We also paid for him to use a private jet to do commentary for the Pacers. So generous.

There are Egyptian mummies more lively than Armond Hill.

Phil Jackson is about as likely as some of these names being thrown around.

Lying around.

We all would be if IU hired Turgeon.

There'd be a 'Fire Mark Turgeon' thread up before the ink was dry on the contract. Considering IU's insistence on keeping coaches too long that thread would for sure hit a record number of pages.

Well if that's the plan, mission failed.

The thought of Turgeon almost makes that 16m buyout sound reasonable.

If they hire Turgeon this will be everyone on BTB

Turgeon hasn't been a coach since December of 2021. If IU hired him they should just shutter the program and focus on football, it would just confirm that they are truly deeply unserious about this program coming back.

Wooden isn't doing much these days and he's used to paying players.

We've reached Turgeon so it's only a matter of time.

I check in to see posts about......*checks notes*......Mark Turgeon?? That was not on my BTB bingo card for today. We can't last a month like this, already have posters losing their minds.

Alford is probably a better choice than we have now, sadly.

If certain people would've realized that 4 years ago this thread wouldn't exist.

Rtz popped in and said Brad. So we can hope it's not Brownell.

I'm skeptical, to say the least, but nothing wrong with posters having some fun with the idea until IUBB smashes our hopes again.

The best coach of the former players is probably Alford, unfortunately.

Mike Woodson finds your lack of faith disturbing. Hey, Armond Hill is awake in this picture.

McDermott just signed an extension this past March.

It drops April 1, 16m until then. We'll need a coach by then.

I would hope we aren't crazy enough to pay a $16 million buyout for Mick Cronin, he's not worth that plus the contract he'd get. I say that knowing we hired Mike Woodson so the bar is set pretty low.

The owner, I think.

I'd be okay with May. Not particularly enthused but I can see a possibility, after this year I see the possibility easier than I did with Miller. Take away the coach in waiting for his son and I'd gladly take a run at Pearl and stabilize the program for about a decade.

The fans aren't the problem, too many bad coaching hires is. If the fans were the problem then UK would be a raging dumpster fire, those fans would've rioted after hiring Woodson and burned the campus to the ground after year 4 was announced. Cronin isn't the worst option, but with his buyout I have no interest. If we paid that buyout for someone like Cronin then we have decision makers that need therapy (if not a padded cell).
