TOM CREAN FIRED

[pumpfake 3,940]

I'd have to think if FG is being lambasted by donors, and if he's forced to make a change, he's not in a good spot going forward.

As for Cuban's assessment that TC is a "great" coach - I recall people with more cred in the IUBB program (Kent Benson for one) essentially demanding that we hire Mike Davis.  I've been under the impression that Cuban doesn't give a lot of money to the athletic department because he hates the NCAA (kind of like how I hate the NBA, LOL).

Maybe just trying to make people feel better about the loss.

Maybe also trying to "talk to fans" with these posts.

Winning matters Marni. Winning matters.

I meant the game loss, not the loss of Crean.

I'll be smiling ear to ear like I was when Grigson got canned. Colts have reaped the benefits of Chris Ballard thus far as well. We'll see how IU handles its situation

I bet Crean tries to hire Porter's dad to save his own skin. While also trying to get Waters and Tucker.  OG, Hartman, Blackmon, Johnson, Priller and McSwain are gone. This just seems like something Crean would do to save himself.

The difference is Irsay had Polian in his ear when he hired Ballard. We have Glass and a bunch of trustees that don't know whole lot about athletics making the decision more than likely.

Hearing very possibly that Porter's and Tillmon go with Cuonzo to Mizzou.

Talk about an exciting day.

We'll see though.

He'll still find a way to lose. Lol. Cuonzo not that great.

Don't disagree but to that fanbase it's a major upgrade especially if they land #1 player.

I could be wrong but maybe Crean hasn't found a "soft landing" because he used Missouri to get an extension. He probably hasn't even talked to another school. And that pisses me off

Doubt it. Crean plays by the books.

I never heard that...Bill Polian consulted on Ballard's hire?

FIRE HIM! This is embarrassing

I'm pretty sure Irsay talked about it a couple of times during the press conference for Ballard.

Crean isnt a reruiting angel. He plays the shoe game like the rest of them. He isnt going to pay players, but he will go into the grey. 

[recker222000 1,010]

My one resemblance of a source is also hearing that "It is a firestorm and if Fred is not careful he will be in hot water as well"
 
Take that for what it is worth. My source I personally believe to be fairly reliable.
 
I feel a lot better after hearing that news.

He should be in trouble . He has handled this horribly.

crean needs to listen to his wife and say its time to move on!!!!! thank you and your not welcome here anymore!

He is far too arrogant for that. Listen to his press conference. Thats an arrogant individual.

I hope. Maybe today has been the calm before the storm with the lack of new information other than the boosters apparently meeting with Glass tonight.

His recruiting results and comments from Rick Bozich would definitely suggest otherwise
