    General Coach Candidate News

    This season isn't finished. In the 3 completed seasons, he's averaging exactly 21 wins per season. I guess he forgot the goal was compete for championships, both conference and NCAA, and thought that squeaking into the tournament was the goal. Only a few more weeks until I don't ever have to see or hear him again.
  2. Breaststroke U goes 1-2-3-4 in the 200 breast. They also go 1-2 in the 200 back with McDonald setting a conference record.

    Maybe, maybe not. I'm not sure he would've made some of the changes he has if he thought he was coaching for his job. I'm also not sure I believe Kathy's version of events that lead to the "retirement" announcement.

    Hoiberg has been talked about in past coaching searches. Today showed part of the reason why he isn't being talked about for this one. Losing at home to Minnesota? Yikes.

    Maybe May just wanted to stay at UM or maybe he never wanted the IU job.
  6. It appears that x is blocking the embedding of that post for some reason but here's the link: https://twitter.com/IndianaSwimDive/status/1895635599253499918 As a bonus, here's the 100 back:
  7. 4 of the times were NCAA 'A' cuts and the 5th will surely get an invite. Then in the next race, 100 back, IU goes 1-2-4. Not quite as impressive but still very good.

    That guy has been saying Drew for a few weeks. It's known that Beard really wants the job, it's also known he won't get it.

    Why does it bother you so much if people think IU has a chance of landing Stevens? You do realize that what happens on this has no real effect on the coaching search, right? So people wasting time talking about Stevens doesn't mean IU is wasting time trying to get Stevens.

    Dude, it's Hornsby. Most of his posts are so over the top ridiculous. It's what he does. He's probably hoping the hire will be Bronwell (who everyone else knows as Brownell) so he can continue his schtick.

    I love how the Peegs guys try to play it both ways and contradict themselves in the same post. Doesn't want to be in a fishbowl but if he left it would be for a school like IU.

    Some interesting info from Rabjohns. He said that he doesn't think any school paid more than $2M buyout to hire a coach in the last 5 cycles. I hope IU doesn't go cheap and rule out a really good coach that they have a chance of hiring because the buyout is, say, $4M instead of $2M or less.

    Extremely unlikely he'll be granted another year.

    @Stuhoo was the conductor of the Shrewsberry train until this season. I think he's hopped off.

    It doesn't matter who we're talking about as legitimate options. It matters who they're talking about as legitimate options. The coaching search isn't happening on message boards. Anyone can suggest anyone and it won't matter in the end.

    I'm still not convinced it isn't Ant Wright trolling us.

    It won't be Turgeon.

    I don't see what he's done as overachieving. What Scott Drew has done at Baylor is overachieving, even if you don't count the NC. What Brownell's done I call just enough to not get fired from a school with low expectations. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on this. Hopefully, neither he nor Collins gets hired as the next IU coach so it's all moot.

    Sisley's dad is only 18!? Holy crap, how'd that happen?

    Might win a **** ton of games? Based on what? Certainly not his record to date. He'll magically become a better coach at IU which is also in a better conference? I'm not convinced Collins would win a ton at IU, either. Better than at NW? Maybe, but that's not saying much. I don't think he would be significantly better. At some point, their records pretty accurately reflect their talent. I think that is the case with both.

    Yep, he has multiple good years. Still, 3 out 15 is pretty underwhelming. TBH, I think even 3 is a stretch. He had a good run in the tournament but the regular season wasn't spectacular. A good one for him but was still just 11-9 in the ACC for 5th place. The only year he had single digit losses was the COVID year when they played only 24 games and lost 8 of them. This current season is by far the best regular season he's ever had. Such a hard pass from me. He would be an incredibly disappointing hire. I'd view it as IU throwing in the towel on basketball and saying just being okay is okay.

    Is there a CliffsNotes available for this?

    Let's be real. He's only won 1 national championship. Sure it was at Baylor which was historically bad before him. But how impressive is that really? It's still just 1 championship. We need our next coach to have at least 2 of those under his belt to be happy with the hire. /s Seriously, though, I don't understand how anyone could look at his record at Baylor and say no thanks. Maybe they don't like something else about him but his record? 5 seed once, 3 seed 6 times, 1 seed twice. 2 S16, 2 EE, 1 NC. Even when he missed the tournament he went to the NIT final twice, winning once.
