Maybe we won't hire one at all and see if anyone notices. 

We tried that four years ago.

My mind is almost always on basketball. It’s kind of my job and I’m fascinated with coaching searches and how AD’s handle them.

Kind of your job?  What does that mean?

I would be better with it than just Woodson, but that is never going to happen.  Fife has a great place at MSU right now and can wait on Izzo to be done.  No need to move laterally to IU. 

Stephens is the coach in waiting at MSU from my understanding

This is what I’ve been saying for a while since he’s the associate head coach.

Well if that is the case then that changes things.  Still not sure I see Fife taking a lateral move.

You’re right I didn’t realize that changed.

He is but he isn’t viewed as the next head coach.

Sounds like we still can’t land any big fish, Just give me John Belein with Michael Lewis associate head coach ready to take over in 4-5 years and let’s get rolling.

I forget... How much head coaching experience did Izzo have when he was hired at Michigan State?

How many times or how many people can catch lightning in a bottle? Not absolutely convinced that Izzo was "lightning in a bottle", but you get my drift.

I think if we don’t hear anything by the weekend it’s probably not Woodson (thank God), probably someone who is still coaching or just finished .

Snow just said he got a text from someone in the hoops world that said Moser hasn’t gained much traction with IU but there is growing chatter that Calbert will be the guy. He said he hasn’t vetted the information but it is interesting none the less.

If you know how to coach basketball, then you don't. Don't need a degree for it. Just stupid standards for no reason. 

Seriously? Sounds a lot like the Bob Knight conundrum... he was melting down at every turn, punching cops and throwing LSU fans in trash cans all while demanding that the players toe the line... If you want respect,  you have to show respect. If you expect disciplined players, the coach has to be disciplined... going through the process of earning a college degree is not difficult, but it does require some discipline.... It says that you submitted yourself to the process and, some would say, rigors of doing the work to earn something.

My wife is an admin at a local D-1 college... she needed a degree to get that job. Any monkey can type on a keyboard with/without a degree... but it shows that she submitted herself to something and followed it through to completion. It speaks volumes about character and commitment. It's not "just stupid standards for no reason".

It said Franklin met with Dolson before entering his name in the portal today which makes me think we might be some time away from getting a new coach. If someone was going to be hired in the next day or two think Dolson would have mentioned that to Franklin and let him speak to them before entering his name.

I don't know how much Snow knows. He said Archie was staying the day before he was fired.

I take anything said by Snow with a grain of salt.
