General Coach Candidate News

[DWB 1,098]

I don't want to rain on you guys Stevens parade, but if he's not the next coach, you guys will need a shrink to bring you all off of the ledge.

Does the leprechaun wear #44?

When I read the 1st post I LOL'd because I thought you were referring to Archie as the leprechaun - he brought it all together by being hired when BS wasn't ready, and did bad enough to get fired when he (hopefully) is.

not 44 but a number like it

If Danny and Brad know for sure that he wants to come to IU, wouldn’t Brad be onboard with coming ASAP to get things rolling if Dolson was able to get him off the hook in Boston?

So we have leprechauns, money and more riddles. Can someone explain what is going on to me like I'm 5?

I read an article on SI that say one person that checks all the boxes the administration wants is Keith Smart. Could he be a fringe candidate.

It's been posted multiple times in this thread... huge fan of "The (original) Shot"... but not of Smart as the guy.

55, as in 5.5m per year?

To change gears here because I still don't believe it'll be Brad. Although I will say it went from like 5% to 20% for me......still not good odds. Anyhow I'm going to start putting a couple coaches against each other that seem similar in some way and I'd like to hear who you guys would rather have. Let's start with:

Nate Oats vs Eric Musselman

@Chris007 are you referring to Mellencamp?

Will need somebody to identify all players wearing 00, 11, 22, 33, and 55 please.

For me it's Oats and that's simply because I believe he's got a style that will attract big time recruits and I question Musselman's recruiting ability outside of the transfer market.

By the way, I didn't see Chris Beard at Assembly hall, did see a couple of familiar faces. 

Also please don't get me wrong I don't think there is a deal getting done or an announcement or anything like that today, tomorrow or probably anytime soon. Just to be clear, but I still love Dolson and I believe in him

Is Archie back as our coach? He needs a hug. As Bardo would say..

Other than Stevens and Beard, these are my next two favorites. I would say Oates by a smidge. But the talk of IU not being a good fit for Mussleman should go check who the football coach is at IU and see how the fan base reacts to “colorful” coaches

In honor of Saint Patty's Day...a familiar tune...for Mr. Ainge.

Oh, Danny Boy...the fans, the fans are calling,                                                      To fire Brad...and send him packing home.                                                          The Celtic myth... has died and shots aren't falling.                                          It's you, it's you...must do this now...alone.

How many times did you have to shake to get that answer? :)!

I don't want to derail, but this reminds me of when we were choosing hotels to stay at for the Gator Bowl last year. My buddy said he preferred to stay farther out for cheaper, I told him I'd flip a coin...heads = downtown close to stadium, tails = suburbs for cheaper. Sent him a video of it landing on heads, so downtown it was. I never told him that it was the 7th video I recorded of me flipping the coin b/c it kept landing on tails but I wanted to stay downtown. Point of the story.....keep shakin' that 8 ball and flippin' that coin Scotty D!!!

Chris Beard vs Scott Drew

This one is tough for me but I think I'd lean Beard because I think he could really rebuild the brand and his personality would be a great fit here. Why this one is tough is because Drew has proven he can take nothing and make it very good. He has also landed and utilized elite recruits which Beard really has not. May not be any of Beard's fault but it's the reality. Still lean Beard though.
