tdhoosier Posted December 1, 2023 Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 (edited) I was just watching his interview on B1G Today from Lucas Oil. They were talking about the drive between Bloomington and Indianapolis and he said something like that he had to find his way up to Indy because he’ll be there next year to play in the B1G championship game. Haha. Edited December 1, 2023 by tdhoosier 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no reason to have an adversarial relationship from academia to athletics....and specifically football and how many programs (both sports and academics) that it funds. We have a lady that gets it. Better than the 3-4 previous Presidents. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not a football coach like @btownqb and others so I’m not claiming expertise as a coach. But after watching football for over 45 years, I agree with every word out his mouth about coaching. Player development. Giving them a mindset. How much will he win? I’m not claiming I have any idea but I will say I agree with how he’s approaching it. He’s maybe a bit brash, but we need that. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btownqb Posted December 1, 2023 Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 Our quickest route to success, and imo, the route that sustains that success the longest has nothing to do with 4+5 star recruits, it never has. The transfer portal, recognizing HS kids that fit what we need and can be developed, along with never being low on foot speed... is our path. Maybe we do grab some high end recruits, eventually, but thats not what is going to drive this thing. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't remember who said it earlier but what if we just found our diamond in the rough? Initial impressions suggest yes. Of course thanks to Yonkman and Cook we need to cover the other part which is NIL $. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btownqb Posted December 1, 2023 Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 Coach brought up a great point... we lost 5 games by one score or less. PSU was 9pts, but I'm counting it. We can all clearly see how close we were in that game. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it’s about player development and putting kids in the nfl. Schools are known for getting lineman drafted, or WRs, or defensive backs etc….we need to show success in placing kids in the nfl and that will bring higher level recruits in…and hopefully that combined with the development will lead to more wins. Shouldn’t matter if the kid starts as a 3* or 5*…nfl scouts just want to see the end result. Edited December 1, 2023 by dgambill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to post something quite similar. He's no-nonsense with a hint of hard-ass. These are good traits for a football coach, IMO. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A least get that stuff tailored to fit. Beyond that, I am in! Leaving close to the river as I do, tailored suits mean John Calipari, and formerly Rick Pitino. No thanks. I'll take rumpled and outdated. Edited December 1, 2023 by 5fouls 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
