Good for them and congratulations to Casey. Well deserved!

That's what a friend told me who frequents another IU site.

Players entering the portal doesn’t say they know who the next coach is going to be. With a coaching change players entering was inevitable. Heck with the end of the season players entering was inevitable.

So the guy who owns suite 4 knows but nobody else does and it hasn’t leaked anywhere else? He leaked it to you but none of the players have? I’m not buying it.

That’s exactly what I was wondering. Thanks.

I get this was announced but I wonder how many days ago they were contacted and hired??

I don't know that they were when Meyer was hired. They weren't part of the Pac-10/12 until after he was hired. They had one Mountain West championships in the 90s and one WAC championship before Meyer was hired and then you have to go back to the 60s. I know IUs history well, but when Utah hired Meyer I would not say that they were a better program. Meyer put them on the map. But yes, we screwed the pooch on not giving him a chance. Was that Donninger? (sp?)

I think this may have been true of past administrations but I’m not convinced this is true of this one. We just made a big investment to fire a coach. There are rumors of a major facility project coming. We gave Allen a major pay upgrade after arguably the two greatest seasons in two generations and we have paid assistants more than ever before. We have a new president. Let’s see how this all plays out.

Ok. That last sentence made me laugh!!

I think people are spitballing. There are just too many names and rumors flying around today.

Had their best finish since ‘08 (T6th). 11 wins in the Big Ten which is the most since ‘99. But did not make the NCAA tournament. First Big Ten team out. Lots to be proud of with the season.

Then we are in trouble.

Well whoever the new coach is will have to go shopping for a new QB.

I don’t see Chryst as offensive minded. To me he comes from the old days of the Big Ten where you run it every first and second down. I just have concerns that that can work here.

IU tied ND 1-1 back on Aug. 24 at ND.

Right, so at ND it will be.

This is the guy I want. He’s building a program and his ability to recruit northern Virginia (I’m assuming he can) could be a bonus. And his teams score.

Take out 6A since there aren’t any private schools in 6A except when Cathedral gets bumped up. It’s still an issue. I don’t think it’s any more or less an issue than it has been however. But public schools will always dislike private schools.

IU will be at 2 seed Notre Dame next, correct?

What are the odds that all of these initial rumors turn out to be false? Seems like that happens a lot with coaching changes.

Hoosiers win!!

Ok I’ll ask. If I’m the idiot so be it. Yes PF had some great years at NW of all places. But his last, what, 3 years (maybe just 2) were also awful. Arguably as bad as what we just went through. What gets some of you so interested in him?

I really like the idea of Cignetti.

FWIW, Chris on the banners site thinks it will be Jason Candle.

Halftime up 1-0!
