Do you know how many remaining games we have against Nebraska, Penn St, and Maryland? ZERO Hmm, I think it is that current expectation that is driving this conversation. I call that tanking. 8-12 in conference is a bottom feeder, like 10th place ish 8bucks 1

This fanbase tore Sampson to shreds for minor recruiting violations. If we welcome in Alford after that it really says a lot about this fanbase. Especially considering Sampson is a better coach as well lillurk, Vauxhall and IU and taco corp 3

Not a Brad level hire but a solid triple with historical success in a tough conference. I would be happy with the level of success he has had vs what we have had and would love worrying about whether he can get over the hump and win a championship vs worrying about whether we have enough quality wins to get an at large bid.

Unexpectedflash Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 I think the more I read about Nate Oats the more I want him as the next coach. Watching his teams play is fun and exciting and I think that's something that has been missing with Archie. I think his system is one that would lend itself to recruits wanting to play for him as well. Watching Alabama, they play with a freedom and confidence that also seems to be lacking with our current team. He holds his players accountable which is another thing I know we've been clamoring for Archie to do. He benched two of their best players when they were 5-3 and they have been undefeated since. Plus I think he has the personality to deal with all the pressure that comes with the job. I doubt it would take 4 years for him to turn things around since he's turned around Alabama in two years.

Your list is depressing. Scott Drew has Indiana ties, coaches in Waco and doesn’t make much money compared to what he would get paid at IU. Not saying he would leave but unless you know that as a fact I think he is exactly the type we could and should be talking to. Seems from the outside he is a realistic candidate Jeff_Boy_Ardee 1
8bucks Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 Good article on Scott Drew from last year. I personally love how he built Baylor of all places to a level that he could bring in 5 star talent. He then learned though that those guys did not often come with hunger and is now reaping the success of a Villanova style - get old stay old - approach. https://www.si.com/.amp/college/2020/02/28/scott-drew-baylor-basketball janaslama 1

That's cool. I am just a bit surprised to see Avery Johnson as your #2, but it makes sense seeing as how he crushed it at Alabama in his four years - w/one 20 win season and one NCAA tournament appearance. But I guess he could make a better successor than the '60+ Club' candidates you have at #1, JB, & #4, Altman. Oh yeah, don't get me started on your #3 candidate, Alford, and his experience in Iowa City, please feel free to Google 'Pierre Pierce 2002 sexual assault cover-up.' Other than that..your list gets a gold star LCS = ) Stuhoo, Jeff_Boy_Ardee and mamasa 3
