I’ll gladly eat crow if it’s Stevens, and I hope it is. I just don’t see it

So what time does some sort of announcement get made today shooting all this excitement down? Stevens signs a 200 million dollars contract with boston today perhaps? Something bad is imminent

To be fair, Woodson was everyone’s #1 target here. With his accolades as a coach, his experience on the college level, and he’s a Hoosier.

I saw a photo of Stevens at a UF/ Missouri game maybe Sec tourney. Anyone else see that or can debunk?

Hope the result is different, but seems like Deja vu all over again.

Patience, a process, time, research, resources, behind the scenes, top notch decision making, secretiveness, future vision, evaluating, and game changing decisions = Mike Davis, Tom Crean, Archie Miller, Mike Woodson AND……..

Good vibes here today.  I love it.  Personally, I just want the media folks that cover IU to get a whiff of this news (doesn’t need to be enough for a tweet or article, just a whiff) and I’ll let myself really start to believe.

Don’t forget that coaching is a bit of a fraternity and these guys respect each other/adhere to certain principles. One of those is you don’t take a position that is currently filled. So for next steps, do not be looking out for announcing a hire before we see an official “Mike Woodson steps down as Indiana’s coach” announcement. That’ll happen, but that’s the next milestone to look out for, not “big wink.”

Not sure Dolson played baseball but that Mother f*cker can hit a home run 

So, Dolson is going to have his own statue on Kirkwood?

I think this lyric from the Chairman of the Board is pretty apt for how this whole coaching thread has gone.

That's life (That's life), that's what all the people say
You're riding high in April, shot down in May
But I know I'm gonna change that tune
When I'm back on top, back on top in June

I said, that's life (That's life), and as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks stompin' on a dream
But I don't let it, let it get me down
'Cause this fine old world, it keeps spinning around

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king
I've been up and down and over and out, and I know one thing
Each time I find myself flat on my face
I pick myself up and get back in the race

That's life (That's life), I tell ya, I can't deny it
I thought of quitting, baby
But my heart just ain't gonna buy it
And if I didn't think it was worth one single try
I'd jump right on a big bird and then I'd fly

That's life (That's life), that's life and I can't deny it
Many times I thought of cutting out but my heart won't buy it
But if there's nothing shaking come this here July
I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die
My, my

Regarding Brad Stevens it must be unbelievable feeling to be wanted in high level jobs/careers that are so prestigious, fun, and something you love and all of them are many multi millions of dollars endeavors. (Jobs/careers).

Brad Stevens for president.

I am kind of confused here. That announcement was made in February.

I’m not suggesting that Woodson/IUAD may pivot on him leaving, but that until he is officially no longer the HC, he is currently the HC and nothing comes next before that is no longer his title.

Hey guys, I've been at brunch, did I miss anything?
