The reaction to this hire is exactly why i was so against the people pushing the Stevens delusion. We just pulled a sitting power 5 head coach who had no reason to leave his current job to come to IU and people don't like it. Unreal

Too early to start the Fire DvD Thread? (just kidding).... 

DvD is a disappointing hire given that SD had all of this time and seemingly forced CMW out with someone in mind...  That said, this is massive improvement over our "coach" for the past 4 years.

Alright everyone, quote this comment with your pick for the "mystery candidate," whichever post gets the most votes is our new coach! lol

Wright

Donovan

Just as big as Stevens, not many of those.

Few? Jay Wright? 

If the "out of left field" remark/qualifier is true (and I am NOT saying it is), what about Kevin Ollie? He won a Natty and supposedly was vindicated for any alleged violations during an arbitration.  Not saying I want him; but that certainly would qualify as "out of left field" and could be perceived as a decent hire ...

Sounds like JH got "Wood(ed)" (i.e., the current version of getting "Creaned").... I wish him luck, I had high hopes for him.

I doubt Roberts would go for that as it'd be a demotion and he could get an assistant position elsewhere.
I don't get the May talk at all. Why would he leave the DOBO position at UNC (his alma mater) to go to the same position at IU? I just don't get it and will only believe it is even truly a possibility if it happens.

Who is DOBO? Roberts or May?

Franklin and Stewart play the same position.... maybe AF doesn’t want to deal with competition... 🤷‍♂️

Been lurking for a while. Finally decided to jump in. If we’re willing to wait until the end of the NBA season for Stevens - why didn’t we retain Archie until the end of the season drew closer? I get that retaining Archie would restrict our ability to pursue other collegiate coaches, but if Stevens has been the goal from day 1 the timing seems odd.

I think we will have a coach really soon, unfortunately I think it’s Moser.

Drink more Ovaltine!

Is, I changed it.  

I’m old what does TIFWIW mean

For those wanting to rekindle their hope for Stevens.  My old college roommate is a coach at IU, not basketball.  He said Brad Stevens was going to be our next coach.  It doesn’t move my needle but if any of you want to run with that, go ahead.

Not really

Peegs also just said it’s possible all the sourced information has been false to basically hide a surprise hire. The point is that he doesn’t know what’s going on.

Chronic is a great follow -- does he have good connections to the program, though?

Shaka to Marquette, which presumably means Beard to UT.... Interesting development

Good god.... I’d rather see Assembly Hall burn down than have another Crean-esque used car salesman on the sidelines again.  Did he try and sell one of his players a used Buick Lebaron convertible after that?

I have no inside connections other than my college roommate from IU. We had several parties at our apartment in Woodbridge in the early 90’s, where various IU players frequently attended. He build long lasting friendships with a few of them because of his job at the time. I am only relaying his text, he just sent me and I know nothing else. This is his exact text sent to me.
 From an inside source... Calbert will be named the next Head Coach. 

If true, we are officially Nebraska football....
