How can it be done and potentially Devries if Devries met with Iowa today? 

Great question….WVU guy thinks the DeVries to IU has a lot more smoke than people think

If Iowa doesn’t have the NIL to meet McCollum’s demands then there’s no way they’re meeting DeVries’s, right?

  Very very true

Big. Like, say, Wright big?

He didn’t say Jay Wright. He specifically mentioned Brad Stevens, Dusty May, Will Wade. Then, said it had to be someone really f***ing big if not DeVries.

I ran in to Dolson earlier. I asked him who the next coach was going to be. He just sighed and said, "You're going to be disappointed."

Okay, not really.

[rcbowla]

One thing is for certain. Drake is really moving up the hierarchy of stepping stone jobs lol.

He said it could be somebody big if not DeVries.  He admitted he doesnt know anything and its been very tight lipped.  But I've listened to his show every night for the past week, and it's the first time he has ever said something like that about the Indiana opening as far as I can remember.

Curry, “If this is done….as I have heard it is….and it’s not DeVries….it’s someone really f*cking big”.  Credits Indiana to keeping it really close to the vest and handling this well

[Ryno6284]

I thought Kory Barnett told Devries to stay the hell away from IU?

Looks like IU made one last run on Dusty according to the Coaching Changes account.

If true that confirms it hasn’t always been Brad

[lillurk]

Earlier @Stuhoo said “ask again in five years” about the best of the bunch of mostly 40-something HCs bandied about.

I’m gonna repeat myself on the same group: you hire a coach for what he’s going to do, not what he’s done.

Many of these guys will never win a title. But if you could see the future told me McCasland, Otz, Olen, DeVries, McCollum, Luke Murray, etc. took a big job and made multiple F4s, or got a title in the next 10-20 years, it wouldn’t shock me at all.

Heck, the first two guys on the list have teams that could make the F4 THIS YEAR

So what do you think based on what curry has been saying? 

[Adillac]

Mismanaging the basketball program for 25 years would definitely suggest IU will ignore Beard/Wade/Golden. 
 

Indiana is a better job than Florida and it’s IU‘s job to make that clear. If IU can’t make the case to someone qualified then again, that’s just incompetence. 
 

You can have mid NIL and salary and play in a FedEx warehouse or you can have top level NIL and salary and play in a limestone cathedral. 
 

It is public knowledge that IU has top shelf money for both coaches and players, that we have a great arena and there is prestige (though fading) to the job. IU needs to do better at hiring basketball coaches. It’s literally their job and it will be their fault (not the fans’) if they hire another dud.

So that logic means Brad or WW? Because I just feel like Dusty is a 0% chance

He said Alan Hissy or something like that a while back to. Dennis Gates was one last search. Heck he might have mentioned Mathew Graves also. :-)

Something will stick

Awesome to hear someone that well respected and connected actually mention Brad Stevens as a possibility. I was thinking all the BS talk was just some crazy Q'anon level conspiracy theory **** lol. Maybe there is a slight chance.

That’s quite the spectrum of candidates.
 

Is Wade that much higher than Devries when you factor everything in? He doesn’t meet our criteria as best ever at LSU because the notorious Dale Brown had several seasons better than Wades best.

No idea.  He doesn't talk a ton about Indiana because he doesn't have any great IU sources.

In fairness, weren't you touting Shrewsberry as the next A+ hire, a while back?

I still think Shrews was a possibility until this year. Shrews screwed Shrews this season.

Alan Huss is a fantastic young coach. He may be the one that got away in retrospect, or he may not be.

I touted Dennis Gates four years ago. He’s currently got a top 15 team and if we’d hired him four years ago we wouldn’t have been miserable the past four years—we’d have an excellent young coach for the next 15 years. Instead? Mizzou does.

Matthew Graves is a suckfest. Lol

I am going to bed and hopefully when I wake up we won't still be stuck on these lower tier coaches

I am sure UK and UL fans thought the same thing last year. Again most coaches are going from mid major to major and not major to major 

[Hoosier987]

Our next coach is likely someone not of the hot boards
