Dolson shouldn't have to increase the salary much (if any) if he's hiring an inactive guy like Matta or Beilein instead of a current coach with a buyout

He would if it is Brad Stevens ;)! One can always dream!

There's too many! We had to hire a cleaning service for that.

 

Anyway, like I said, stay away from Oats. He's no good anyway.

 

You guys have fun.

I love a guy with a sense of humor. Probably not going to happen and I actually have great respect for the Alabama football program, whether above board not. I like that you took the correct steps to protect your excellent basketball coach from predators. The world of sports can be an ugly place.

He did succeed at New Mexico.

Fair enough, he was successful in the regular season. Made 3 NCAA's in 6 season and went 2-3.

If it’s Matta I would really like Mark Titus somewhere on staff.

Like social media director!

[IUHAHN81 2,176]

So if we go with the likes of Beilein, what do we do, plan to replace yet another coach in 4-6 years? Do the ol, "let's groom an assistant" thing?

he could've just used "DWS" and saved himself the explanation

Inside the Hall's list: Nine names

My take: Unrealistic- Stevens, Oats, Beard & Altman

Realistic but undesirable (to me) Drew, Alford, Fife.

Realistic and palatable, but not homeruns: Beliein and Matta.

Best plausible option on the list (IMO): Mussleman.

It wasn’t Cuban that donated. There are far bigger fish much closer that can fund that with money they wipe their @$$ with.

I have loved IU basketball since 1956, that I can remember. And I don't really want to be that guy, but on some level it bothers me that we can throw around that kind of money over a basketball coach in light of the needs of so many, especially now. Probably not appropriate, but I have been drinking a bit. (Playing the old card now.)

Musselman, Fife, or Beard

I'm in the boat where I guess I'll live in disappointment for life because I won't be excited unless we pull Steven's. Sure someone may come in and get us winning more than we have which is great but Brad is the only one that makes me change my underwear after crapping myself from excitement. 

I hope I get to crap my pants from excitement.

Didn’t Dolson say in the press conference something about having the next coach be there for a long time?  I turned over to JMV right after and it might have been him who said that though. If Scott, it would seem to eliminate Beilein 

[Evariste Galois 575]

I start to have real hope it is Stevens. The we will do what we have to for the right coach and the emphasis on preparing players for the NBA...

All hail Augustus!

$10 million buyout?!? What gives a person motivation to succeed with that kind of contract.
My opinion..... Archie needs to pay IU and apologize to the fans for lack of results.

Glass said that about every hire... means nothing... kind of like when a politician or a preacher says "in closing..." :D

My understanding is that most of that money will not actually be paid as long as Archie gets a decent job somewhere else.

Mussleman makes the most sense to me after my very brief research.
