Or agents really getting their clients names out in public for big raises.

You’re calling someone a name, who was clearly making a post being funny.

Been thinking the same since the beginning. I think if a coach like Few or Pearl want to come, O think Dolson will hire them before taking a 40 year old. It’s a guaranteed good stretch for a coach of Few and Pearls caliber. And then do it again.

I think Otzelberger falls into the catergory you are looking for. He has excelled at ISU, which has lesser resources to use than IU. I also like Chris Collin’s but it’s the same argument, someone doing well for their current job. Otzelberger can also be here for 20 years as he is still only 47 years old. I don’t see how he would have a ceiling but Brownell or Collin’s wouldn’t. Brownell is not candidates that will be here for 20 years due to their age. And Brownell’s record is lacking imo. I don’t care where he went to high school and I don’t care to keep Calbert around either. Everytime he has been on staff the team has not excelled. His fault or not it’s been the reality. He was my favorite player growing up but that shouldn’t mean he gets a job out of loyalty. See Mike Woodson.

If Tombstone isn’t number 1, then your list is invalid. Tombstone is the list. Starts and ends there.

I hope they are right. I think he would be a solid choice.

1+1=3. I love the coaching carousel.

Message board gods are telling us something.

His teams played tough but offensively they were tough to watch. It would be more of the same had he been hired before.

Not sure about Baylor NIL, but the Big XII is ripe for picking up coaches. When profit sharing goes into effect the Big XII and ACC will fall behind the SEC and Big Ten. Ambitious couches will see the increased financial support offered at a school in the Big Ten/SEC as paramount to winning a championship. That’s why getting a solid coach is so important right now. The landscape is changing and IU has the opportunity to be elite again.

I’m not stressed about who they hire. I think it will be solid no matter who it is. Looking forward to finding out when the time comes.

It’s Brad Stevens imo. I don’t think Dusty signs an extension if IU is hard after him. And if IU went hard after Dusty, Michigan would have offered a lot more money to keep him with a higher buyout. Only reason to not push for Dusty is they have their guy and the only guy to have this early on is Stevens. I understand the idea of keeping things quiet but that’s where I’m at with it. I’m totally aware I could be wrong but I’m intrigued to see how it plays out.

Add Mike Woodson to the list

Johnny Cash the next head coach

Mike Woodson has the effect on us all. Time for a new coach.

Nowhere did I say every fan wants it one way in a hyperbolic statement. there are posts of fans not wanting Pitino and Wade bc of personal character issues. You and I agree on Beard. Better we just move on.

Right! It’s why not everyone can be happy with the hire. Lots of different requirements.

Earlier on the thread people tossed Pitino under the bus for his dinning exploits. And not wanting him for that. My response was quoted about a Pitino post. You’re hang up on me saying people want a saint seems to have struck a nerve, which is ridiculous.

Mentoring is a bonus. The days of old are over. You get a player for a year at a time now with free agency in college sports. It’s about winning. It’s a true minor league now. Kids aren’t here to play school as a former Ohio State QB once said.

Go back and read the thread again. People want a saint. That’s my opinion from reading this thread. This isn’t putting down any person of faith, as I am a person of faith. my opinion is we need the best basketball coach. I don’t need a morally superior person as that head coach. Look at Harbaugh and Ryan Day. Both great people but play in the grey and won it all. I’m fine with that level of dark arts. I’m not ok with what Beard did.

I was discussing Pitino and by proxy Wade in my own mine when I wrote that. I see Beard as a different issue.

Except people want their head coach to have a resume of a pastor. Anything less and they aren’t good enough.

You can hire a coach to start effective June 1. Just saying. He can unofficially be recruiting and can hire an entire assistant staff while he waits out a timeframe. Don’t believe it will happen but the show cause isn’t an issue.

Yeah I’m with you on better options. I think once you get past Stevens, Pearl, Oats, Donovan, Drew etc, then it becomes much more of cutting hairs between quality coaches.

Haters gonna hate. He is the GOAT and a Colts fan hate him bc he is better than Manning and kept the Colts from multiple Super Bowls. I say this as a 49ers fan.
