General Coach Candidate News

[coonhounds]

We are. I’d be thrilled if it were him. I am not saying it’s 0% chance it’s Stevens because you have been right before about things… but I don’t think anybody except Dolson and a very small number of people know for sure. GP literally has no track record here then called someone brain dead for questioning him... Since then all he does is post weird smiley faces. And posting all those white smoke gifs this morning but not being able to say who it is, but we know it’s done and they’re really great, just doesn’t make much sense… seems like people getting set up to disappoint themselves again. To each their own, would love to be wrong. In the event we do sign Stevens, I still don’t think GP or behind the bench know a single thing and are doing anything but having fun playing pretend.

If it is stevens your opinion is irrelevant and those guys are getting massive props. You may be right they may not know anything but still they deserve their due imo

Are you aware this happens all the time and contracts are made with contingencies for when it does?

No. I’m not in this particular industry. But I have significant dealing in contracts in general.  I don’t know that I agree with your application of contingency, but again, I’m not a sports agent and not in the industry.

Well, I mean, Dolson DID hire Woodson. 

And gave him a 4th year, so...

Again, not Dolson’s fault for hiring Woodson.  He had no choice in the matter.

Coaching candidates aside, what style of ball do we prefer? 
 

Fast paced run and gun or more slow methodical lock down on defense? Does a slower pace appeal to top level recruits?

You could probably find a dozen “you don’t pay $10 million to fire Archie to hire Mike Woodson” posts in this very thread from March 2021. Yet that’s exactly what IU did. Just think about whatever decision a well-run program would make and then take the opposite of that if you want to figure out IU’s next move. 

Yep, they hired Woodson because he played here forever ago then gave him a 1mil to raise just for making the tournament.

It's IU, basketball is king so people are more likely to meddle with that hire than football.

My preference is the style of winning....

Let’s hope not because that would be the most underwhelming hire we could make. 

No doubt on that.  I’d probably never watch college basketball again lol.

You have really surprised me with how you have acted today. I thought we were all IU fans.

He’s got an @$$ tattoo on the line, desperate times…

Adaptable.

You know it’s bad when everyone agree this would not be a good hire

Winning ball. Period.

No, he’s not the most likely hire.  Dolson didn’t get rid of Woodson to hire Brownell.

But Woodson retired, right? Nudge nudge…wink wink

Glass half full: It's refreshing not having KathywithaC telling us all how we're wrong, stupid and generally functioning cavemen/women today.

Who is he referring to?

[HoosierInParadise]

Still believe in Santa Claus too?

Well, I did until I had enough information to tell me that I didn't anymore. That threshold is different for everyone...just as an elementary school teacher.

Obviously my preference too, but not sure this response furthers the discussion.

Tyme is constantly changing his tune (wayyy more than he has done previously)

So i am pretty sure his sources are dog poop for this hiring

Tyme tends to do a pretty good job (of looking stupid) on his own...
