Ha ha. I was limited to 20 so that wouldn't work, LOL

In my analysis of this I am considering a yes at 100%, neutral at 50% and no at 0% approval rating when I total up the results.

Which name?

Its at the beginning of this thread, the poll. It could be a Tapatalk thing/issue to?

I tried to make it to where its not about the excitement level of each coach. That's really hard to take out of it though unfortunately.

This is exactly what I was wanting to see. We have all the back and forth but that it tends to come from a select few which can sway what the actually feeling of the majority really is. I think some are really "delusional" about how others feel about certain candidates.

No problem. I thought it would give an interesting aspect of this and something to reference or discuss to pass the time of the next several weeks. I was considering doing a part 2 because there are a few other names I'd be interested in knowing the results to. Some of these names are a little more obscure or maybe not as realistic as some of the ones above, but if it got past this original group of 20 candidates, I think I might be a little concerned. However, if I added these names, some of them would require a 4th option of "Who?" Other names left off of this because I was limited to 20 options above. Chris Jans (Mississippi State) Will Wade (McNeese State) Mark Byington (Vanderbilt) John Schertz (Saint Louis) Darian DeVries (West Virginia) Billy Donovan (Chicago Bulls) Rick Pitino (St. John's) Richard Pitino (New Mexico) Kevin Boyle (Montverde Acadamy)

Please answer the above questions.

He just said "Announcement Soon"

This is absolutely terrible but my first attempt at something like this......

Look, you all need to settle down. Mike can’t shoot for them………. . . Mike also can’t screen for them. Mike can’t rebound for them. Mike can’t take a $h!t for them. Mike can’t coach for them. Mike can’t draw up a play for them. Mike can’t substitute properly for them. Mike can’t game plan for them. Mike can’t recruit for them. Mike can’t gamble for them. Mike can’t order Taco Bell for them. Mike can’t find the hump for them. (Let alone get over it for them) But what Mike CAN do for them is get them over paid so he IS doing his job. Lay off of him so he can call off practice tomorrow to go find the hump on the golf course. This time if he can just find it, he might be able to drive the cart over it instead of spiraling out of control, down the wrong side of the hump and into a pond or tree like the last 22 times. Damn it Lucy, stop moving the football, we are trying to play golf here, err, I mean find the hump so I can see if I see my shadow to know if I have 6 more weeks of coaching left.

Bump

At, gotcha. I just misunderstood then. We agree.

Not sure why you quoted me? All I said was that the candidate threads could be locked because we officially had a coach. To which I said I hoped we wouldn’t need a new one for a long time as I was rooting for him to succeed, but I was not very confident that would be the case (jury still out = I don’t know about this hire, I have doubts but I’m hoping it works out, it obviously didn’t). So my hesitation on the hire was actually pretty accurate.

Not really, just this thread has the most traffic. For now I’ll just say it’s un related.

Who is our resident flight trackers, please DM me, I have a question for you?

I 100% hear the sarcasm here, but wouldn't it be funny if this actually happened. I know it won't but still.... LOL

As long as you bring me with you to this DM party!!

Won't have to worry about it if we don't make it (unlikely but still).

Over/Under on chance that CMW gets T’d up and tossed tonight?

Overtime

Ok, first one to make it then. Might still be a while though

Let me re-phrase and elaborate: Crean was a great coach in most aspects except for the 40 minutes that count on the court. He was a very below average in game coach. Substitutions, schemes, adjustments were all very poor and he was so inconsistent that it led to his downfall. He won with talent and hustle but got out coached often. He was able to develop talent but his sporadic demeanor destroyed his recruiting relationships towards the end and it sealed his fate along with the poor in game coaching. But he understood what Indiana is and was and what it meant. He understood and loved this university for what it is! If I could combine him and Sampson with their best qualities, you would have a hell of a coach.

No, you completely ARE missing the point. It doesn't matter who it is. Give it to Ya, Calbert, Walsh, or even Jordy. Or bring someone in like the Colts did with Jeff Saturday (such as Crean, Fife, or Dakich). It doesn't really matter who it is, as long as its not Woodson, and whoever it is knows that it is 2 month temporary job. Having said that, I still feel the announced retirement at the end of the season is the best route for all involved if announced now. But one of these two things needs to happen and happen before our next home game, or at the very least, before the Michigan home game. The one thing at this point that can't happen, is NOTHING.
