Still there when I look.

Anyone see this? I'm guessing he's meaning Sean miller or Alford?

Please say no Cuonzo!

Alford is a home run for us. He's a better coach than Crean and our In-state recruiting would be great.

Homerun? Maybe if we were playing tee ball. We need to start playing in the big leagues again, Alford is a big No Thank You.

Apparently my Twitter must not be loading it then.. hmm false alarm

Assuming 0708 and the Janitors sources are legit, there is conflicting info, which is right, and whose is a smokescreen?  Billy Donovan or mystery candidate out West?

We can't be too picky. Crean is one of the worst Xs and Os coaches and game managers that I have ever seen. A lot of coaches that look average will do better than Crean at IU.

True

If Fred hires Steve Alford, so help me Pete...

Yeah, Not excited about Alford. Do we really want to have to fire him in a few years?

Like you said...assuming they are legitimately conveying real, sourced info, they both could be right.

A search committee/firm routinely would reach out to multiple places to gauge interest, and then narrow it down from there with an established order of preference among the candidates that express interest.

So far, I've seen Donovan, Alford, and maybe Sean Miller as where we may have reached out.

I don't know if I could switch teams. I'd just be jaded and bitter. 

[HoosierCoop 4,159]

It's impossible for me to switch teams.

Just get an awesome coach in, bring us back to relevance, and make me happy!  That's all that has to happen.

Seems to be some Alford smoke out there. Wonder if that's what Janitor is inferring.

Not sure he really knows on the replacement talks.

The Alford stuff is going the other way around. That's nothing new but obviously being pushed a little harder given what they see at IU

In my opinion, ANYONE that proclaims "If (fill in name) is hired, I will no longer root for Indiana University" is welcome to exit stage left no matter who is hired.

• Indiana is my alma mater (twice).
• It is the school I will always root for. 
• It is like family; you don't pick it, you are in it.
• I don't root solely for the coach at the time, I root for my team, my school.

When Kelvin Sampson was coach, it was a damn shame, but I was still an absolute, no questions IU fan. I was simply an IU fan that wished we had a different coach. If Tom Crean is the coach next year? Same thing. (though it won't be nearly as bad as when Sampson was in charge)

If the identity of the coach can determine your fandom? For me...GTFO.

Diarrhea is better than Gonorrhea, but I don't want either.  

[RobPoff 172]

Maybe the Alford contact is just to keep the "we considered an IU guy" out there. I doubt that our in-state recruiting would be great if he was here. He's been coaching since 91 and has only been to 3 Sweet 16s. High school kids have no idea who he is and even their parents might not know. He played in the 80s. Let's not forget that was 30 years ago! Lol
