Miller'sTheMan

Either Donovan or Bennett that he wants us to hire, or that he's hearing we're hiring one of those two?

There is way too much smoke behind this Donovan stuff for us not to have at the very least a legit shot at him.

I like Marshall a lot as a coach, in-fact I'd be thrilled to have him, but he isn't worth 8 million a year... Donovan on the other hand, pay him whatever the hell he wants.

Not going to freak out if we don't get Donovan, I'd be okay with Marshall or Archie Miller for example, both are good coaches who I think can do a great job here. Donovan is far and away the best option though.

And outside of Donovan, who else would be the "top names"?

Trying to keep the hopes down on Donovan in case the insiders are wrong, but I definitely believe we have a legit shot.

I'll wait to see who the new coach is ;)

I could see it being announced early, but I could also see Donovan not wanting it to be announced until after the Thunder are done to avoid distractions.

The one bad thing about hiring Donovan is if we do it the wait is going to suck until after the NBA season to announce it. It'd be well worth it to watch our rivals freak out though :)

I would respond, but I think the mods are more than capable of handling this one.

Funny how you keep talking about how much you know, yet add nothing to back-up what you claim. Typical troll, move along now.

Great point, really using your basketball knowledge to disprove my point.

Yeah, why would we want someone who's won 2 national titles already?

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

I'm all aboard the Billy Donovan train. We have a real chance to get one of the premier coaches in college basketball. If that means we have to wait, then wait.

Is there anyone credible actually saying Billy to IU is a thing or are we just speculating?

Crean has to go

I don't know about that one, maybe going into the spring, but he's literally the exact opposite type of QB that DeBord likes to use.

I agree we'll be fine if Scales bolts, but he's a quality talent and you always hate to lose them. Not saying which is in his best interest, but I'm selfish and want to see him come back ;).

It's going to be the Camion Patrick show at RB next season. Sucks about Oliver, but not really surprised and I think we have pretty solid depth there with Covington and Willis, both of whom are capable of stepping in. I hope Scales comes back though.

Great news, Fant should be one of the top CB's in the country next year.

I'd rather just have a QB we don't need to make excuses for. The guy is simply not a D1 quality QB. We can name whatever reasons we want to for why he wasn't, but this past season he was just plain bad. If we want to be a good program we can't just count on our bad players to somehow become good. Can it happen? Perhaps, but if that's what your relying on you're in for a rough year. Not to mention the new OC runs an offense that in no way compliment's Lagow's play style.

You'd expect him to improve over the course of the season too right? That didn't happen. I'd rather not count on it.

I think this hire signals a clear move away from Lagow. He is not built for the offense DeBord has ran. Seems like Ramsey would be the guy to me barring a transfer, he's the only QB we have who has the ability to scramble.

Good for Wilson on getting a good job.... But no one in their right mind would prefer being the OC at OSU instead of the HC at Indiana... I know we aren't a great football school reputation wise, but we're in the B1G. There is a reason Wilson left Oklahoma, a HC gig at a power 5 school is always more attractive than being an OC/DC at a better school.
