Welcome Coach Miller

[coonhounds 9,076]

Okay time to see where everyone's head is at with this.

 

If the coach was announced tomorrow, who would you realistically think was getting brought in?

 

I know a lot will be Billy Donovan and right now I am going with Tony Bennett. The longer it takes and some candidates lose in the tourney this weekend may change my opinion.

All know is who ever we hire we will eventually talk each other into why he is better than who we wanted most.

LOL.  True.

There's only two possible choices that would get near unanimous approval.  I think there might be one or two that might be a hard sell to some.  The other half dozen or so will get most of us on board.

I've watched the ILL boards for their last two searches and it was remarkable to see an out of left field selection immediately become a home run hire. (I also saw Kevin Wilson immediately annointed a 'home run' hire too).

We saw the story slamming Gregg Marshall's wife...but it appears Archie Miller's wife has had an embarrassing moment too. What's good for one candidate is good for the other.

Hire Billy! That would be outstanding
 

Looks like Archie did ok in the wife department lol! A lady with a little fire in her eyes is fun!

As for Mrs Marshall? I've seen some say she was drunk but nothing official on that. Other than that? She Hates Kentucky and I'm cool with that! I do too!!! When Mike Davis said he hated Kentucky? I instantly forgave him of many things!

I suspect the consensus choice has been a different guy for the last 3 days (Donovan, Alford, Bennett).  It's a testament to how these things tend to go (and probably just how those conducting the search would prefer).  Based on the trend, tomorrow's choice du jour will probably be somebody I don't want, ha.

If we do indeed get either Donovan or Bennett, do you think we would definitely hear something by tomorrow or Friday? Or could it still be one of them and it not get announced until next week or later? Just wondering how much of a chance we have at hearing something before the weekend hits so I can tell my brain to stop going nuts...

What could Alford do results wise, that would hurt him this weekend?

In my mind he cannot hinder or gain. He is a no contact option for me.

Alford will be a hard sell.

Yea, he was one of the two 'hard sells' I was thinking of. (Stevens & Donovan the two unanimous ones).

Here is what I don't understand about Peegs. They say everyone they talk to college & NBA says Billy D has no interest whasoever but they continue to list him on their board every day.

Wish for Donovan, but I would love Bennett! He would be an awesome coach here and I believe he checks almost all of Glass's outlined boxes! Would love Bennett!

Yeah doubt he can hold a grudge like Knight

No one can hold a grudge like Bob Knight:

Bob Knight: “I hope they’re all dead."
Dan Patrick: "Some of them are …"
Bob Knight: “Well, I hope the rest of them go.”

It's funny... Someone claims a plane carrying Billy D or his agents just touched down in Bloomington, everyone applauds and dreams of banner 6. Someone posts they know a girl sleeping with a couple guys on the team and she knows that Billy D has contacted players, we once again begin dreaming of banner 6.

When you read an article from a journalist who says "we've confirmed the search firm has reached out to several coaches to gauge the interest level" and all you hear is "Peegs is crap" "I don't believe a word"

I don't mind rumors, I enjoy them ... But sorry I'll believe a journalist claiming "confirmed" over some of these crazy rumors.

Wasn't the final four the "go live date" on new hires? It always seemed to me that a significant program wanted to provide the networking along with visibility/buzz

[biteoftheapple 4,115]

Home runs:
Stevens ( no chance)
Sean Miller ( no chance)
Donavon ( a glimmer of hope)
Self ( no chance)

Next tier:

Bennett
Archie
White

Next:
Collins
Jacobsen
Tonagel
Marshall

Hope not:

Alford

From Rabjohns :

Where the Indiana coaching search stands

2:09 PM 

So, where does Indiana’s coaching search stand right now in the actual process?

What is happening right now is the search firm that Indiana hired, Parker Executive Search, is in the process of reaching out to coaches to gauge the interest level of those coaches.

Wait... I thought the "executive search firm" was hired to dot the 'i's and cross the 't's ... Rabjohns is saying they are "reaching out to coaches to gauge the interest level of those coaches" in the Indiana job.

So, who's lying?

Jacobsen and Tonagel??  I assume that is a joke?

I just saw Crimson Cast tweeted UF colors then a hour later asked if we would be okay with a guy who has made the tourney 1 outta 6 years. Has to be talking Mike White and I am thrilled. He may not have made the tourney but he made 3 NIT's at Louisiana Tech and looks like a FF sleeper this year. Had a decent year last year but has improved each year metrics wise. His defense is always good regardless of where he is. He limits turnovers as well and his offenses have been good too. Any coach will improve their personal talent at IU than previous jobs so if they bring a system that works and is proven to a program that will bring in talent regardless it could be a good match. Being only 40 helps a lot as well. His demeanor is very solid too. I have seen him rising on boards with this run and would be happy with it.

I have been seeing a lot of Tony Bennett on twitter as well and those colors could have meant UVA too. The 1 outta 6 is what made me think White. I would be thrilled with either 2 as well as Archie and of course Billy D. Get me one of those guys and I am fine. Collins wouldnt bother me either.

Where is the Bill Self talk coming from?
