Coach Search 2017 IU Candidate: Billy Donovan (OKC Thunder)

[Yogi's Picnic Basket]

Moved all the Billy Donovan stuff to it's own thread over here.  Enjoy.

You are awesome!! Thank you for the best message board possible. I hated insidethehall because no one in the know actually says good rumors even though it cost money. Peegs wasnt bad but got tired of a lot of posters. The 247 IU site I havent gave much of a chance cause I found this site when 247 started to become big. You deserve a lot of credit.

Hope we aren't jinxing ourselves with a separate Billy Donovan thread.

Yeah it's too early for a billy Donovan thread. We've hardly heard anything about IU and him

and our Charlie Strong is named Tom Crean.

Ol Billy looks miserable on the Thunder sideline anyway.  All silent and just standing there.  Time to throw on some candy stripes I'd say.

Maybe TC could teach him how to pace, shuffle papers and clap.

Definitely not how to coach

Westbrook is an incredible player... who does whatever he wants to during a game. It would probably give me an aneurysm.

Don't let TC anywhere near him!!

Side note: if Crean wants to be a whine about moving on can he become the head of "special operations" at IU until July when his buyout drops?!

Yeah there's definitely more actual coaching that goes on at the college level. I'm assuming that's what Billy would prefer.

Obviously i would love billy but early rumors never seem pan out. Hope this one does but I'm not getting my hopes up.

I hope Dr. Phil will offer a quantity discount for counseling if the BD rumor blows up!

I'll repeat, if IU can pull off Donovan I'd change my avatar to Bieber for a month.

If change mine to "I Love Purdue" for 2 months!

But it worked out with their hire after Strong. I think Crean is our Strong.

So Tom Herman is more Archie Miller/Chris Collins than Billy Donovan?

God I hope we get Billly Donovan.  Lord if this happens I promise I'll be nicer to the Walking Boot of Doom.  Should we start a collection plate? 

Anything will help! Billy D would be the perfect fit for us. Long gone are the days on IU being feared. We are a blue blood school and having Billy D at the helm will lift our program back up to heights we haven't seen in years! I'm crossing my fingers and praying for this to happen. I just hope that Fred does his part and delivers.

Never noticed you were "mean".

If this happens, I think we all promised to help Crean pack up and move. I'll bring some boxes.

Id take Archie Miller in a heartbeat so yes.

[JSHoosier]

As much as I want Donovan (he'd be right behind Stevens on a wish list), I doubt it would happen.  I fully expect the administration to make a head scratching hire if Crean gets the boot.
