TOM CREAN FIRED

[RobPoff]

Thomas Bryant: "The pain deep I can feel it in my stomach... but thats the pain and the hunger... to feel success you gotta struggle. to get where I'm at i had to hustle.. thats why I'm humble."
Rojo: "Forward Always"
JBJ: "Never let success get to your head or failure get to your heart."
Curtis Jones: "No rules, Anything Goes."
Freddie McSwain: "How many times should I have to stress. I wonder why I'm not like the rest."
These are the ones I follow, but I find it very weird they are all posting pictures with these interesting captions all within a couple hours of each other, with everything thats going on. I may be reading into stuff, but this just seems off to me.

You're probably just over analyzing. They're talking about failure because we failed. CTC is probably going to use the failure aspect of it to make them play with a chip on their shoulder and being an underdog á la Kansas and UNC.

That being said, they're talking about failure so someone obviously planted that seed in them. Maybe CTC told them that he was out because he failed and they are cryptically supporting him because he's going to leave.

Now I'm over analyzing. Stupid me.

Just doing my part to get this to 1000 pages.

Or maybe the players wanted to get out of Indiana and go to Georgia for a couple days on spring break.

If anyone trusts Hickory's sources over on 247, he basically just said Glass has backed himself into a corner and hopes the situation works itself out. Is this the guy we want as AD? A coward unwilling to fire a mediocre coach that happens to also be the coach of our flagship program. How did Glass get this job in the first place. Clearly he has no clue what he is doing

Just asked janitor if had any knowledge about all the stuff being said today

I respect him more for saying that than making something up just to please us.

I'll coach next season for 1/10th of what they're paying crean. I'm sure I can coach us to miss the NCAA tournament too.

Every tweet just seems like entertainment to him at this point

The fact that the 'janitor' is willing to admit he doesn't know makes me think he's the one guy with actual sources on the inside. These other posters I question if they know a thing or just drawing attention to themselves and rile people up.

 

Also don't think Greg Doyle has any sources at IU but just guessing. JMV saying on his radio show today he's heard IU has no intention of making a move is the ONLY worrisome thing I've seen/heard through all this over the last few days as he tends to have inside sources and be right before others with local teams. 

 

Curious to see how this plays out. Also Glass could change his mind if enough big donors threaten to pull money if he keeps Crean. That's the only thing that could change Glass' mind if he indeed plans on keeping Crean (which really no one knows since he has stayed silent).

Yeah I see that but most are in response to fans hounding him. Probably the only way to not lose his mind. I dont blame him. Glass said this decision about the NIT was made two weeks ago meaning Creans fate could have been as well and the Janitor telling us to be patient and wait for it has not led us astray. Were all just mad he wont tell us exactly what is going on. That is how you lose info from sources. If he is wrong about all this than he probably will need to delete his twitter account. If he is right than everyone questioning him this entire time owe him an apology. I have had a few interactions with him and he doesnt seem like some of the guys on 247 but since their posting stuff just to post were not taking shots at them cause their still talking. Give it a day or so. We will all know this week.

Just a thought, assume we lose tomorrow night, would not be surprised if we don't hear anything  Wednesday due to a late game and travels. I hope for a Thursday announcement of a Friday morning press conference where Crean resigns.

Does JMV have sources for IU stuff? I know he does for the Colts but IU I'm not sure. I also believe Dakich knows what is going not that he'll say anything on the topic because he likes supporting Crean on the radio because it keeps people calling arguing which keeps his ratings up. 

[WayneFleekHoosier]

Assuming a loss. Thursday or Friday release makes sense. (Good or bad)

Bury it in the excitement of the games.

I think Glass really, really wants to give him another year. I think he is starting to realize he might not be able to without a major fallout. Not sure what to expect.

I'm not sure. He's always leaked Colts and Pacers stuff before they become official so I'm assuming he's heard something from someone important about IU. I'm sure Dakich knows but I have not heard him say which way IU is leaning but just his personal opinion unless I've missed it. 

Like I said we can hope even if Glass is leaning towards keeping Crean donors can change his mind with their wallets over next couple days.

I could see that. I think he was all ready to give Crean his vote of confidence after the season but now he realizes he can't. He doesn't want to fire Crean either so he's stuck in a tough situation and hoping someone else gets him out of it. That's likely why the "soft landing" is so important. 

[Aaron]

Maybe Glass passing on the men's team hosting was to drum up support for Women's team hosting which is giving that way more attention that it ever would off. Maybe it's a creative ploy to push 5,000 or more to women's game. 

Totally kidding but think we all need a good laugh in these stressful times.

You can't tell me that Dakich doesn't know anything. But he also isn't going to share either because he continues to say he thinks Crean should be the coach at IU.

I guess maye i was wrong on the janitor but i dont think im wrong on glass. I think the major fallout has kept him from giving him another year so far. I dont he he expected the push back he is getting to end this.

As I keep saying (if Glass was indeed planning to keep Crean which no one still knows through all this) if the push back is from donors with their wallets that's huge and could make a difference. If it's just average Joe fans bombarding him with emails or media pressure that does very little.
