Sigh...  Been a rough search to say the least.

I find the fact that he looked into it to be encouraging.

I think the opposite. Guys like Rice and Becker are looking at this job and thinking while it would be a large step up in pay and quality of league, the risk may just still outweigh the reward.

LMakes me wonder exactly what we are offering. We are obviously not blowing these guys away to the point where they are willing to buy into the "change in commitment" to this program.

It would be a step up for these coaches , and they seem to be looking at it as a quasi-lateral move. That is what is starting to worry me.

I just got a mobile notification from Bleacher Report = 'Duquesne in 'advanced talks' with Michigan St asst. Dane Fife regarding Hc job (CBS sports)'

Parrish is a legit source. I could definitely be on board with this hire. Former high level player, who became a head coach at a young age, and then got tutored under a great coach like izzo.

It is nice that Mr. Harper is looking at Current Division I coaches and former players who were "very good" when they played.  They bring competitiveness, understanding, and an edge.  With the current Indiana head coach being "gone" this could be a good time for Coach Fife to make a move.  He would have great support from the University and I guarantee you he would be much, much, much, much, better than Jim Ferry.  If he ends up at Duquesne, I hope he can keep any guys that "HE WANTS" to keep.

Not to mention the positive press Tom Izzo will give the hire.

Here's a link from an IU outlet:

Based on this article and a bunch of other stuff I've read from IU fans there were people that wanted this kid at least to be interviewed for the Indiana job and some people flat out saying this was who they wanted. Star in the making?

Dane Fife to Duquesne is sounding almost done according to Twitter?

Michigan State assistant Dane Fife is not going to Duquesne, sources told ESPN.

That was quick.

how is one person saying one thing and another saying the complete opposite?  I know journalism isnt what it used to be, but goodNESS!  I can hardly wait for the next Notre Dame football search(long time ND football fan), we were fooled into thinking it was John Gruden, then Urban Meyer, and a bunch of others, to only get Chuck Weis and Brian Kelly.  

Why do I keep looking at the car crash when I know the carnage that is there?
