Not much until we get to the signing stage. They leak everything.

She just a got a raise. Why is she being so snippy? One very miserable person. https://x.com/idsnews/status/1900566337782452413?t=3ogj4Ryl70xzyIlc9lbHww&s=19

Agreed. I look at Brownell or Turgeon or McDermott and say there is absolutely no way they'd be stupid enough to hire any of them. Then I look at our administration and I'm reminded of how inept they truly are. Can't rule anything out. It's kind of like that RMK quote on Dale Brown.

Exactly. The worst possible hire is the one where we know exactly what we're getting and what we're getting simply isn't good enough. The fans would be calling for the firing before the opening press conference. At least with an up and comer there would be hope. Maybe it's our turn to finally hit big. Lord knows we are due.

So Monday? We aren't making the dance. Then I guess we can fire up the fire Brownell and fire McDermott threads.

I think someone on this board is over target. If we were just spewing out nonsense she wouldn't be here. So who got it right?

So Brad Stevens is 100% out?

Love it.

Well said. https://x.com/Bball_War3/status/1900351987595853999?t=gKVSRNMFlBDdwxzI1G2Mvg&s=19

Remember when everyone said Beard had a drinkers nose?

Because 8 years ago there were countless articles calling Archie college basketball's next elite coach.

I don't understand the college basketball landscape at all. I don't understand what 9, 10, 11 million per year will get you anymore. If we don't finally just make someone, that is worth it, the highest paid coach in college basketball....I just don't understand at all. It communicates one of three things to me. Either the IU job is just not an attractive job anymore to any top coach, or we aren't serious about turning this around, or both. Pay enough money, and you're going to get the best out there. The donors are only willing to pony up the big dollars for the one guy they know IU can't get.

I'd give Cig another season before you crown him. We played 2 good teams all season and got torched both times. He was also able to bring a bunch of his JM guys with him. Just reminds me of Tom Allen's covid year where we didn't beat a single team that finished in the top 25 and he got a near $40M buyout for it then the wheels came off. Many of us called it at the time. Expect a lot of 7-5 finishes from Cig which is certainly fine.

Beard and Wade were always the only answers. Told you all.

Goodman is a clown but he hates IU with a passion. Wants nothing more than to see us look like fools. He's also well connected and has great sources. He's known the whole time guys like Brad and Drew were never remotely an option. We tried warning you. You bought into the nonsense yet again. The good news is that BM seems like a solid coach. He could definitely be our Bo Ryan for the next 20+ years. An equally good chance that he completely implodes. We shall see. But at there's hope unlike with a Brownell or McDermott.

Hired mercenaries. That's exactly what they are. Brian Evans nailed it.

Not complaining at all. But he's 60 and been out of the game a decade. Not anywhere near Stevens territory. But yes I'd be happy.

Nah too old.

He's either got a whale lined up or the search has been a bust. I see little in between.

Maybe someone like Oats would be close but that's probably about it. The other good coaches are too old to be home runs.

Gonna need to bring back the Undertaker gif if true.
