    TOM CREAN FIRED

    I bet Crean tries to hire Porter's dad to save his own skin. While also trying to get Waters and Tucker. OG, Hartman, Blackmon, Johnson, Priller and McSwain are gone. This just seems like something Crean would do to save himself.

    Bennett personally probably isn't but that doesn't mean that his agent isn't taking phone calls.

    Illinois is going to end up with a better coach than INDIANA are you freaking kidding me Fred Glass. Fire Crean and Glass before we end up with Rutgers at the bottom of the Big Ten.

    It has been said by multiple people that Alford was the one pushing to come to IU. I also think it might have to do with his family still living in New Castle if I'm not mistaken.

    I personally think Alford wants to come home. I also think that is the reason that Dakich always mentions his name when he talks about the possibility of replacing Crean.

    All Fred needs to do to keep his job as not suck at his job. That means hire coaches that don't suck.

    I wouldn't be surprised if this isn't true.

    I personally am starting to think that if we don't get Stevens, Donovan, Bennett or either Miller I do want Alford as the coach. Indiana has tried to go away from hiring Indiana guys and it hasn't worked.

    I'll be honest Indiana could hire Stevens, Donovan, Bennett, Miller, Miller, Marshall, Collins, Alford, Few, Holtmann, White, Vogel, Fife, Keats, Nored and others I'm just ready to get rid of Crean.

    Yeah he's not wrong about all the other stuff.

    Dakich is also saying that things will continue to go bad at Indiana unless they hire Alford because things end badly at Indiana for all coaches. He also just said that Indiana ignoring their past has worked out really well so far.

    According to 0708 on 247 "Several major boosters are meeting with Mr Glass this evening". Things are getting interesting folks.

    I think Rabjohns is right about Glass flying back last night because there was a jet that arrived in Bloomington from Atlanta last night a 2:05 a.m. So that would explain why it also looked like Glass didn't have any luggage in those airport pictures from yesterday.

    He's not wrong about that but Crean still needs to go.

    He still saying Crean needs to stay lol.

    He went because he likes Bennett and he knew that if he wanted a shot at the NBA he needed to improve his defense. He knew Bennett would help him so that. Which he has already in not even 1 complete season.

    I know a high school coach that has ran Crean's weave and heave system the last 5 or 6 years. You know what happened? He went and got himself fired for inconsistent results. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

    Johnson and Blackman are a product of Crean's system. They look worse than they are because Crean wants them shooting 3's or attacking the rim. There lack of defense also stems from the lackluster system. The reason Kyle Guy went to Virginia was so he would improve his defense. I don't see anyone's defense improving under Crean.

    I have a confession to make. I have never been to an IU game at Assembly Hall. I have never wanted to spend the money to go watch Crean's crappy brand of basketball.

    I'm going with door number 2. Glass doesn't have the sack to fire his BFF.

    I'm not going to lie I watched the documentary perfect in 76 yesterday and it kind of made me sad. I was saddened by it because in my lifetime IU has had 4 coaches and I was to young to remember the endof Bob Knight at IU. But the truthis thhe film showed me how great IU basketball was and I have never seen IU as being that great of a program in my lifetime. All IU has been in my lifetime is either bad or inconsistent. I would love for IU to hire a new coach and return IU to its former Glory but the truth is I'm not sure if that will ever happen because once you start the downhill slide it's hard to right the ship. Crean was on the verge of righting the ship until he hit an iceberg this year. All I want is to see IU returned to its Blue Blood status because it isn't what it used to be and it is ashame.

    No trolls allowed. Crean needs to go and there are about 10-15 coaches I would rather have at this point.

    I agree it is a good sign that Glass wouldn't talk to the media tonight but I'm still not sol just yet. Come on Fred prove me wrong.

    Can Glass be like Saban and just leave Crean there in Atlanta. I mean Saban left Kiffin behind a time or two. Only Glass should make this one permanent.
