We found $10 million from two donors. That speaks volumes. 

Wasn’t the $10 million from one donor and the “other transition costs” from the second donor?

 just posting for first time today. @Chris007 has been spot on for a long time and I came over from HSN to see what he was saying and I know that my info may not received well since I am new to the site but I shared on HSN that CAM would be let go on Monday that same person shared with me that Dolson was willing to offer Stevens to become the highest paid coach in sports is what i was told. I find that hard to believe. He feels that SD has his man and IU will know this week 1 way or the other but for obvious reasons may not be able to share it for some time. Initially he felt it was Beilein but now he things that BS may be a serious candidate. I agree 100% with Chris I think it will be one of Stevens, Beard or Beilein and I would be very excited for any of the 3. I always take these things with a grain of salt but enjoy sharing even if wrong. Thank you and I look forward to this search and to posting more. 

None of us bat 1000. All we can do is share info that we hear if we believe it to be credible. Glad to have you. But just to be clear, I think Beilein is way down the list. Hope you continue to post here. This is fun, isn't it.

my two cents that are worth less. IF brad stevens does accept an offer to come to IU, do the celtics want him there still with one foot out of the door? 

On the other side does IU wait 4 months for stevens? I think the fan base would be restless after a couple of weeks without word of anything.

I think you do whatever your dream coach of the next 25 years wants to do. At least that is how I would handle it.

Hoosier Sports Nation got too excited and destroyed the site servers huh? 

Live view of the HSN server's processor.  I think we found the problem.

I realize I’m new over here as well but I can vouch for @Billingsley sharing good information on HSN and being a good dude as well!

If he doesn't work out, we're putting it all on you. :-) Just kidding glad you both are here

My list from what I know

1 Brad Stevens

2 Brad Stevens

3 Brad Stevens There have been talks from our people to his and this has gone farther than ever before. I can say that because it's never gone anywhere before. I'm not saying he is going to be the next coach. I'm just saying that we're going to make an offer that he has to think about.

4A Chris Beard

4B Scott Drew

5 Eric Musselman

I don't think we need to go any farther than this

IU is clearly a sleeping giant. Just as others have said, I too view this like Alabama after hiring Saban. Be back at the top with the elite as it should be

Scott & I are doing this so quietly that there aren't going to be any leaks unless I tell you on here. :-)

Your info is why I now have a user name and account as opposed to just being a lurker.

I would take your word over Goodman every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

Just wait till we hire a no name... the hamsters running this site won’t be ready. 

Stop it!! Don't bring that bad juju around here. It's rainbows and unicorns until Brad is hired

But that still doesn't mean we can just make him say yes.

Exciting.  I'm content that a serious effort is being made.  

Now, the next question, who becomes option b,c,d?

I like the confidence exuded by Scott that he will get someone worth all the effort.  I rest easy in that thought.

If we can land our white whale I'd agree; Stevens's name and history with IU resources would be amazing to see.  Can we make that play and land him though?

IMO he came out with a better job. Much easier to win at New Mexico than at Minnesota, especially with the BIG the way it is right now. Plus you get to live in New Mexico.

I do think UNM should have waited and hired Archie tbh

Fake News in sports is no different than national news with media. In chris007 we trust!

Completely agree! my point was:

A)  IU does whatever to get him here yes, more so on the side of what Boston wants. Do they want a coach that is halfway out the door

B) fans, recruits, players hanging on for 4 months without a coach is a tough ask more so players and recruits.
