I don’t know who the next coach will be but would any of you put up 10 million without knowing who the next coach will be?

Depends on how much money I had.   If I had enough money that made 10 million feel like chump change I might pay 10 mil to not see a 9:50 scoring drought to end a game.    Definitely agree they have a plan in place and those donors have certain assurances

Because the current coach is that bad?

I understand but 10 million and just hope the AD gets it right. I need assurances I’m not getting another Archie Miller.

Bring him home Scott!

Hi I’m new here, but I think Titus was actually making a joke about saying that about IU when the same thing can actually be said about the Celtics. 

You've made your first post so now you're a veteran.  Keep'em coming and glad to have you with us.  It has been a glorious day.

If your life depended on IU returning to the final four in the next four years would you hire Brad Stevens or Rick Pitino?

I don't understand the obsession with Fife. If he didn't play at Indiana he wouldn't be anywhere near the list on this board.

Here’s what I know. Our administration seems to be all in on making this hire as successful as possible, our boosters were convinced at whatever our prospects are that it’s worth shelling out $10m, and we’re not Nebraska football.

Pitino,  but it would also be vacated.

Dolson said many times today that he wanted to make it clear...this is not what happened.  He did not discuss names with our two benefactors.

CEOs can be trusted with their statements, right?

We are Nebraska football until we prove we’re not

I am new today as well: if you want to get rid of the "Purdue Jockstrap" moniker, I think you have post 10 times.

Thank you. Had actually stopped following the basketball team for the most part the past few years. Was pretty surprised to hear this news today. Hopeful to be able to get excited about the team again. Fingers crossed for a good hire.

Lace um up boys! Brad's a comin'! Most think it's a pipe dream but that's why it's gonna stun um all! Just got that gut feeling! Either that or I gotta poop real bad :/

No. I would stipulate that back channeling and feelers be put out to give me an idea of who wanted the job. If the names were guys I felt would make a difference, I’d open my checkbook.

Brad Stevens. It appears even the admin won’t f*** it up this time. McRobbie has gotten out of the way.

I think Scott shoved him the F*** outta the way!  Dude is for real!

We are Nebraska football until we prove we’re not

Tennessee football, IMO

To be fair, he isn't the only one who thought that. The vast majority of media pundits and many on this board thought he would succeed, including me.

which just shows that all involved should be taken with a grain of salt, and that Goodman is hardly a definitive authority on the subject

Rick Pitino if I’m being honest, but only if he’s allowed to do his thing. (No, not that thing)
