IU new coach

I absolutely do not care one ish about anything The Who’syour sports program but I think this was a good hire. Even though he is older than I am, and I getting old, he’s proven. The who’syours should be pretty happy. Especially with that price tag hire. By the way… Indiana still sucks!
 
Why do you think Syracuse? They are very close to talent rich New York city. Just curious your take on them?
Even if there was a lot of talent in NYC (There's not), Syracuse is 4 hours away. They would go to multiple other schools before them.
 
Man, that's pretty low profile if you ask me.
Indiana is pretty low profile FB school and to be honest we would be looking around the same kind of coach if we had to replace Stoops. Probably a tier higher just because of recent success and being SEC + the pay.
 
Indiana in the Big 10, Syracuse in the ACC, Vandy in the SEC are hopeless situations after the latest expansions
I read an interesting article the other day. With schools like Florida State and Clemson wanting a larger share of revenue of the Football deals, what’s left for some schools after expansion is done and dried up? Conferences can only hold so many teams and the SEC/Big12/B1G are about to reach the upper limit. What’s the only way to increase each schools share after that happens? To kick out the worst preforming teams, or those teams who don’t invest in Football like the other big dogs. That’s a scary thought for schools like IU/UK. I know we are a founding member but we better keep trying and investing.

Gotta have little dogs to make the big dogs look good. We're a charter member and in no danger of ever being kicked out imo.

Very good hire. Dude has 10 years of HC experience, and no losing seasons, albeit in lower ranks of football but still.

Nice little assistant resume with NC ST during Phillip Rivers time and a few years at Bama under Saban where he recruited and coached some elite household names.

There are a lot of good coaches in the mid-major/G5, and lower division ranks and I'm surprised more schools don't hire these types of guys with years of coaching experience and winning records.
