Welcome Coach Miller

I dont want Mack, or think Glass would consider such a lateral move.

 

 

[JSHoosier 19,826]

Apparently Snow said he thinks the administration expected people to be more positive about the possibility of Alford, and that he thinks many of them feel Alford has grown and is more humble than he used to be.

 

I have a really bad feeling they're going to screw around and hire Alford.

Chris Mack doesn't leave his hometown and Alma Mater for Georgetown(rival) or Oklahoma State. If he's leaving.....its for IU. And that may be an indication that Glass wasn't getting the feedback that he wanted.

Which means we're delusional and this is no longer a top job lol

It seems pretty obvious that they are at the very least going to talk to Alford. That won't happen until UCLA is out, so I wouldn't expect an announcement of any kind- Alford or otherwise- until after that. Unless, of course, you believe in the Donovan interest (I don't).

Why would we talk to him, hes not the elite hire that Glass talked about

I am going to post a topic to discuss and get our mind off rumors for a min.....
I just started thinking about recruiting and Steve Alford and having an "IU guy"
While I am not on the Steve Alford bandwagon and not sure I ever will be, I agree with those who say we need to "lock up the state" or "put up a fence around the state" Can a non-IU coach accomplish this? Can Steve Alford accomplish this?
 
Just for craps and giggles let's look at what our team possibly could have looked like the past 9 years and going forward if we were able to "lock up the state" Below are the top few recruits according to ESPN as well as that years' Indiana Mr. Basketball  in bold. (please don't hold it against some of these guys that chose to play at PUke or pUKe)

2008 – Tyler Zeller, Miles Plumlee

2009 – Mason Plumlee, DJ Byrd, Jodan Hulls

2010 – Deshaun Thomas, Justin Martin

2011 – Marquis Teague, Cody Zeller, Branden Dawson, Marshall Plumlee

2012 – Gary Harris, Glenn Robinson, Yogi Ferrell, Mitch McGary, D’Vauntes Smith-Rivera, Kellen Dunham, AJ Hammons

2013 – Zak Irvin, Demetrius Jackson, VJ Beachem

2014 – Trey Lyles, James Blackmon, Jaquan Lyle, Trevon Bluiett, Bryant McIntosh

2015 – Caleb Swanigan, Jalen Coleman

2016 – Kyle Guy, Joey Brunk, CJ Walker

2017 – Kris Wilkes, Jaren Jackson, Paul Scruggs, Malik Williams

Take almost any combination of these recruits and imagine what kind of success we could have had.

I don't disagree at all, but I'm not doing the hiring. 

[WayneFleekHoosier 47,954]

Yeah, I think Glass was thinking Alford all along. Now we hire the search firm because of the Alford response.

Good lord. Mack is not an exciting hire whatsoever.

I'd rather go with Holtman if it gets to that point.

Um, what? Bc someone posted a far-fetched theory on Mack? 

Are we really at the point where we're just believing every rumor no questions asked? 

[Tom White 1,435]

Because Glass said any IU guys would at least get a hearing out.

[Yogi's Picnic Basket 5,004]

I think the Mack talk is a joke to be frank. He is from Cincinnati he is a Xavier alum as well. If they give him a pay raise he is staying. He would use us to get that if anything in my book.

Where have you been? That's exactly where we are! JK

The ups and downs of this board are crazy. First everyone is certain we are getting Billy D and now the consensus is we have been turned down by all top candidates and have to "settle" on Mack. This is such a wild ride.

Aside from that theory, what is there to think he's a candidate?

Other than the last two hires coming out of left field, so there is that.

[WayneFleekHoosier 47,954]

This hire is a true measuring stick of where we stand as a program, etc.

 

We are willing to pay TOP benefits. If we land a second fiddle guy that will tell us everything.

 

FWIW I still expect a big name somehow. Not Fife or Mack.

 

If not it'll be a very sad day in IUBB nation.

In regards to locking up the state... the Movement was a class that locked up the state... careful what you wish for.
