I don't know, I've always been partial to Goldberg's entrance.

It's a shame he got hurt at SummerSlam. He is a really good wrestler

[Alford Bailey 12,259]

I mean listening to Glass he wants a proven winner, may take a while and not against an NBA guy. Gotta be Billy.

Let Billy (or Brad) walk in to Hoosier Hysteria to that.

Key word Proven winner! Back to back championships trumps all the others being talked about including Stevens

Billy Donavan!!!!!!!

Hutch's take:

Quote

3. Billy Donovan (Oklahoma City NBA): The word out there is Donovan may be interested in following in the footsteps of his mentor Rick Pitino and returning to college basketball from the NBA. Especially if Russell Westbrook isn’t long for Oklahoma City. So there’s a lot of pieces in motion here. But Donovan would be the name hire that a lot of people are looking for. Now, his salary at Oklahoma City is $6 million so I’m not sure how much Glass would have to pay. But, again, if Donovan was interested and wanted to be considered, I would think it would be something Indiana would have to take a long look at. The problem there could be when he would potentially be able to make the move, and that might not be for a month or two. Would Indiana be willing to wait if that’s the guy it thought it could get?

Thats still a telling quote.... "while im here"

 

Why say that if you have no interest in leaving

[Brass Cannon 24,068]

Had a colleague tell me Alford was a better candidate than Lando. Yep final confirmation the guy is none to bright.

I agree, he's probably thinking of Billy Donovan, but some of what Fred said made me think that they may take another run at Brad Stevens.  Very likely it won't work, but I think they at least try now that we officially have a job opening.

Glenesk turning himself into more of a clown every day.

[ap2345 7,098]

This guy is being very adamant about Donovan. So I really hope that he is right. At this point I really don't want anyone not named Brad or Billy.

[Scooter D 928]

As long as Billy didn't say "no, i am not interested in the iu head coaching position" then he hasn't said no yet and we still have a shot at him.  

[Miller'sTheMan 1,652]

Maybe we can get Oladipo to convince him to come to IU? I'm only half kidding...

a.m. ramblings

Exciting to think IU could land him.

Similar Cal to Kentucky, Instant success. It might not manifest itself in wins the first season. Have to believe it will in recruiting. Wait until the next.....

IU is a sleeping giant

IU could announce its back, in a big way. .

Donovan or Stevenson (please and thank you)

Dare to dream the impossible dream.

Its only impossible if you don't try........

Unleash the beast that is Indiana...

Why do I keep seeing Donovan referred to as Lando on here? We aren't hiring our former US National soccer team captain, or am I missing something?
