Man, if she would have hired someone else without asking DeVries first, I think her fans and maybe boosters would have rioted. She was cornered in hiring DeVries, whether she liked it or not.
Now, thanks to Indiana, she can run an open search and hire the best person she sees fit. I think this is actually better for her. DeVries’s is a good coach but he’s not the only one out there, as evidenced by what Drake is doing this year without him.
The bottom line is that there is no one else available to revive them from a fan/NIL standpoint.
