If Dolson has a coach that is a sure bet in his back pocket then maybe I’m board. But I doubt this would be the case. If he fires Woody and conducts a coaching search, it’ll be over before it starts. We’ve been down this road before and not much has changed to make our job more attractive. If anything, it’s become more demanding. Add on top of that we just fired a coach - one of our own - after only 3 years that got us to the tournament twice. It doesn’t exactly scream job security. Is a coach want to up root his family and leave a good thing for this meat grinder?
Also, this administration is not hiring Beard or Pearl. I keep hearing these names, but I just don’t think it’s realistic. The only thing they are at this point are fun names to say.
Both have too much baggage and we’ve proven not to hire coaches with baggage. Plus, I’ve heard rumblings that Beard said no to us before his scandal (rumor). I’ve also heard that Pearl is and has been very fond of the IU job, but our admin is not interested.
