Worst-case scenario, how big of a hit would the loss of Steele be to X? I know unlikely, but have to wonder he will get a shot at a HC job in the near future. From my understanding, he is pretty pivotal in recruiting.

Recruiting wise it would be a hit. I don't know much of what he does from an X's and O's stand point. I'm sure someone else will chime in.

Never have understood posting on other school's boards. Read some yes, but keep your opinion to yourself. After all "It is better to be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt".

Who would we promote to Steele's position if that were the case? Luke Murray?

Would have to imagine Pegues would be next in line for that position, since he's been there since 2011. Seems like all of the assistant coaches excel at recruiting, I know Murray is currently recruiting his highest-rated prospect since he's been at X.

Oddly, Steele not even being mentioned in IndyStar potential coaches articles. He would certainly be my #1.

While I think most of us understand it's likely only a matter of time before Steele gets a head coaching gig somewhere (if he wants one), I think he'd be the obvious choice to be the next HC here should Mack decide to leave in the near future. Granted, Mack leaving anytime soon all of a sudden doesn't look very likely with IU and OSU off the board for the foreseeable future.
My point being that if Steele interviews for, and gets the Butler job, there goes almost any chance of him coming back here as HC. If Steele were to leave for a HC position, I'd much rather it be in the MAC or Horizon League in order to leave open the possibility of a return to X down the road.

Wow, he's done immediately.

I'll be curious to see if they hire an interim for a year or try to replace him before this next season.

Again why are you here? you lost your bet you made

This whole thing was just a year late I guess huh?

Casulafan hasnt been on in a while did he take the ban after missing winning the bet by one year?
