I have a not so great feeling that it's going to be Alford.. 

Watch as my IU gear goes up in flames if that happens.

I would rather everyone THINK I'm an idiot than name my choice and have everyone KNOW I'm an idiot.

Someone on HSN said it's Beilein. 

Ugh

My opinion is donors don't pony up the buyout money unless it's an Indiana guy or Brad. 

[HoosierTrav 7,748]

I would not be pissed if it were Beilein.

It's possible but I don't think that is where this is headed.  I hope.  Although he would do better than Archie, just not what I hope to achieve.

My only issue is he's 68...Look at his tenure at West Virginia and Michigan. They had the best team in decades with him as their coach.

If it’s true its Beilein, then have his successor on staff to take over when he retires.

So we can cross Beilein off the list.

Hopefully that's just indigestion.

Yeah he says his buddy is connected and he said Beilein is in line. We will see. Just posted what I saw.

Who knows, he could be right.  But there's only 2 people I trust when it comes to inside info; and they aren't on HSN.

If true, i'm deflated.  That is not the energy or hire i'm hoping to see.  please don't let this be the case.

I'm sure this has been beaten to death, but is Stevens going to void his contract extension with arguably the greatest franchise in the history of professional basketball to coach IU? I get why everyone wants him but I don't think it's reasonable to think it will happen unless someone knows something I don't.

The Boston Celtics have been fools gold his entire tenure there, and they’re not winning anything with Tatum and Brown as their top two options. Sans their 2008 team, that franchise hasn’t bought into the concept of winning with superstars, which is ironic because the only time they won in the last 30 years was when they went that route. 

Brad is out of Boston within the next few years anyway. NBA coaches just don’t last that long if they’re not winning. Hell, Frank Vogel was probably going to be fired in LA if he didn’t win in his first season. He was seen as a placeholder for Jason Kidd. Brad got some extra time given how Ainge was building the Celtics and he’s been to three conference finals with them, but the honeymoon is over for him and they’re not getting any better.

Agree. Yeah, if it is Beilein I won't be mad. He's a proven winner. Just old. 

[tomallenfan 120]

Would not be unhappy with Beilein... if I somehow get some confirmation that he has learned from his comments while with the Cavs. Also, would need to see a solid assistant staff.

Give me Beilein over Fife all day every day for the rest of time. There's no argument for Fife other than him being an IU guy.

Deathly afraid I'm going to see the  name Steve Alford sometime soon. I have zero faith in our admin until they do the right thing. Firing Archie this quickly was a great start.
