All the chatter about IU being irrelevant?

Most of the National writers know what to do when they seek clicks.  Poke Indiana fans.  I put little stock in most of what has been written Guesses by:

Goodman

Gottlieb

Rothstein

Norlander

Wouldn’t worry about opinion or candidate list as most are not close enough for quality intel.  Stay with @chris007.  He is $

I would never mention any names directly, but some personalities have even tried to make a career around poking Indiana fans! I guess for some, sour grapes never end.

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

I heard Steele's seat is getting warm. Maybe he will sit out a year and take over Xavier.

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.

That’s encouraging honestly. I don’t take much stock in media personalities but..

We get Pizzalicious about once a week. My wife is from Westport and I took a teaching and basketball coaching position there around 2000. 

Hi billingsley. I used to have several relatives around Westport. Used to go to kisers pub every week when Fred and Donna owned it.

Couldn't you give us a  hint or something?  ;)

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

I didn't know anyone disliked Mark Titus. Or that was possible. He is such a fun dude and a great personality for college basketball imo

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.

I do really like the people- it's just that when you say Jennings around here, all I get are meth questions lol. We're really getting to know the local businesses now (Little Red Kitchen, Perfect Day Cafe, and Bohemian Donuts are our favorites)!

"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.”

In a month it's going to be I wasn't expecting Indiana to make me a 10 year 70 million dollar offer either.

That's what I thought.  They aren't going to come out and say they are hearing it's a possibility because it's such a long shot.  However, when everyone else is shooting it down so fast and making a mockery of it, maybe they are hearing whispers that it's not as dead as some think.

Their grandson and my son are very good friends. I can almost see the old pub from my house.

I am stunned.  The guy has mocked and baited Indiana fans for years.  If he has changed in the last few to a friend of the program, that is a significant shift, it must have been a survival move.  This dates back maybe 6-8 years.

Just goes to show, there's always someone out there with a completely unexpected take.

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.

On this, I heard there will be no leaks. There will be less than 5 people who will know what is going on before it is made public.

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

I doubt Coach Knight could or would be able to do that now....but man, that would be a heck of a pitch.

Because Indiana fans are honestly pretty easy to bait lol we aren't very good at taking jokes.  The amount of people who didn't get this joke was appalling haha https://twitter.com/clubtrillion/status/1371553773152178176?s=20
