TOM CREAN FIRED

[woodenshoemanHoosierfan 6,171]

Yuck, they pulled a few of us to do JRTC down that way a couple years ago. Probably my least favorite place in the U.S. (Right up there with Lexington.)

I hated Polk. The only time in my life I got Poison Ivy or Oak.

I was thinking a ghillie suit and some Depends.  Some of you military guys chiming in, any recon pointers for Treesh?

Stay low and go slow. That's how Carlos Hathcock did it in the Nam

In DC this season. At MSG, a week earlier, next season.

And I hate that it's a week earlier too. We'll be playing ours a week before all the P5 conferences. This year with everyone beating up on each other and next years changes. Will it make the B1G look weaker??

I'll be at work when that puppy lands. My investigative services are between the hours of 3-12PM.

Maybe we should all chip in and hire a detective?

Multitasking right now. Haha. I'm ordering parts online whilst refreshing this guy in between.

I really am not sold on Alford. I don't think his team's play defense. Even the Big Ten and Beyond crew commented on that. We complained about the lack of defense with this team, why more of the same?

I hate to be the one to post this put Doug Gotleib just posted this...once again sorry no screen shot.

Elephant in the room......Indiana and Alford.

I know that isnt what people wanna hear but that is the first major media post I have seen about us so I know we have at least reached out. Hopefully that is it.

I love B-town and I am sure that Alford has similar feelings toward the place, but I have also been to Westwood...and I just can't see him giving that up for B-town.

I guess I may be one of the few that would be ok with Alford.  Finally bridges the gap with Knight era, and he would/could recruit the crap out of the state of Indiana. Still young enough to be a long term success as well.

 

Edit, I realize that this is my first post - I just found this site after being a Peegs board guy for a long time.  No, I am not Steve trying to drum up support.....

Alford is not my first choice either, and I could see how a lot of people have a problem with him, but I think he could have more success with the resources and traditions and his name behind him at IU than he ever could at a place like Iowa. Again not my top choice, but I could live with it. Probably won't reunite the fan base without a lot of success. But only Stevens and Donavon would probably unite everyone right away.

[HooHooHoo22 3,902]

Warming up to it because recruiting picks up???

Yeah pretty much. I was very young when the rape scandal went on. So I really don't know much about that. If you can get the best basketball players every year though you always have a chance

Prediction time.  What page is this on when a major media outlet breaks that Crean is out at Indiana?  And what page is it on when the replacement is announced?  My guess is 50 fewer pages than 20 minutes after the news breaks.  We've got a long week coming up, I am going with 785 and 855.

[WayneFleekHoosier 47,496]

I've been on record saying, although he isn't my 1st, 2nd, or 3rd pick, I'd be happier with Alford than Crean. Recruiting would certainly pick up. Winning ceiling would raise. In state recruiting would improve.

Inconsistency and defense problems would still be there.

Alford is probably my 4th or 5th choice.

So set the O/U at 800? going with the over

 

[WayneFleekHoosier 47,496]

Let's not forget we just paid 250k to cancel an East Coast set of games.

To me, this is huge news. I have to believe a coaching change is the impetus of this decision.

What was the reason to cancel (haven't seen one yet)?  This is typically one of the better set of early season games.

There was a scheduling conflict with other games. I believe they are trying to add some games around that date, didn't work out. A coaching change could also influence this decision.
