TOM CREAN FIRED

He's a very good coach and has a good thing going at Bellarmine. Not trying to bash you, don't think he's worth gambling on jumping from DII and have IU his first D1 job, especially given his age. I think he's better off staying at Bellarmine and possibly win one more title and go down as one of the best DII coaches.

No problem at all, man. I easily see your points. Just thinking outside the box some, might not hurt IU to do a bit of that these days.

Are you hearing this directly from someone who attended the supposed meetings?

Nope.  I have one "source" for good info.  I told them to only contact me when the separation was irrevocable.  However, putting all the pieces together, I see no way that crean survives this.  In fact, just having rallies on campus to fire him would be something that the administration would have every interest in avoiding.  The fan outrage is getting some national media attention.  The number of coaches on the move is increasing which means more jobs are opening up.  If it is not announced tomorrow, Crean will be told tomorrow that he has until Monday to find a new place to coach.

I'll be more than happy to be a reference for him. He's a great coach, offensive genius, amazing recruiter and developer of talent, true leader, he's a homerun hire you should not pass him up!

Maynard, you better not be yankin' our collective chain because we know where you live.  You've seen first hand what we can do on a Fire Tom Crean thread and it could get even uglier if we learn you're toying with our emotions.  On bended knee, please be right.

I am truly humbled to be a part of such an august body of individuals who can turn a Fire Tom Crean thread into 1,000 pages virtually overnight.  I think we should start working to solve world hunger next!  :107:

You guys are like my second family. I love you all. And we could help world hunger by donating one can of food at Hoosier hysteria !

Just received a text and it reads, "Crean finally understands him not being the head coach at Indiana University is a real possibility and is looking into potential jobs. Missouri and him never happened. Agent talked to Mizzou but not Crean personally. A major part in all this is Riley. Riley doesn't want to play baseball at IU anymore due to the last few days. I ain't saying this as a statement I am telling ya as this as what has happened today. Sorry don't expect something tonight. Tomorrow midday is the earliest you will hear anything but don't be surprised if it takes until Monday. Boosters want change, but will not humiliate Crean. Trying to find a medium that benefits both parties." I have no clue what this all means as none of it is definite just statements. I just told him to save his energy and just say fired or staying lol.

I cannot honestly see how he would want to play at IU after this last month. It would not be easy.
