Yep. HickoryHoosier doesn't kid around. When he says something, it's usually true. Crean is gone guys!

Can somebody copy his posts?

I honestly just dont know anymore. Any post to me is believable at this point because well we have nothing else to go off and two the AD is Fred Glass so this could be handled several ways. I have no plans on guessing or assuming anything anymore I am just gonna give it some time and see what happens instead of getting my hopes up or vice versa.

Hickory Hoosier does not troll, and doesn't post very often.
Hickory Hoosier doesn't merely say "gone", he also says "very mutual."
Guys... HE GONE.

The board has neglected to consider a point that CTC brought up last night: with Meghan Crean graduating from IU, the Crean family will not have any of their kids at IU next fall if they make a break this year.

 

So Riley has backed out from IU baseball?

He is a walk-on. He can go anywhere without waiting. Plus he has time.

If so Glass has his guy. He had Allen ready to go and it only took 15 days to hire Yegley no way we started from scratch. Can't remember how long the baseball situation took

edit. Looked 9 day gap between baseball coaches.

So no faith in Glass firing Crean, but we are then left with putting faith in the same person making a responsible hire with a future coach?

Personally, I'm not as big on Glass as others on here are.  Facilities improved, sure.  While I was willing to give Moren a chance with WBB I wasn't enthused with the hire, and I'm willing to give Allen a chance at HC for football but I don't like how that was handled since he was only a DC at this level for 1 season.

So no, I wouldn't be surprised if Glass botched it.  He had a good opportunity to fire Crean already and didn't do it, presumably because of a buyout he was stupid enough to sign in the first place.

There has been some good insider info if Crean and IU part ways mutually. Maybe we should change the name of the thread haha.

Yeah if the Runors are true that we could have had Donovan 2 years ago and we botched that then frankly it shows that Glass belongs at s school like Purdue that just wants decent teams at everything. Dude clearly doesn't have the guts to build an elite team.

So is this foggers or whatever he/it is called is that a search firm or do we think Glass uses his connections to hire our next coach? If it is in Glass's hands I am truly worried. I dont want a search firm taking the whole thing over but Glass does need to get some help. Maybe Cuban can give some advice....seriously though. He is a very smart man regardless of what his personality gives off.

Exactly.  What if IU goes in this direction and then for some reason Louisville, Kentucky, North Carolina, Duke, etc. need a coach in a year?  Nothing to keep BD from choosing one of those programs and leaving IU in a really awkward position.

Let's say IU could pull off a Donovan hire.  He would have literally every resource at his disposal that they could offer, with an advantage over most of being in the heart of a recruiting hotbed.  Bad coaching hires is the only thing keeping IU from being right there with them, and Donovan would be a home run.

I tend to agree but let's see who they hire if Crean is removed. I have a gut feeling Glass will try to make a splash with this hire because his job will probably be attached to it. Especially sense Men's basketball is were the majority of the revenue comes from.

That firm got us Crean. I don't want to use them again. Look at their placements and I don't see a single elite coach that he has handled. 

 

[mdn82 25,510]

Ha. We have went from anyone but Crean to it will get screwed up. I love this place and its paranoia

My thoughts if what op says is true and Donovan wants to come but wants to wait a year is that you move on. Can't let one guy hold you hostage. You make this supposed move and what if he changes his mind? If you're coming you come now or move the f on. I know he's the 1st or 2nd choice but even with BS you can't let them hold the program hostage.

Exactly.  It's not like Donovan or any other coach holds all the cards.  We have leverage too.

If we have a vacancy, a lot of good coaches would want to come here.  The IU job is only going to be open so many times in your coaching career.  Sh1t or get off the pot if you want it.
