Although still a “Purdue jockstrap”...

Chris Beard?  Sense he may have already had some of his best years.  He would scare me as a possible miss.  Yes, he has had a nice run in the tourney, but does not seem to have parlayed that into recruiting momentum with sustaining strength.  They are a rather average 17-10 this season.  Tough conference, but still.  Stumbled down the stretch, too. 
 

Although not popular, I would be disappointed with Beard.  

That's kind of my take on Beard, as well. Plus, I've read from people that have watched way more of TT than I have that his offense isn't great. I think he's be an upgrade from Miller (not hard) but I don't know if he is the answer that would have everyone happy in 5 years or so.

Additionally, I think Brad's salary in Boston is < 4 mill per year. If we offer a competitive offer it will be significantly over 4 mil per year. Given the current situation in Boston, there is no way the Celtics could justify giving Brad a huge increase in salary with the fans (they are talking about getting rid of him...)

My dad has said this for years..he thinks the national media hates Indiana because of how Bob Knight was. He probably hurt their feelings long ago. A majority probably don't want to see Indiana win again. I bet Jay Bilas and Tim Brando are in that category. 

To my point, I saw Matt Glensek of the Indy Star essentially say the same thing. The national guys love to hate on Indiana.

Kirkwood would be shut down if Brad Stevens agreed to come home. 
 

Spoils would be had. 
 

Another fish would be stolen. 
 

COVID would vanish worldwide. 
 

Chris would order catering from Buffalouis for our tailgates and not from BWW. 

I don't ever do BW's

This was his original contract.  He was renewed in August 2020

He was extended last year but the extension terms were not disclosed. It's likely he got a nice raise. Maybe up to $4.5mm?

That is not his current contract. He re-negotiated and extended it for "undisclosed terms."

Anyway, while he would be extremely well-paid at IU, he will not come for money. It will have to be primarily because he wants to return to the college game, and at IU.

I believe that was his initial contract with the Celtics he has since signed an extension that the terms have not been disclosed.

He extended last year and they never released details.

If the salary figures we have heard are true, he would have to be willing to make almost half to stay in Boston instead of moving back home (near his and more importantly his wife's family).

hmmmmmm....

Edit: I guess we have to beat an undisclosed figure...

Well I think the 5-6 of us that posted at basically the same time got the point across that is not the current contract lol

What does this even mean? Can he give examples? I think we’d throw a parade on Kirkwood if we made the NCAA tournament. IUPD would be shooting off tear gas like it’s 2002. Expectations have never been lower.

I'm guessing that his comments are probably not so much about throwing a parade for making the tournament as they are about throwing tantrums after losses, complaining about coaches not winning big instantly at IU, and constantly clamoring for coaching changes. A possible example is that Holtmann reportedly had absolutely no interest in considering the IU position the last time around. Of course, he could be thinking of entirely different things. There's likely some truth to what he said, this fan base certainly has it's share of entitled people who lack perspective but Bilas is not the best source for those comments nor is his suggestion to hire an IU guy helpful. 

Expectations are currently low, however, they will almost certainly rebound to irrational levels in short order if an even reasonably decent hire is made.  

[ElectricBoogaloo 4,301]

He would have to look at the totality of the job in front of him - completely revamping the Indiana basketball program AND the HSN servers.

 

(sorry Stu)

What is interesting about it? Imagine if Alabama football hires four posers in the post-Saban era and gets absolutely mediocre results the next 20+ years. Do you think the Alabama fanbase might be a little upset?

Having high expectations for a blue blood program is not "cannibalizing" the program.

easy there chief. I said it was interesting as in, i do not know what to think about it, especially from an outsiders point of view that usually seems to pretty knowledgeable. 

it is "interesting" that we had a debate about this on HSN and the vast majorities' opinion , im sure it was unbiased, was that the fan base hasnt done any harm to IU. 

[Trish 11,435]

Brad really calls into the radio show and talks to these guys weekly. 
 

That’s insane to me. Part of the business similar to Archie but man.. he has to hate it.
