every season and then calling it good. The head coach sets the expectations.
