Maybe she couldn't find any houses she liked and called the whole thing off /s But seriously this has been a rumor since Saturday. Tom White, Alford Bailey and ALASKA HOOSIER 3 Quote

If BD did have some sort of verbal agreement to come, does anybody really think he would say "honey, I'm trying to keep this IU thing on the down low for obvious reasons but if you wanna go look at houses, go ahead. Sounds like a great idea." Tom White and nerdvana 2 Quote
Bowhunter Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 Is it possible Glass hired a search firm because he felt we needed one and it wasn't just to sign documents like many have said? I mean he is a lawyer! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

Says more that maybe he realized he needed more tutoring and took the MSU Asst job. pumpfake 1 Quote

Also, Painter sat under Keady for a number of years and was groomed to be the next PUke coach. Alford has left a trail of bad ju-ju in his wake. Alford has pretty much groomed himself. I'd take Painter in a heartbeat over Alford. Sadly, I can't rebut any of your points. Quote

I'll be pretty disappointed if it's Alford, but I know a lot of very wealthy old guys, who don't frequent message boards, who would be thrilled to death. At the end of the day, appeasing rich alums and keeping money rolling in is the true goal of the AD. ALASKA HOOSIER 1 Quote
ElectricBoogaloo Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 BTownInsider on the other board still saying it's Donovan. Was asked the last time he checked with his source and said it was today.

At the end of the day, appeasing rich alums and keeping money rolling in is the true goal of the AD. That's the sad thing. With Alford they see a former player who won a championship, so it must be the case that he can win one as a coach. People like that are just casuals. They don't look at body of work or analytics, just the name and what he used to be as a player. That's a huge problem. And if these are the type of people leading the charge in our coaching search we will never be elite again. sirhoosierlot, thebigweave and nerdvana 3 Quote
Capt. Crimson Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 I've said it before and I'll say it again... If we hire Alford, I just hope to God that he does well.. Because as hard as it was to fire Crean, how hard would it be to fire IU's Golden Boy? We'd be stuck with him forever. VO5, IUsafety, nerdvana and 4 others 7 Quote

Only way its Alford is if Glass is forced into it. Quote
