I guess that's where I disagree with the take. I think "just win, baby" fixes everything pretty fast.

If someone took the job and was really successful quickly, which is very possible in the NIL era, wouldn't they be treated like a God in the most basketball crazy state there is given how long IU has been consistently mediocre / crappy?

And the downside is what? You're not successful fast enough or ever, so you get fired and leave a multi-millionaire??

Yes and no to me.  Once you win here, you are expected to stay on that same trajectory.  Or close to peak levels year after year.  Most places if you made an elite 8 run every 5 years, you write your own check.  That would get you fired here.

I will say Dan Dakich did reference something along the lines of Darian DeVries leaving Morgantown for IU approx.  4 hours ago, well before Pete Thamel said Darian DeVries is not a candidate for the Iowa job via X....  Just saying

I'm calling the shot; the left field candidate is clearly CTC. Sorry friends, will have to leave the forum once it becomes official. The salary will be lower on purpose to recruit better players. Welcome back to the Hurryin' Hoosiers!

I feel like I'm missing something here, but why does Kory Barnett hate IU so much? I understand Tom Ostrom and Chester Frazier...

Lack of playing time?

I think this is where all the Stevens, white whale, big fish rumors hurt the program. I appreciate the insiders as they have brought the goods on recruiting. But I said this before and I’ll say it again the insiders have never been right on the coaching searches. I’ve been around since before Sampson was hired and each times the insiders would throw out these rumors, and it was always false. But let’s not crucify them. Let’s just back the next coach. If it’s DeVries, let’s support him and the program. He is a damn good coach and would be our best coach since Sampson. 
 

Rumors don't hurt a program....losing for 25 years does...

It does create a toxic environment from the fanbase. Which isn’t healthy. And the next coach won’t have an anything to do with sucking for 25 years. Everyone needs to get behind him. Whoever it is.

IDK, he was a walk-on, and seemed to be liked by the fanbase.... known as the Human Victory Cigar

90% of the fanbase doesn't even know about any of the rumors.  It's the losing that hurts the environment the most.

I think it's interesting how people were convinced Dusty May wouldn't come here because he just changed jobs a year ago, but we never hear that with McCollum or DeVries. 

Apples and oranges. Also that’s assuming Dusty even wants to coach here.

Right!  I swear to god all of these people are using my wife as a source with how confused they are.  You would have thought she was sitting in the front seat with them explaining why the map on your phone is wrong.
