I’m still waiting for a legit source to confirm this hire…

And you can bet your life savings that the local guys are working their hieny off trying to confirm or deny

I want our next coach to do what Oats did at Alabama.  They are a top 10 team over and over and over again.  Do I think Devries can do this at Indiana.  Nope. Oh well. I guess we will be better than with Woodson.  Maybe.  Not even convinced of that.  
 

3 million at WV vs 5 million for Woody.  Basically had an equivalent year.  I don’t see the extra 2 million being the difference at all.  

No one thought oats would do it either til he did, 0 reason to think he can’t.

Compare this to the pope and kelsey hires from last year and it feels similar. Devries probably has had more success than Kelsey and maybe less than Pope by a smidge. It's hard to pull successful coaches away from their teams. That is just the nature of college basketball. I would love to have gotten Lloyd or Drew or someone of that nature but it just isn't the name of the game anymore. I would wager to guess the people that thought we had no shot at Stevens will be lauding this as a great hire 

Except we got a guy from a Power Conference :)

I would only ask you to take a look at Drake's history prior to DeVries.  

In his five years at Drake, his teams had an average record of 25-9.  In the ten years prior, Drake's average record was 13-18 and they only had a winning record' once (at 18-16).

How about not judging a coach until we see what he can do. Does this resume look like a coach who would go on and win consecutive titles. I looked at Hurley's mid major jobs plus his first at a power conference
