I think Beard is a solid upgrade from Archie, but I’m not sold on him as the top candidate especially if the money for him is what we think it has to be. He had two great runs followed by two .500 conference records and early exits. Reminds me too much of the Crean roller coaster. Wouldn’t be terribly upset with him but I think there are better options especially for 6 million Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well son of a *****. The only thing that’s weird to me is why it took so long (a day or two) for this to come out. Let’s be honest his initial denial was very weak and open ended. With as much media and chatter this has gotten if he was 100% not leaving I would have thought he would have reiterated it sooner or someone would have dropped info like this sooner Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yea I don’t know haven’t seen him really mentioned anywhere Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Since it is slow, any thoughts on where Archie will land or should land? I hope he finds success again, I liked the guy, he just didn’t work here. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Very little “news” today, I’m trying to continue with my streak of non productivity, let’s pick it up Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

True, also helps that his mentor built it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Take it for what it’s worth, heard today from someone connected to a booster that has a relationship with dolson (how close I don’t know) but he has season tickets on the floor. Anyways he said that he has heard very similar contract numbers to what chris mentioned earlier. He didn’t know who it was prepare to be offered to but he was under the impression as most of us in that he doesn’t think they would fork over 10 million to fire Archie and over that kind of money for someone other than Brad. Again, he doesn’t know anything for sure just another connection hearing similar things to what we’ve heard from others. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Haha no. Not calling you out, we just need to reel ourselves in a bit and quit trying to make something out of everything. AJ has tweeted quite a bit about it he’s doesn’t know anymore than we do, and if that really was a picture was taken today there’s absolutely no way AJ tweets it before anything has been released.

Well it certainly wasn’t going to be a middle class or lower class donor Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

All the Stevens talk as got me sidetracked from other mentioned candidates (for obvious reason). And the more I look in to them the more I’m not sure I’m sold on Chris Beard. He was a hit name for awhile and did go E8 and Championship but then followed that up with two .500 conference record years. Just worries me and reminds me of Crean high followed by Crean lows. I obviously wouldn’t be upset if it were him, but he doesn’t excite me as much as he used to. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Movie day, all day everyday until the decision Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m under the impression Brad is secretly tanking to finish the season in purpose to force the decision. This is the most logical reasoning no? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Accidentally deleted the app, can’t seem to find it on the App Store anymore. Anyone able to help me out with this?

Indiana Basketball has set me up for disappointment every year for the last 20 years. Being an optimist has its negatives Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

So is this now the thread for all the latest gossip or is it the other coaching candidate thread? I only have so much time to not do productive things Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

I think there’s a way that you can set up Twitter accounts that don’t allow people to comment? Not sure? If it is possible the NCAA needs to make that a mandate for all student athletes during their time. It’s sad that people feel like it’s okay to tweet at college students with negativity but that’s the world we live in. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I’ll put $100 down. IU gets a great coach and Im $5,000 richer Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Since we yet again aren’t in the tournament should someone create a bracket with potential coaches so we can at least participate in bracket challenge Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

IMO the problem with the id take Alford or I’d take “insert name” over Archie right now is that gets us nowhere long term. Moving on for the sake of moving on is a recipe for the same thing we’ve been dealing with for 20 years. I understand that now more than offer IU is “losing” fans and Archie is the cause but this needs to be a business decision not a knee jerk reaction decision. We can’t move on just to move on we have to move on because we have someone that makes us drastically better long term. Hiring an alford type or someone like that just kicks the can until 2025 when we’re saying “id take so and so over alford at this point” they’d at least be a little better Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

For what’s it’s worth, I have on very good authority that after Saturday’s game Landers mom text Archie and told him “you’re nothing but a ******* used car salesman” I did not see this text directly but I know people that were at the same establishment she was and saw it.

I wouldn’t be upset. He’s 68, old yes, but Izzo is 66, K is 74, Roy is 70, Pitino 68. I think Belein could turn things around fairly quickly. If he can give us a solid 4 years and get IU back on track and make it a desirable job again, maybe by the time he’s ready to call it a career someone like Stevens or Beard would be willing to come. If it were Belein, I have to assume Dolson would definitely have that conversation on how long he thinks he’s around and that would give him a known timeline and multiple years to work back channels for his eventual successor.
