woodenshoemanHoosierfan Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 Oh great IU could (potentially) also be competing with pUKe (potentially) for a new coach....potentially Kentucky basketball: 10 potential replacements for John Calipari (fansided.com) Apparently Big Blew Nation isn't as genteel and patient as the Hoosier faithful.From the Article "What amounts to a lifetime contract also means Calipari isn’t going anywhere,"Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk
woodenshoemanHoosierfan Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 One thing about Matta -- the last I saw, Wichita State had him on their radar for next season. But if we're looking for a coach after next season (barring a winless finish or some other disaster, I think Archie gets at least another year) and Matta has taken the WSU job, I would think even though it might not be the greatest of optics, if we wanted him, he'd come -- even after one season. Who remembers that Huggy Bear bolted Kansas State after a season? All that said, I'm not fully on the "Fire Archie" bandwagon yet -- but I'm getting closer. Speaking of Huggins, That would be intriguing. I do not think it will happen . I heard he likes at WVU Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

woodenshoemanHoosierfan Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 I’ll probably go Virginia. You can’t fire a guy for recruiting violations citing standards and morals then hire a guy like Alford who abused a rape victim. I'd go Eastern Illinois. I'm only 30 minutes from campus. Not really. I'd probably go Northwestern, although my boys would push for Sparty. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk
woodenshoemanHoosierfan Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 I feel this way about Alford -- and Bruce Pearl. I've seen plenty of people on this board mention him -- something about him just really, really bugs me. To me, he just exudes sleaziness. He's the kind of guy who if I was in a room with, after he left, I'd want to check to make sure I still had everything with me -- and then go take a shower. Hell, I'd rather bring back Kelvin Sampson than to even consider Bruce Pearl. I wouldn't watch another Hoosier game as long as Pearl, Calipari, or Sampson was here if those 3 happened.Add Wade Archie's older brother, or Self Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk mamasa and Class of '66 Old Fart 2
Loaded Chicken Sandwich Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 I'm watching games no matter the coach. I just hope they win. Would Alford be great? No. Did he make a mistake at Iowa? Absolutely. But I'm sure he could give us better basketball than the trash we have to watch right now. lillurk 1

Great coach, wins everywhere he goes, super high energy guy, i think he would bring a lot of energy and enthusiasm and success to IU. He’s been involved in some violation type stuff, but everything I know about him, being from Southern Indiana, all his former players love him, booster club member from other stops and other coaches in the office really liked him. Definitely isn’t afraid to play the game but far more sleazy coaches out there. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app JaybobHoosier 1
Str8Hoosiers Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 Give Jeff Walz a call.. he currently makes $1.5M per year... is only 49.... has great personality, fire, emotion.... Completely changed the view on UofL Womens Basketball... mamasa and lillurk 2
Alford Bailey Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 I fail to believe any IU fans will quit watching because of the coach if that coach is winning. Also Alford haters better prepare themselves for him to be a legitimate contender next go around. Stuhoo 1

I'm an hour from their campus straight north. But after the way he used Deon Thomas to get them in trouble, I am a hard no. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

Will he settle for a coach who has never made then elite 8? Will he settle for a coach and program that is fine with a Sweet 16?

coonhounds Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 Anybody see aj Guyton interview with Steve alford? I didn't have time to listen to it yet either but my thoughts were this could be a beginning to easing him back with iu fans? Just something to keep a eye on. Also I now think this could be the year archie is fired. We held on to crean but he was still winning big ten titles outright. I mean just think how far from that reality we have fallen. Also what glass said we were looking for with the next hire we are no where near competing for championships we are no where near competing for big ten let alone anything else. I get covid and the buyout but Archie's first 3 and a half years may be the worst 3 year stretch for a coach at iu. Some of you stat guys can check to compare I would be interested.

Loaded Chicken Sandwich Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 The crazier thing is that Alford had made the NCAA tourney in 4 out of 5 years with 3 trips to the Sweet 16. UCLA still fired him after starting 7-6. lillurk 1
