I am preparing for a Beilein hire now

Would love the Beilein hire and he was at the top of my list and ahead of Matta.  I like Matta but his offense was not always the greatest but  Beilein is a great offensive coach.  I heard people talk how detail he is in every little movement in his offense.

1) compete and win in the big ten

2) make the tournament

3) start making deep runs in the tournament

All of his former players said RMK never brought up winning the tournament as a goal at the start of the year.  They said all the focus was on winning the big ten and that is all they focused on

That's exactly right.  Control you conference.  If you're in the Big10 hunt every year, you're in the tournament (none of this bubble crap).  Then it's a numbers game.  Some years you'll exit early.  Some years you'll get to the sweet 16 and every so often the final 4.

I’ve lost faith in SD if he truly tried to hire Ohio states sloppy seconds.  Lame.

FYI...Matta was the winningest coach in OSU's history. Hardly sloppy seconds.

Do you guys sort of feel like the fact that the admin reached out to both Rabby and Osterman almost immediately to tell them the Matta news was a joke to be significant?

Yes it means the report was wrong and if it had actually occurred the athletic department would look really dumb

well that was exciting for 30 minutes ..... what's the next rumor?  

Are we having fun yet?

Then it's not a good plan...no due diligence?  What?  This just further tarnishes an already broken program.  

Well doing a physical before hiring some one is doing your due diligence.

Never. Trust. Sources.

If that's not apparent at this point, I don't know what to say. People are flinging crap against the wall just to see what sticks. Bottom line is this. Only 2 people know for sure what's going down, and that's Scott Dolson, and the coach he's in negotiations with. Period. This has passed the point of speculation and crossed into utter stupidity.

I'm at the point where I'd be happy with a Beilein hire.

Give us a few more days and we'll get another lap on Mr Toad's Wild Ride...

That’s my boy! Hire Lewis and several recruiters and call it a week.

I stand corrected. Beilein... okay I guess.

 

I’m cool with Beilein. Just get him a top staff. He would leave the program in a much better spot in 5-7 years.

Also just take everything from SI Indiana and Rivals with a couple heaps of grains of salt. Just saying.

Wide of the mark? Good, I don’t want Matta. 

I didn’t really want Matta either but I’d have rather had him than Beilein.

[tyappleg 3,170]

Dolson running the old Canary Trap?

[Iubravos 327]

Musselman is the answer.  I hope Arkansas loses this weekend and we go hard for him.  He may not be a big name for all but will have all the fans backing him in a year.  He is a really good coach and will recruit well too.

This is what I’m thinking.

Also who is John Rothchild or did people think it was John Rothstein of CBS reporting this.  The first I looked at this I thought it was Rothstein who is a reparable journalist but looked again at the name.

I highly doubt somebody in my graduation class (2020 it says it in his bio) has any sort of source on this. Also mentions that he thinks Trayce is a late first round pick and as much as I love Trayce as a player I have to disagree with that.
