Who cares. IU has never been a stepping stone job. If Hart or anyone else got hired by a better program that likely means they had success and would be leaving the program in a better state than they found it. That's a win in my book for this program.
I'm starting to like the idea of Frye. He's a former Hoosier that's been an OC at UCLA and an Associate Head Coach at Ohio State. He's already got alumni support and would help to keep IU from going through OL struggles that we've seen in the recent past.
I don't think that's a holdup. I also think Dolson is doing a legitimate search and not just going with the flashy resume. Talk to a lot of people and find the best possible fit.
