This has been my belief for a while.  Archie didn't seem to have a tight connection even with his guys.  Kinda odd.

Strong rumor that a private jet has been sent to pick up Pat Knight.

When is Hoosier Hysteria??  Take all my money now!!!

I don't think the boosters would've given their "private philanthropic donations" if Dolson didn't tell them that he had someone major to replace Archie with. I don't see them ponying up for a Dane Fife or a Steve Alford. It has to be someone they know would get the program where they want it to be. But that's just my personal opinion.

My guess is Beilein with an IU guy in waiting. 

You don't pony up this kind of money and not form a search committee if you don't have your guy. Anyone else we'd want is still coaching.

I think he would have to give them some indication of replacement for sure.

This a joke by the way, just in case people think I'm trolling.

I thought something was up when I saw an SUV at Cook Hall late at night last night...

I hope it's not Beilein, tbh. Nothing against him. He's a great coach. But he's 68 years old and his last coaching act was calling his players thugs..

Sure, I may be bad at my job, but I'm nowhere near "let's pony up $10 million dollars to get rid of you" level of bad.  I need to get a lot worse, I guess.

[HoosierAloha]

They got the first step correct.  Just like our team, I doubt they're able to keep the streak alive.  I'm waiting for the "double check plus" of another mid major guy.

I really would be shocked if it were Beilein. Unpleasantly shocked.

I'd be cool with it if there's a plan since yeah, he's not a long-term option. His move to the NBA was just stupid. He had Michigan rolling year after year. People make mistakes. 

He wins. That's all I care about short term.

No search committee needed - Sounds like he knows who he wants.
Money wasn't a problem as it appears Boosters stepped up for that...

In a way, I take it as he was making fun of the way Fred handled his search. And I take it as he knows what he wants and that list is short

All the guy has ever done is win?

I just think his age + the thug comment might turn some recruits off.  There are some older coaches out there, but they're all established at their schools. Beilein would be building something new at 68.

Nothing against him, except his age. It took a while for him to get rolling at Michigan. We (nor he) have that kind of time.

Steven's or JohnB short term. Just uneducated thought. 

Also, thanks Archie. I have zero doubt you put a lot into it. I can't imagine what goes on we don't see or even think about. Things just didn't work. I think everyone wanted you to be the guy. I'll end up rooting for you later at the new spot. 

[Alford Bailey]

It was a no brainer in my mind. I hold nothing against Archie. Just time to move on
