Jeremy, they wouldn't look stupid because it was Myles Brand that fired Knight against the wishes of the fans, trustees, and many in the administration. As an IU fan, it would be nice to see Knight back - but only as a temporary replacement with an assistant to groom for the job. Most in IU country want the chasm between IU and Knight to be bridged, and this may be a long shot way to do it.
Names I am hearing the most on premium IU boards are Bennet, Drew, Brownell, and Pearl.
