    There's no doubt he's a brilliant football mind...

    But the compromising emails didn't just contain slurs... He was in a group that passed photos of topless women, including some of the Washington cheerleaders around...

    We can say "boys will be boys" all we want, but I'd think something like that would be off-putting to any college president...

    I like boobies.

    For sure, there are 2 things that happened at Indiana that took us from the top of the mountain down to the bottom.  First, the landscape shifted massively out from under our HOF coach.  We had a way that we did things here and what we didn't do was what Kansas and Kentucky and Duke and UNC were all too happy to do.  Then after we fired the coach who could still cobble together some success without having the best of the best, we hired guys that couldn't...or we hired guys who did the things we felt we were above and we canned him.

    We have a ton of ground to make up.  A ton.  However, that ground is now easier to make up because Kansas, Kentucky, Duke and UNC aren't the only ones who can say "We have history, a rabid fanbase, exposure, and most importantly lots and lots of MONEY to throw your way," anymore.

    5 years ago we aren't even talking about this kid.  He wouldn't have given us a second look.  Now that we can play the game, Adidas is suddenly starting to actually help us out.  They helped us get money in TJD and JHS's pockets.  Both those guys are screaming how awesome it is at IU now and are likely to be drafted next month.  This job is much more attractive the next go around because Indiana is actually using its resources and playing the game now.  Mgbako may or may not come but we are putting ourselves out there to start making up the ground.

     

    All of those things are Indianas fault. Amateur hour every step of the way. Embarrassing. 

    Kansas, UK, Duke and UNC fans have been laughing at us for 25 years.

    Like who, did Duke or UNC hire a big name with street cred. Really good coaches are not leaving really good jobs for other top jobs anymore 

    Duke and UNC have not allowed their brands to sink to the level of Indiana. I know that sounds bad but it is reality. They were in the final four one year ago.

    They also replaced legends with hand picked replacements. If they don't work out, I would imagine they would make a splash with the next hire.
