Mike Woodson wants yes men. That’s not Fife. The dude lasted 10 years with a hall of famer at MSU but can only last 1 with Woodson.

It was known that he and Izzo butted heads at times. That said Izzo didn’t want yes men and knows that it’s okay for assistants to have different opinions. Izzo also would listen to those same assistants so things didn’t always fall on deaf ears.

Michael Lewis is the favorite

So Fife got shown the door. This keeps getting better

If heard he’s enjoying retirement and has several other things going on. That’s why he was a consultant and Woody already listens to him over his assistants anyway

This isn’t good and it’s starting to look like Woody wants yes men on staff that just do what he says.

Doubt it

Someone on Peegs said Fife is closing on a house in their neighborhood so they aren’t buying it.

Possible but these situations are typically more complex than that.

Greater job security and not near the pressure after following Donovan at Florida.

Rabby is dropping cryptic hints and hyping this up more than he has with any recruit in recent memory.

All I know is Woody is going to have some hard conversations this week with some folks and there could be a players or 2 decide to leave on their own.

The key is to draft a QB to develop behind him. There’s zero chance this causes years of rebuilding when that’s what they’ve been doing. He was the best option.

Sounds like Matt Ryan is going to be the guy in Indy

Hurst, Uzomah, Engram, and Hooper all could have been additions to the TE room. WR would be a little trickier.

There in lies the problem. They moved on from a QB without a plan as to how to move forward with adding offensive weapons and getting an upgrade at the QB position. It looks as though a decision was made without a plan for the most important position in the sport. I get Wentz wasn’t the answer but at some point you have to have a real plan. There have also been a few other contracts that have been signed by receivers and tight ends that were reasonable.

I just want Ballard to improve the skill positions. There have been several sign on reasonable deals and it feels like he hasn’t tried on any of them. As for the QB situation it’s just a theory until he actually gets something done.

I think the Colts still want Ryan and then to draft a QB. This is the smartest course of action to me as well if they can pull it off.

I know that. Although he is frustrating. There’s zero chance he thinks Luck is ever coming back.

There is interest in Ya going with Payne to U of L. That’s what’s not an assumption. There’s still a chance he won’t but the discussions will take place between the two sides.

More than an assumption. Payne is who Ya considers his mentor in coaching and they go way back. Ya wouldn’t be at IU if it wasn’t for Payne.

Some of it was stuff added because of Whitman. That’s a fact.

He has Woodson’s ear on a lot of things. When the offense got more movement late in the year that was Whitman’s doing as were some sets and other wrinkles that were put in on offense. He just doesn’t want to do the day to day stuff or he’d already have day to day role.

If Ya leaves then the first name I’d look at would be promoting Brian Walsh.
