Imagine listening to Dakich if Alford is hired and he has any type of success. kill me now

Then again, any chance that DD's ego shrinks back to just "huge" if we do hire Alford and he craps the bed?

I'm not a fan of DD at all, but I don't hate him to the point that I would sacrifice another 3-4-5 years of IU basketball to see him eat crow...

And that's just one of many reasons why Alford should NOT be the next coach at IU.

I started as GA after graduating. Now I have my masters which most coaching jobs require. 

Having to have a degree to go coach is incredibly stupid. You're teaching basketball. Not a class.

The student section will be BAD! 

I'll only be a distracted fan.  I'll try to let myself become a fair weather fan.  We will see how that goes.  I feel defeated and it's only been 8 days.  I need some real names to get me enthusiastic again.

I don't think the 7 million was for any coach. 

Agree...booster(s) probably willing to pony up some cash for a Stevens...but not for someone less proven.

I agree with you Wayne. I let myself fall for Brad Stevens and honestly my expectations for anyone else but him are drastically bad.

I wouldn't sacrifice anything. I would root for Indiana just like I always have.

I would simultaneously hate hearing DD talk about it.

Simple as that

Armaan in the transfer portal... Need someone quick to stop the bleeding.

Franklin transferring. He heard Woodson was coming huh.. 

Rabby and a few other talking heads say that the move is exploratory and Armaan could remain with IU.

If Woodson is honestly under serious consideration, I'd ask why not Keith Smart.  Former IU player, former NBA head coach, highly respected assistant, and 6-7 years younger than Woodson.

He's younger but his coaching resume is a lot worse than Woodson's.

This was my initial fear last week when the Stevens train got started. That the possibility of Stevens would ruin our expectations of any other coach (regardless of how good). 

Of course by Friday I had drunk the cool-aid...

I’m thinking that someone in the athletic department is leaking names. The question is are they real names under consideration. I would think Scott would be keeping a lid on his assistants or keep specific information withheld from them if they really are that chatty. I think Scott probably is smart enough to keep things that are real under wraps.

I thought the athletic department staffers had their panties in a wad because they were being kept in the dark? Both statements cannot be true if the names being tossed around are actually being considered... either they know or they don't...

It's like testing the waters but come on, every big time program will be texting him by 3PM today.

Mussleman is already meeting with him at Buffalouis probably.

It makes sense, just as long as we don't hear the senior Mr. Franklin mention "it's time to be selfish".

Ask Jawaan Howard about him, though.  NBA "resume" is about a lot more than wins and losses, especially if you're trying to translate it to college success.

I guess I'll just hop on the Woodson train. Let's just get something done boys. Anything will be better Archie. 

That is the mentality that got us Davis and Sampson...
