Who can forget when he "quietly" wheeled that poor, sick individual into his postgame press conference. It's a wonder the media ever heard of it.

What a phony.

If OG Anunoby stays healthy, Crean is probably still HC at Indiana. They were a projected 7-seed when he was injured. Then they lost 8 of 11. He did a bit of everything for them and covered a lot of warts. I think a bid would've bought him another year.

But Crean says he's not a failure. It's unclear who "we" is in his mind unless he's blaming his wife. *remembers she's a Harbaugh* Continue, Tommy:

When you are a royal a$$hole,  you get to use the royal we.

If he is so obsessed with being properly aligned, I suggest TC look into the opening at New Zealand College of Chiropractic.

I'm starting to see why our US News ranking has stayed rather stagent and the inaugural WSJ rankings had us so low every time I read posts like this.

"He could have shown up for the meeting, looked athletic director Fred Glass in the eye, dared him to pull the trigger, and accepted the news like a man."

Man there are dumb arguments written by dumb sportswriters all the time, but this is really stupid.  Criticizing the guy for not going to a meeting when you know they are going to fire you?

So that's why the administration found out Crean was leaving until it was on the news.  Crean wanted to spare them the embarrassment.

I disagree.  Man up and show up for a meeting with the employer that's paid you very handsomely. Sign off on your COBRA benefits, turn in your key card and walk away with dignity intact.

He suspected he was going to be fired; I wouldn't say he knew he was going to get fired.  Maybe that's what the writing says on the wall, but he isn't a cashier at Wendy's.  Act like a professional and show up for the damn meeting... mostly because if word gets out that you blew it off, it's not going to help your chances with potential future employers.

AD's put up with egos all the time provided that they will occasionally be checked at the door when the situation arises... apparently, Crean's ego follows him through every closed door like Tim on Jeronne.

based upon the way he left MU---one of the most classless acts I have seen in the athletic arena---I think IU should have packed his things and left him a post it note on the door saying he was fired

Or just leak it to the media without telling him.

Or send him a singing Telegram.

Ferris Bueller style!

Yeah, it reminds me of the Chicago Blackhawk coach who received a letters slipped under his door at Christmas (I think I got that Right)

Jane Wiedlin was a much better singing telegram.

Actually, he's seen it all. Or better phrased, unfortunately he's seen it all.
