General Coach Candidate News

[JaybobHoosier 11,843]

 

I know some will hate this topic because we are probably over a year away from this, but just curious who would be actually candidates outside of pipe-dream Stevens, Few, and Donovan? I honestly don’t know, but maybe someone like Rick Barnes would be someone good to hire that could right the ship for awhile. Make us a consistently good program.

This thread is going to be 100% relevant and I feel like fans are lying to themselves if they think different. We all see the slow death coming. Beard is #1 for me but honestly I just want something different at this point. Can it really get any worse?

[Trish 11,567]

I was thinking of making this thread. One name if he’s interested. 
 

John Beilein. CTC coached circles around him for a few years and then John turned things around at Michigan. However.. does he have the patience to rebuild this current program?

Beilein

Kelvin Sampson - lets hear it 

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,390]

ANYONE ELSE.

Even Crean with a defensive coordinator.

Hmmm.

Beard seems realistic and possible.

Who knows, but I’m confident it will be a mid major coach with promise, BECAUSE ITS INDIANA, ITS INDIANA.

Calm down.

 

Tom Crean is dead last in the SEC right now. At least IU isn’t that in the best conference in America.

Right or wrong, good or bad, for better or worse...

 

I can’t imagine a realistic world in which Archie Miller is fired and Steve Alford isn’t the replacement. 
 

It’s a projection, not a wish.

I’d take Tom Crean back over Steve Alford. And I led the Fire Tom Crean train on here..

I might stop following IU athletics if this comes to fruition. Dolson a fan?

[Hoosierfan2017 21,458]

John Calipari. I want him. Bring on the reactions haha.

Seriously though, just get a winner. I don’t really care how he wins at this point. Just tired of mediocrity.

My only worry with Beilein is his age and probably not wanting to coach much longer. HOWEVER, that would be way better than what we have now even if for only 4-6 years.

Might have the timeline wrong, but I believe he was a manager on an Alford team. He was definitely a manager here.

Beilein
Kelvin Sampson - lets hear it 

I would be all for Sampson

It sucks because I really want to like Archie. I didn’t like Crean because he was goofy and kind of weird and was also really inconsistent as a coach. But I wanted to like Archie. I wanted him to be the guy to succeed at IU. I just don’t see any realistic scenario where that happens. We aren’t good this year, and next year will be even worse unless TJD miraculously returns. No real point in waiting another year for the inevitable.

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,390]

No to Beilein.

Beard, Drew, Sampson (seriously), Pearl (seriously-if not sanctioned).

Ugh. Depressing stuff

Yikes. Forgot about that. Welp

You are correct. Plus I am pretty sure Chris 007 said that he is dolson’s top guy and would be most likely.

Bryce Drew? No lol. 
 

Pearl? lol 

 

Maybe Beard. I’d like to see what he does the next two seasons which is our timeline anyways with Miller. This season and next season.
