With the amount of money that athletic department makes, they should be better. Holtmann couldn't ever get past the 2nd round. Will they bring back Thad Matta?
I think they go after Dusty May from FAU, but Oates could get the first call.
I assumed Holtmann would be shown the door at the end of the season, but canning him now is a bit surprising.
Miller and Oates are the top 2 by far.
Mac should not have made up the story that he was offered the job and turned them down a few years back, he will not be in the mix unless they have a new AD???
Porter HATES norman and wants back to that midwest area sooooo bad. Dude will even work around his buyout.
I wonder if they did it now to get out ahead of the Oates sweepstakes.
Michigan is canning Howard and their first choice would be Oates. Dude is from that area I think.
Does May have some weird ties to Indiana? There seems to be talk of him ending up there.
In the end. I think the Hoosier can Woodson and give Chris Beard a blank check.
McDermott turned them down last time, when it was a more attractive job. He isn't leaving Creighton.
May? I did not know that.
Lord knows those incestuous hoosier fans NEED that connection back to Knight.
yep.
he's from indiana and went to IU. was a student manager for 4 years.
can't imagine a fanbase wanting to hire someone connected to their most legendary coach.
They NEED it, they don't just want it. Their NIL is huge and will only get bigger with a tie to Knight.
But their coaching search was soooo. botched last time that for them it would have to be May or Beard this time. I know Woodson played for Knight but he was an NBA dude.
1st question - how is Matta's health? I know his health was suffering when OSU parted ways with him 7 or 8 years ago. Seems to have it rolling again at Butler
yea. really cannot imagine a fanbase needing something like that.
unrelated - I wonder if Knight would be breaking down film for the staff if were still alive?
Man, he hated IU so much after he left...I could see him breaking the TV's in the film room...does that count?
He did seem to soften a bit at the end.
still wracking my brain to understand what could possibly drive an entire fanbase to yearn for any and all connected to their most legendary coach
so weird!
Don't think it will happen, but it would be crazy if OSU poached Mick Cronin right after pulling Chip Kelly from the Bruins' football program. Wouldn't exactly make for a grand entrance to the Big Ten for UCLA Athletics.
I read an article on their NIL foundations-groups and it's staggering especially with their fan donations. I believe one of their NIL groups - called The Foundation - raised over $1 million in just one week solely from fan donations and it's just one of a few NIL organizations. Those whackos are ate up with their Buckeyes
That;s right....Knight only got part way...shot a man, strangled another...
Where did you get the whole Mac thing? He was definitely up for the job and Mac was definitely a better choice than Holtmann so how far fetched could it have been that he was offered the job.
