General Coach Candidate News

[woodenshoemanHoosierfan]

Here is my new outlandish thought. Stevens won't come this year, but says if he ever gets fired or when his contract ends, he will come. Dolson then approaches Bielien and talk him into taking over the reigns until BS can come with Bielien become BS's Phil Martelli like at Michigan.
Outlandish I know.

Why do we need all these new threads? Impossible to keep up with it IMO 

I liked this one thread but I defer. 

Because as much as we all hope we get Brad Stevens to be our coach, there are a number of other fine candidates out there too. 

As for that OSU guy, not sure what to think of that information. Most of what he posted was stuff that I had heard through following the NBA. I remember hearing about the Celtics having locker room issues during the bubble. From reading Celtics forums I saw that some players were upset about how he treated Gordon.

Impossible to keep up with pertinent information separated by candidate as opposed to this 400+ page s**t show? Hard disagree. 

Disagree with your disagree but I’ll agree to disagree. LOL

What a time for HSN to be down. They may never recover. This board seems more fun anyway, maybe it’s just the timing.

I was thinking the same thing bro.

I’m scared that if it’s not Stevens, we’ll all go to Hot Topic and go Goth.  But we’ll do it together.

Again it’s not a done deal, things are looking better than they ever have to get him(doesn’t mean we will), enjoy the ride and even if it isn’t Brad take pride in knowing they went all in for him and they will for their next candidate as well. And no I’m not saying he isn’t coming either, just want to make sure most of us embrace the new coach whoever it may be.

I agree, my HSN friend, spot on. Any way we look at it Dolson’s not gonna settle for anything less than a big name....It may or may or may not be Brad, (I pray it is) but it will be someone very successful! Dolson and Co. are not wasting 10+ million on a buyout and millions more for an unproven mediocre coach.

Right? I was very opposed to Dolson becoming AD and was quite disappointed when it happened. I was wrong. Even if IU doesn't hire Stevens I was wrong. Just getting a donor to pony up $10M to fire Miller and another to help pay any costs for the new coach to fix the dumpster fire the program has been was enough to prove me wrong. If he's going as hard after Stevens as everything seems to indicate, I was very, very wrong and I'm ecstatic that I was.

Whoa. Dolson should have been "the guy" for years... He is a true Hoosier and understands what fans want. He's doing things now that Glass would never do, and it should be known that Dolson didn't agree with a lot of glasses decisions. It's rumored that Dolson's comment "I will not be putting together a search committee" may have been a direct shot at Glass lol. Dolson is a Hoosier through and through.

Dolson may end up being the biggest legend out of all of this.  I seriously can’t believe I just typed that, but I’m glad I did!!!

We always thought it would take one great coach to bring IU basketball back to its rightful place, but in fact, now I realize it takes one great AD with a clear, ambitious vision and deep understanding what Indiana was, is, and should be all about. We needed an AD who doesn't back down to any naysayers.
