Do you know how easy it is to edit that lol

It had been edited with him as the IU coach an hour or so ago lol.

I am starting to come around to Tyme saying the Indiana fans are part of the problem.  The guy hasn’t coached his 1st game.

Card fans were losing their mind when the Pat Kelsey news broke.

Yeah well, ya know, that's just like uh, your opinion man.

I'll gladly eat crow if I'm wrong but we'll back here again in a few years doing a job search if it's DeVries.

Yeah! Not a true fan, right?! 

Yeah exactly everyone should be jumping for joy we hired a mediocre coach.

West Virginia is not IU

 

Dolson just put his job on the line

You're right. They have been better than IU.

If nothing else this should force IU to make some sort of statement pretty soon.

He took over a 9-23 team and they got screwed out of a tournament bid without their best player all year.  It's clear the guy can put a team together and coach well

Did he pull his good players at WVU out of the portal or did he bring them from Drake?  If the former that is great news.

How good does it feel to have a coach who purposefully is recruiting guys that fit his style? If DDV wants these guys, who are we to question it.

Gone are the days of our coach sitting in the cigar lounge and waiting for five stars to fall into his lap. 

I understand, i just think he personally can do better, if he wants then at iu with his new NIL im here for it!

[Hoosierfanyuh 4,901]

I’m personally really excited. I wanted him over BM

LOVE the hire.  Average record of 24-10 in seven years and 26-8 in his last four years at Drake.  49 years old, so a guy who is still on the young side of coaching.

And he's an honest to God X and O college coach.  

Typically in the first year at a school, the offense is more about talent than coaching while on the defense it's more about effort.  West Virginia was 15th in defensive efficiency this year.  He gets his kids to play.

Exactly and still pulled a better record then this guy ever did

MVC way down this year. 17/18 players who made all-conference last year either graduated or transferred out. Should have been a two bid league.

Reminds me of some other coach that Indian just hired...

Appreciate this

It’s not exactly true but no reason to debate this at this time. Devries is a good hire.

He also hasn’t or will be hired here.

Who will be?

[lillurk 4,895]

Just one guy’s opinion but at the time I was disappointed in both Arch and Woody’s hires, though I could squint and see the vision.

If it’s DDV? I’m actually excited.

Grinder.    Let’s go

I am curious why you think that?
