RE: Mark Titus

Mark Titus is a former walk-on at Ohio State, who grew up in Brownsburg, IN.  

He has the same pedantic passive-aggressive, pot-stirring personality of a certain @$$, who formerly played for IU, failed as a coach at Bowling Green, and has all the answers.  Whatever Titus is writing that involves IU is written to provoke, not inform.  Titus is a clown.

Why do we do this to ourselves?

Indiana Basketball man.. 
 

Not going to lie, a coaching search party is fun. The last one was great. 300 plus pages of us demanding I don’t even remember who.

Kudos to the screen name sir

Knight just called Brad....the General told Stevens it was time to come home.

I have not heard that number specifically. I  think you need to be at 7 million to get Brad

I heard pretty specific contract items that made the spidey senses go off.  It was pretty much the same from 2 people that don’t know each other.  But it was odd in that it wasn’t completely over the top and sounded plausible. Completely different than the last coaching search.  But another interesting tidbit I hadn’t thought of is with this one not coming from a committee, there will be more info out there.  This should be fun.

Here's a comparison..... Back in the day coach Knight rarely recruited players, his assistants did most of it. The "BRAND" was enough. That also got him in trouble later in his coaching career. However, if Brad came, I think the rigors of recruiting would come easy for him because many would want to be a part of what he brings, especially when he starts winning at IU and the BRAND is renewed......JMHO.

The last several years RMK did and that became the problem IMO. When coach still did most we had a lot less misses and kids that understood what they were getting in to. Yes if there is success the BRAND will deliver

Remember this gem?

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

Agree, although I can see Archie working somewhere on the East Coast, non Power 5 conference.  Somewhere in the American or Big East

I can't think of anymore more dissimilar to Dakich as Titus. He's an IU fan and he's an entertainer. Posting a meme is not "provoking".

Long history here dating back to Tom Crean years.  I am comfortable with what I wrote.

Dakich and Doyel both didn't shoot the Stevens idea dead in the water.  They spent a lot of time talking about it actually.  Yesterday, Dan said, "I'm telling Brad Stevens he needs to listen."  

Doyel said worst we will do is Beilein.  Doyel hates Drew, speaks of the Perea issue with burning passion.  Must actually be fully true.  

Dan actually went 10 minutes without bringing up Alford who would get his pants coached off 9 out of 10 games in the B1G.

"Brad Stevens tells us he is NOT planning on leaving the Celtics to take the Indiana job. "

That's the most non-denial denial, I have seen in a while.

 

A far cry from 2017:

“I don’t speak to the rumor mill or anything else,” Stevens, 40, said. “I’ve made pretty clear I’m going to be here. I’ve been asked about that quite a bit. And I’ll keep saying the same thing. I’m going to be here until the Celtics decide they want to move in another direction.”

Nice! I actually live in Elizabethtown, but hate to claim Jennings County lol!  I've lived here pretty much all of my almost 50 years!  Went to East, still go to almost every football game

I’ve lived in Jennings all my 70 years with the exception of my time in the military. While it is somewhat boring I like the slow pace.
I find most people here friendly.

What does your history have to do with having a bizarre Mark Titus take?
