Naturalhoosier Posted November 27, 2023 Report Share Posted November 27, 2023 What about Tom Herman. I saw that name mentioned on BTB. That wouldn't be a bad grab IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU247 Posted November 27, 2023 Report Share Posted November 27, 2023 I am tempted to start a rumor of BB resigning from the pats to take the IU job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSaccamanno Posted November 27, 2023 Report Share Posted November 27, 2023 (edited) I’ve always been a huge Gruden fan (before what happened) and enjoyed his IU ties. The issue is how on earth does he recruit in urban areas with what he’s said? He can say he was just talking #%%* but that may be a bridge too far to many recruits. He can say he’s not an actual racist and what was taken was private conversations so there’s a BS component to it. But it may just be too big of a problem with recruits.

There are just too many names and rumors flying around today. It’s clear to me what’s going on. There have been a handful of people that have gotten contacted. IU is in the process of narrowing things to finalize whoever their top candidate is sooner rather than later. If they don’t get things done with that person they’ll move on to another target. What has also been verified is who isn’t in contention and that’s everyone that Feldman mentioned lol Edited November 27, 2023 by DC2345 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m also assuming Fitz has to be approved by the President before interviewing. Which also could be taking time. Would you say IU has had someone tell them yes but Isn’t IU’s 1A or 1B. “Fallback plan.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think with discussions still on going it’s hard to say who the #1 target is because I’ve heard 3 or 4 different names today alone. I think we’ll know more in 2-3 days.

BobSaccamanno Posted November 27, 2023 Report Share Posted November 27, 2023 I want someone with energy for IU who sees what we can become. Not somebody you have to beg to think about us. Sure, have questions and discussions about what we need to commit to —that’s actually a positive because it reflects a plan and strategy— but show energy and enthusiasm. It’s like the girl who you ask out or date who is exceptionally complicated and who overplays her hand because she thinks a billionaire is coming for her. Pass. You want the coach (girl in my analogy) who is enthusiastic for you and what you can become. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobSaccamanno Posted November 27, 2023 Report Share Posted November 27, 2023 The Boca Raton flight is interesting because that’s exactly where FAU is. Not nearby. The exact town. On the other hand, it could be a family who spent the holiday weekend in South Florida lol. Not unheard of for a Thanksgiving weekend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fkfootball Posted November 27, 2023 Report Share Posted November 27, 2023 These national writers have absolutely 0 knowledge of what's going on at IU. The reason they keep throwing out these "mid" candidates like Shepard, Wommack, Frye, Randle El, is because they think very little of us and expect us to make a risky, gamble hire on someone that isn't proven. Look at A&M. They were all saying they'd land Swinney, Day, or someone big. Apparently they weren't plugged in there either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fkfootball Posted November 27, 2023 Report Share Posted November 27, 2023 Whether it's; Candle Chryst Fitzgerald Herman Creighton Fritz Cignetti I don't care. Hire a proven HEAD coach. No coordinators. No NFL position coaches. I am tired of gambling. Get a guy who has proven he can get the job done here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get thinking ARE could be a good coach, but he has zero experience to be able to say that. if he wasn’t a good football player at IU he wouldn’t even be a candidate. I don’t think it’s that wild to prefer Chryst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of these dudes are gonna make it work at IU, most aren't even realistic. No, he's not more attractive to Indiana. Maybe to Mich State. He looks like a tree on the sideline, a tree has more personality. Edited November 27, 2023 by btownqb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I prefer a head coach with power 5 experience I think a coach from the DeBoer coaching line would be solid. If not a solid experienced coach then I would prefer a top notch OC over a MAC coach personally. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
