And yet he's able to maintain a top 25 program in basketball. No I don't see drinking in a bar as an "alcohol problem". Optics problem? Maybe, but only if he's being a belligerent drunk everywhere. You'll have to forgive me, I forgot that the standards at IU, in Bloomington, IN, are so much higher than anywhere else

Define "alcohol problem". Is he out in the streets shouting at little old ladies while drunk or getting hammered at a bar, like everybody else?

The unanswered questions are for Scott D to find the answers to. If the answers satisfy him then by all means, hire Beard. If they concern him further, then don't

Even so

Even so, he's not coming here and I'd put money on it

It's 5 million according to espn

Doesn’t appear that these guys took the "not tough team" remark to heart

Keep in mind, these play by play guys probably don't know the inner workings of what has been going on within the program

I don't play in "could". I play in most likely. Mr. Michigan AD, if you wouldn't mind, I'd love to coach at IU someday soon. With the odds of IU firing Woodson within the next year or so, could we make it easy for me to jump ship in the likely event that they carry out that firing? This conversation/thought process almost certainly didn't take place. It doesn't happen like that, especially within the conference

Great then we're all in agreement. It shouldn't be about whether or not he drinks but whether or not he's going to get into legal trouble of that kind again while drinking. So let's stop hand wringing over the fact that he's probably still drinking

It's laughable that you think THEY negotiated an easy buyout so he could jump ship to IU instead of making it easier for them to can him in the event that he didn't pan out. C'mon now

Hoping for Dusty to jump ship to a conference opponent after only a year at Michigan feels alot like the NFL crowd that actually believes that an NFL team is going to trade for a sought after HC. Just not real likely folks

So if we're going to shy away from "drinkers", nobody on our list will be coaching here

Sweet Jesus

Guys, we're not getting a mid major cat or someone who's not 100% in. It's going to be one of the top tier guys on the list. The basketball program simply can't go through another "hope this works" approach, which is exactly what you get with the guys at the mid major level. And I don't care how much you love them or how great of coaches you think they MIGHT be at the upper level. They can't play that game this go around. I think it's either Stevens or Beard. Dusty is not leaving Michigan after year 1. Michigan wouldn't have signed him if they had any idea he would jump ship that quickly. Those 2 are the ones I believe they're going to make a big push for

Did somebody say Beard?

Did somebody say Beard? *closes the door and hauls @$$*

Let's face it, this isn't the worst thing that's been said today

If both @Stuhoo and @Chris007 don't stop with their teasing posts I'm gonna run outta kleenex

I really don't want to hear "we want Dusty" chants on Saturday. Why chant for the 3rd guy on the wish list that isn't leaving Michigan this offseason when you should be chanting "we want Stevens". Stevens is the white whale here, not Dusty. Dusty is the Welch's grape juice to Brad's chardonnay Be that as it may, IU will struggle with Michigan's perimeter game

Holy smokes you folks putting up some pages today

Well I'm not the one who rehashed it sooooooo

Really, like Bob Knight errrrr how does this work? Chris Beard would most likely work very well here. Not sure if you're saying he isn't the answer because of his ability or his baggage. I can understand the latter albeit begrudgingly
