Hurryin' Hoosiers

Not necessarily. The coach they want may still be coaching their team (i.e. NBA or still in the NCAA tourney). You can't always name the new coach the second the old coach was fired. It could be Alford given he is still in the tourney but could just as easily be someone else.

To me, resume matters but have to look at the circumstances of the success on a resume to see how much value it has when deciding if he is the right choice. Was the coach's success front-loaded in his time with the team and tapered off? If so then I would question if the success was more due more to the previous coach. Example: Mike Davis and Knight's players Did the coach just ride the coattails for a really good player? Example: Crean and Wade Does the coach have baggage on his resume? Example: Alford Resumes matter but you can't just look at the accomplishments in a vacuum. What matters is their consistency of success and whether the team is generally better recently vs when the coach arrived at the school. Do teams get better under this coach or do they get worse? Or are the results inconsistent? Lets get a coach that shows he can build a program to consistent success.

I didn't get the sense from that post that he didn't want Donovan (unless there are other posts that suggest that) but rather that he wasn't likely to come.

IU Swingman - 100% :) Donovan: 25% Bennett: 20% Alford: 15% Mack: 15% A. Miller: 15% Other: 10%

btowninsider posts on 247 forum so he got that from there

Yea Treesh, jump in his car

I got the job...wooooooooooohoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo... Laterz. gotta get my recruiting going. yall got any sleeper recruits for me?

Lets just offer Gene Hackman. He has Hoosier ties...sorta

I find it unlikely that it is Fife but at least he doesn't have bad baggage.

Self = Aladdin? One jump ahead of the lawman...

Finalists for the job Steve Alford Matt Painter Scott Drew And btownbanners crashes lol

This season was so bad that I spent more time posting with a bunch of nincompoops on btownbanners than actually watching the games.

He's heating up... He's on fire!! Boomshakalaka

Anyone but Alford or Drew..... On the bright side, if Glass brings in Alford, I don't have to find time in my schedule to watch IU basketball.

You don't want to know.

The machines rose up and defeated HoosierNation

not sure what would be worse, Drew or Alford

I can tell you where the party is not.. purdue forum.

Tom got Creaned That should have been the thread title :)

what was his response?

I am assuming results would be skewed if I put Stevens as an option so going with who is behind Stevens if he doesn't want the job.
