I think Geronimo is the guy many are forgetting about. Wouldn't be shocked at all if he makes an OG type leap next year

I can't disagree with those facts, but literally everyone is playing in the corruption/grey area, and they're winning championships every year in basketball and football. For god's sake, Scott Drew just won a title coaching in Waco. You have to play this game to roll with the big dogs. Duke bball and Bama football don't give a rat's behind about the NCAAs nonsense. They work the system as much as possible, win title after title and become legendary programs/coaches. The holier than thou routine of our fan base is comical and so out of touch with modern athletics. Also, I would hope Yasir is going to be extra careful after being named in the FBI probe. I could be 100% wrong and will have egg on my face, but I highly doubt Woodson brings on a liability. Yasir seems to be a great guy to have on board when NIL explodes. After listening to him I think he has a great grasp on how to successfully build your "brand". Trust me, I hate saying brand but that's where this train is headed.

Your posts would say that you care about it. Again, how about we just give this guy a chance before sh1tting all over the hire.

You guys getting mad about this are hilarious. He was cleared of wrongdoing, he has connections, he's young, and from his podcasts sounds like he would connect really well with recruits and understands the game of recruiting. I'm glad to have Yasir on board.

How about we just give this guy a chance.

I'm assuming the cigar guy was one of the hysterics. I understand their shtick just don't find it entertaining and kind of annoying.

Not surprised kids don't pay attention to the coaches in the NBA, its all about the players. Put together a good staff, start winning, and they will come to Bloomington.

First off, I've come around to this hire and think he will do all right. It seems to me like this was orchestrated by the big money. They wanted Stevens and if that didn't happen they wanted an IU guy. I think Dolson got put between a rock and a hard place and was steered to hire Woody once Stevens said no. Dolson recognized the issues with the hire and got Matta involved to help steer the ship and prevent this from being a suez type disaster. Not the best scenario, but with the right guys around Woody this just might work. So I don't think it was fear of rejection, but more you need to hire option B if A doesn't pan out.

Surprised we haven't heard any news on this front yet. This staff needs to be world class. Anyone hearing anything outside of Larry Brown? Keeping previous staff members to appease current players is not forward thinking. I feel bad for those guys, but we can't screw this up again. Maybe its just me wanting to purge all things associated with Archie.

Seems like most of the fanbase is coming around to this hire.

I know what happened in the past, IU ended his college career in 2002. As others have said his wife and in laws are IU grads so i think its more of a joke at this point.
