TOM CREAN FIRED

[Cheaney40]

I don't have sources telling me anything. I have said before that I am just reading the tea leaves. Crean is gone.

Thought you mentioned a text you received earlier.... Wrong person?

Let me blow your minds.

What if everything we've heard was false and Glass was ready to pull the trigger and fire Crean and the board of trustees were the ones that told him to hold off?

Nah, I didn't think so either.

Me as well. I am done with wondering we can get. I just want to know if we will have Crean or not. A meeting did happen today though. I promise you that. I may not have got info of if Crean is back or not but the meeting happened. Whether it was a bunch of boosters, boosters w glass or crean or both, with trustees, with mcrobbie who knows but I am certain talks happened today. Questioning a meeting happened today is stupid lol. It is the day after our season ended and with all this drama going on I am 100% sure w no source all these guys just went about this like a normal day. Glass and Crean may not be tied to the hip but they both came in around the same time and there is a comfort level. Just a reminder though. Legitimate reports said Romar was back at UW less than a week ago and then got fired. Things can change. Until a release is made nothing is final. Crean has probably be fired, rehired, offered an extension all together today. They are gonna talk about every option so some of these sources probably are true but it depends from who and when it was said. I expect to know something by this weekend.

thanks for the insight....this is getting really old. and i must say if crean is back he will regret it im sure. the fan base will make sure of it. unless he pulls some crazy recruits and an unforgettable season out of his butt he will regret it

That buyout is more than his annual salary.  The fear, as far as IU is concerned, is that Crean could just lay low for a year while he gets crazy paid and then finds a job the year after. 

The buyout is not a one time large sum of money. Its negotiated out over a schedule of years as far as Ive read

So Rabjohns actually did say it though?

He backtracked on it later. Said he had some people who think he is staying. But he spent 2-3 posts pulling it back, saying nothing is definitive at all. Be careful sharing those singular posts. Nearly gave me a heart attack.

Yeah that's why I laughed a few pages back. I don't dislike Rabjohns by any means but when it comes to coaching rumors he's about as credible as you and I.

Completely agree. One of these he will fall into, but he hasn't had good success in that building getting info.

After all this---he has to be gone or IU looks bad--but maybe this administration doesn't care. I still think he HAS to be gone and the NIT debacle sealed the deal-we shall see

that is correct and someone posted that he has to be looking for meaningful employment as well or buy out turns null and void

I was being sarcastic about everyone going about their day like nothing is going on. Just to confirm that lol. If were talking about it I am sure the people getting paid to are as well. They probably dont have a text chain that is even 1/20th of our thread haha but still.

I still dont know why crean would want to come back other than total total arrogance. He has more money than he will ever need and still get probably 2.5 to 3 million at another school. I guess toxic enviroments just dont bother him.

What if the board of trustees led by Quinn Buckner who covers the Pacers has been the ones that have been talking to Donovan. Buckner would have the connections to do it.

That could be possible as well. No one knows what the world is going on.

Then I would say Buckner can be the new AD if he wants.

Even Rabby isnt sure of his sources if that makes anyone who has heard things feel better. Least we arent getting paid to cover the program and doing it either. I like Rabby recruiting wise only. Literally thats it. Doesnt seem to ever know much more ever or he plays it very cool. So the 3:30 thing any truth to that?

I remember the 91-92 getting completely screwed by the officials in the Final Four. One of the best teams I've ever seen play. Should've won it all.

And another reason to fire him and Glass--all the other Big Ten teams are winning in the NIT because they are playing at HOME--yes I am still steamed by our stupidity

Just saw Belmont knocked off Georgia, so we theoretically could have hosted two NIT if could have beat GT at home. Not that it matters just thought it was funny.

He wouldn't be the only on the board, but I doubt OKC would allow Pacer employees to do that. They would have to go through the proper channels.

Alright I'm done and going to bed.  Hope we know tomorrow.  I'm a lot less optimistic than I was 24 hours ago.
