General Coach Candidate News

[Hoosierfanyuh]

Already talked myself into liking DvD so if it’s someone that would be seen as better than him (not BM) I’ll be elated

Is DeVries the final smokescreen? We will see….

Also comparing Devries to Woodson this year doesn’t really make sense to me since his best player was out. They were ranked before Tucker went out. Take woodys best player away from him and we may not win a game

The other element there is the West Virginia deal he took over was dead broken. They won 9 games the year before and returned no rotation guys at all. So he took their ok, but certainly no IU, NIL and rebuilt an entire roster from scratch to the point that he beat Tommy Lloyd, Mark Few, TJ Otzelberger and Bill Self, Otzelberger and Self without his best player.

I guess I'm hesitant to get excited if he's the guy because I feel like I'd have to talk myself into liking him and thinking he'd win here. I talked myself into Kelvin Sampson. I talked myself into Tom Crean. I talked myself into Archie Miller and Mike Woodson. I'm not sure I can keep doing this.

Not convinced until we get Rabby’s soft bread crumb chatter tidbits with shreds of morsel sprinkle whispers.  
 

Announcement could be today, sometime before the tourney or right after the beginning of the tourney and wouldn’t be surprised if it’s tomorrow or during the tourney.

Dolson has been at this for over a month. And our next coach is…the guy who 48 hours ago got screwed out of the NCAAT by the UNC AD, so he just happens to now be hanging around this week, then flies to Iowa and then gets hired by IU later that afternoon? Talk about some terrible fan fiction.

You are very close. I think Scott believed or was led to believe he had him this time. I haven’t gotten the whole story yet but I think he was told last minute as in Saturday that he either changed his mind or was a no go. I think we had already told a lot of coaches we had our guy. Then had to turning everything into overdrive. I’m sure Jerry will be able to explain it better.

If true, that would be a major failure on his part.

Of course, when an announcement IS made he'll say "this is the guy we were after all along".  Sheesh.

So we got Mag and RTZ out here with their proverbial **cks in the wind. I'm rooting for you guys.

A turn around to big name at this point would be stunning.

If true, why panic and force hire before tournament?  May be the best candidate who would accept is still playing???

Was our guy BS?

Hopefully that was not the case as Steven’s has had 4 friggin years to ponder being IU’s coach. I’ll be surprised, and disappointed, if he was the guy Scott  thought he had only to have him back out.

My heart can't handle this and I'm only 31. I'm simply not built for #SearchSzn.
