TOM CREAN FIRED

[mdn82 25,510]

I love the random use of numbers. Most people cherry pick numbers/stats to support their arguments. He takes it to a different level

He is probably the worst, but there are some bad ones both ways for sure. At this point the only numbers that matter are wins and losses. He hasn't won enough.

Fire tom crean!

Whisky played about as bad as they will, and we still were only barely in it. And that was because of better defensive effort/performance. If we actually played D most of the year we aren't a bubble team regardless of injuries.

Don't get me started on turnovers or the same junk offense. #cusswordfree

Never really considered the possibility that he was perpetually drunk....... its feasable

Watching any Crean-coached team could certainly lead one to over-indulge in mind altering substances.

I like to drink & watch this thread

That dude is trolling hard. I'm sorry but even the most diehard IU fan can't seriously, ever never ever, say "I don't care if they win another game this year."

I want us to beat Purdue as long as it doesn't save Creans job. If you told me that would be enough I would gladly lose our next 8 games

I think we're all at the point we want Crean gone. I don't want IU to lose. I stopped following closely when "denim shirt" was hired because it was a shift in what I was raised on about the IU program. If I were in charge and Crean somehow won every game the rest of the season I would let him go after the championship was over.

Beating purdue at home could spell the beginning of trouble for anti crean crowd. I hope iu wins but Crean needs to go at the same time. What a terrible situation

I will still believe crean is gone when I see it.

I just have a feeling that glass is gonna give him another year no matter what.

Crean could probably dismiss Thomas and James right now and he would still get another year.

Imo Crean isn't going anywhere after this season. I think the injury excuse will give him another year, but that's it because we're going to suck bad next year, so after that Glass will have no choice but to let him go or ppl will be calling for his job.

I agree it's time for a change since CTC's teams are inconsistent, lack fundamentals and make poor decisions too often. Still, how many of you truly believe he gets fired after this season? Unless something dramatic happens, I say it less than a 5% chance.

I do think it's unfair to say that the "injury excuse" has no merit. IU is down 2, maybe 3, starters from the preseason and appears Morgan and Davis are less than 100%. Not even the '96 Bulls are gonna just shake off losses like that.  

[WayneFleekHoosier 47,932]

Yep. I firmly believe he is back next year. Unless we lose nearly all the remaining games, which we won't.

I think next year's recruiting class should be an even bigger factor to make a move soon but it won't.

I'm watching UK's five star-don't wanna be a college student kids play, and I kinda like next year's IUBB recruiting class. 

It's how we're gonna make use of them that worries me.

Our team was dead in the water before any of the injuries though. I think there's a good chance it'll have merit with Glass, but I don't think it should. Next year is going to be worse than this year. We're likely losing our top 3 players and we have no one to replace them.  Some of the recruits look like they could be good 4 year players for us, but they won't be ready for major contributions by next year. 2018 recruiting doesn't look very prosperous. Glass is smart enough to look ahead and see that the future is dim. If he doesn't make a move after this year I'll lose a lot of confidence in him as an AD. If next year is going to be another down year there's no benefit to keeping Crean around for it and then firing him afterwards. Bring a new guy in and start the rebuild a year early.

Keeping crean crean on another year would be even a dumber move than the crazy extension
