KoB2011 Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 I think it's pretty obvious, Fred Glass needs to be done. Our two revenue programs are garbage, both coaches should be in a pivotal year for their tenure next year and Fred Glass does not deserve the chance to 1) decide the fate of either coach and 2) hire a potential replacement for either coach. If Glass doesn't go now, he will be in position to make those decisions about potentially two coaches before he is let go. Or if he is let go at the same time, you have to find a new AD before a coach and you're new AD is behind the 8 ball on their first hire. Glass has been a nice guy and done a lot for our facilities, but our two most important programs have sucked under his watch. #firefred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iuthruandthru Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 I have not been a fan of Fred for a while. His career is tied to Miller and Allen’s success or lack there of I would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArchieBall13 Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 Honestly, assuming we couldn't have landed a "big fish" I thought he made the correct bball coaching hire at the time. If we need to go through the couching carousel again, I'd imagine we would land an even smaller fish than Archie unless we throw a boatload of money at somebody.

Long Duk Dong Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 They should have pursued Donovan like Alabama pursued Saban. At some point you have to stop messing around and go loaded for bear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New scoreboards for Swimming. Improved game day environment at Memorial Stadium. Hired a quality coach for baseball, when the other great BB coach left for what he thought were greener pastures. Elevated men's and women's swimming to national stature once again. Continues to keep IU soccer on top of the nation. Able to solicit funds from alumni for major facility improvements in numerous venues. Not to mention keeping the entire IU Athletic program in the black... something his predecessor failed to do.
