    If you are inferring our flirting with Chip, he was washed out as an NFL HC (perhaps a lesser version of Jon Gruden) but as far as I know, his success (while enhanced and nurtured with Microsoft - or was it Oracle? - money) was about football acumen (at least on the offensive side) and not because he had a strategic advantage in player personnel. That game would be in the area of Smart and Swinney.

    And to my point, he is (was?) the OC for the 2024 season NC team. Can you see Cal or Self or Wade going back to being a second (or third) fiddle on a quality team? Highly unlikely.

    I want Alexis to succeed, but the Big 10 is a physical conference, so from that aspect ... interesting choice by the kid

    This all feels like the aftermath of a Superbowl win. The vultures are out to scoop up all the loose pieces. I guess Golden should be flattered.

    I think Alexis will do just fine at Indiana, and this seems like a good move for both.
    He was a solid contributor in our regulation until he got hurt and then was supplanted by Handlogten. Our frontcourt, if Condon and Chins return (which they will}, is loaded for next season, and Sam would again probably be outside the regular rotation. IU is trying to rebuild and can put him to work right away.
