He would have been gone if one of those jobs opened up earlier, but the Crean firing was no surprise. I knew it was coming a for over a year (barring a miracle) so I am sure AM did. I don't believe he was waiting for OSU. Now if it had come open, and Indiana was solid with their coach, yes, he probably would have taken it. Basketball is king at Indiana and that matters to AM. Someone at my table at his Monday night radio show went up to him during a commercial break and asked why he didn't consider the Florida job. His answer, "too much football".
