@arioznahoosier4554 yep! Could have hired 10 or more guys better than Woodson!
the problem was all we ever heard about was how you had to hire an iu guy and finally quinn saw his chance.
And the IU guy nonsense was always code for Alford. No one in a million years thought they'd be dumb enough to hire Woodson.
A fairly large and very influential group of former players wanted Woodson after Buckner and a few others pushed out Crean. Glass dug his grave when he blew off MW by not even returning his calls or those of players.
@dbmhoosier And it wasn't "everybody" plenty of people rejected the idea that an "IU guy" or Alford specifically was the answer.
Joe Hillman screamed and yelled about hiring an IU guy for years but my guess is I think he thought it would be alford not a horrible coach who had never coached college. I cannot even imagine how awful woodson would have been in NIL did not exist.
Woodson was to coaching what Robert Olson is to message board posting
@dbmhoosier Bingo! Alford -Maaaaaybe Whitman, were the only 2 IU guys remotely capable of coaching IU, Alford may have worked, much like painter, IZF he would have been hired shortly after RMK. No other IU guys are/were qualified for this job.
Alford’s fate was sealed years ago, and Wittman didn’t want it.

Aside from Frank and now May, what "IU guy" besides Alford (meh) could even be considered a viable IUBB coaching candidate? I can't think of a single one.

I don't disagree. The time to hire Alford was in 2001.
Nothing in Alford's coaching history suggests he is an elite coach or was ever the guy IU "needed." And he would have been even harder to fire than Woodson.

You obviously weren’t aware of what went on, which isn’t surprising, but that’s what happened.
