Crean my pants

I agree, but I also think if it happened as it was proposed it would work great as well. Like I said I expect Archie to be our guy mainly cause of what you just said, but the hardest part is Glass himself. Why do you all think Tom Allen is our guy now? Yeah our defense got a lot better, but it was cause he didnt want anyone mad at him over firing Wilson even when he had reason. He gave Allen the job to keep things calm. Glass will not make the move which is why things could change a lot till then but I truly believe the options I proposed and feel like they will be out there more as more time goes by.

Thank you for that and I am glad someone has paid more attention to details than just what people post. If you are waiting on someone to flat out say what is happening on here I will tell you your waiting to the minute it is announced. If you can put all the info together and stay open minded you personally get a better idea than most of things happening. I respect every post on boards. I read everyone and dissect things that fit. As well as having a good source, but most I could figure out if I paid more attention. Sent from my LGLS676 using BtownBanners mobile app

Thanks for that. I appreciate that route a lot more than I am full of **** lol at least your honest. It does seem crazy but I believe it has more to do with timing than anything. The seasons ending different times is big. Donovan probably isn't coming here for a few reasons but there is a better chance than media make it out.

I respect that. It is hard to believe anything anyone says anymore about our program so I get it. I was honestly just trying to give you guys some hope. From what I have been told by several, I said the same things a lot of people have already been saying. The Fife thing is the only difference, but I promise you if you talk to other people in the know they will tell you his name is being brought up, so it really isn't that crazy. If Donovan really wants to come here and wants us to wait then Crean stays more likely than Fife coming aboard which I also said, so I am confused. Sorry once again, but my intentions are good.

Like I said I never said it was going to happen tomorrow. It has been talked about though, but only with assurances from Billy Donovan. I think they could gladly find a way to get those recruits back once Donovan walked in their living room. Like I also said they have other options not just that one. Personally I believe Archie Miller will be the Head Coach of Indiana University around Aprilish. Sent from my LGLS676 using BtownBanners mobile app

You would believe a B1G assistant would jump ship right before the BTT to another B1G team more than what I said? Wow that is awesome man I appreciate the humor. Seriously though I didn't come here for those stories. All my uncles are dead anyways so that would just be an awful lie. Just wait a couple weeks man. Please just wait and remember my whole post. I will gladly take my apology then. I never said it was for sure either btw but that it had been talked about. Good day sir. Sent from my LGLS676 using BtownBanners mobile app

Honestly I have wanted to go on all boards as a sense of hope for fans, but I figured my words wouldn't matter so I held off. I see a few really good posters on here but a lot of horrible ones as well who just hate Crean and think that he is the only problem. Why do you think IU hasn't fired him sooner? The national perception of this job is going down without Crean being the whole reason. I do know some coaches do not want Fred Glass as their AD. You could say he has the Crean effect. Also some of them love him. Billy Donovan is one of them, but Brad Stevens is not. He will not ever be coming here. Brad takes it personal he never got an offer sooner and even when he got calls none were never serious. If he comes back to college Duke is the only school he picks up for.

That is fine. Like I said previously I really don't care, but is it that crazy an assistant coach would come here for a year with the exposure of IU being he is an IU great that could lead to a bigger job? Or he becomes Associate Head Coach here and makes more money than he is now. I promise you the adminstration is not going to just pick a guy again. They are actually very comfortable in keeping Crean or hiring Fife for one year to get Donovan and they would be crazy not to. You would rather grab another guy knowing next year the talent isn't as good as the reason to get them instead of Billy Donovan than your opinion doesn't matter one bit too me.

Before I leave seeing this has made me want to elaborate more. The crowd made a bigger impact tonight as a negative than the win did for Crean as a positive. Sent from my LGLS676 using BtownBanners mobile app

Twitter has brought me here to the promise land. I havent ever even been on here till now just see the post topics on twitter. I come from our rivals message board. IU is not getting close with Donovan and probably doesn't....this year. Insider info he has no plans on jumping ship right now in the middle of a season let alone abandon a team before playoffs. He is talking about coming after next year after he knows the direction the Thunder plan on taking. The Dane Fife rumor is true for the Donovan reasons. They plan on offering him a one year deal to hold the spot for then Donovan to take over. That or keep Crean is being talked about. Crean leaving for another job talk has been because of this. He knows he is a stopgap if anything and is openly interacting with a few programs. Georgia is the school he is really interested in not Missouri or NC State. He hates our fans enough but at least we have a reason to believe we are good. NC State is the same thing just not the good part. Fife is questioning whether he would do it because he has no chance of staying but IU would make him the associate head coach and pay him handsomely once Donovan got here. Donovan is not a sure thing and if he decides to say no completely than IU will make Archie Miller and Tony Bennett offers. They are also considering Sean Miller and he is listening through back channels due to his midwest ties. He may have went to Pittsburgh, but he loves this area. It is said we actually want Archie more. Alford as much as know one wants to hear may be contacted and two names to keep an eye on are Mike White and Tim Jankovich. Glass loves both, but a firm is taking the search over. If the search's main guys don't come Glass goes after his guys. I know this is quite a bit and none will believe a word I say and I don't really care. I see the post on twitter and I feel bad that you guys are left not knowing a thing about our beloved program. I won't name my sources, but it might as well be Glass himself considering the closeness of the person. I will end it with this and it may not be good news obviously it isn't but Crean can save this job, but no extension is given regardless so breathe if he does come back, but I will also say Crean is most likely gone and it won't be by being fired unless Crean can find the job he wants. It would take a win in the tourney to even make the adminstration think about keeping him. Not happening. Have a good night Hoosier Nation and your welcome.
