Hilarious!! He's going to beat that horse till the 27th at 11:59 pm. 

then at midnight he will say, I meant 3/27 2022

Interesting because all the IU media folks saying that wasn't true. If that is the case and they offered Matta...hmm

Which is why EVERYTHING should be read or heard with SKEPTICISM and not BELIEVED right until official.

That's crazy talk guys.  Brad isn't coming ever.  He's perfectly content in a job where his subordinates earn 5x what he is.

If the hire isn’t Stevens, Beard, Drew, Musselman or Oats, I’ll be pretty disappointed

I don't want the guy that jumps on the table and says "look at me" after victory ---- I want the guy that tells the other team "get the **** outta here".

 

I'd rather have a guy who doesn't feel the need, and has the maturity to not do either. Give me someone who knows how to act like they've done it before and will again, without the "look at me" moments.

Coach Stevens thinking, “Man, Kyrie, you need a tic tac!”

I want Phil Jackson to come in to teach our walk-ons the triangle offense

10 days ago when this roller coaster journey started, those were my exact thoughts. After all of the craziness and constant rumors, I’m still right there. Stevens. Beard. Drew. Musselman. Oats.

random dude on twitter say Nate Oats to IU is gaining traction. He knows nothing probably, but I like to think he does! 

Bring on Nate Oats!

Well I just emailed my recommendation to Mr. Dolson about 20 minutes ago. Oats was my recommendation so it makes sense that it's gaining steam.

I'm not too proud to admit that I am getting impatient and anxious.  But it certainly comes from a place of caring about the program.  I'm also in for the long haul regardless of who it is.

I do like how he’s consistent. I like consistency. I really don’t think it’s over with Stevens. That comment about being skewed still intrigues me

By walk-ons, you mean team, correct? :D

that'll change when Brad's fired and ends up coaching the Pistons, where the players only make 3-4x what he does

T White get the #$%& out of here!!

Sorry, couldn't resist. There was a pregame kerfuffle where I think the LSU players were barking quite a bit. Wade is an a$$hat. They totally needed to be told to get the #$%& out of there.

I’ve wanted Oats ever since I saw him call out Coach K and tell Will Wade to get the f*** out after beating him for the conference title. That’s the kind of energy I want to see from our coach. 

The only bad thing is he apologized for that comment about Coach K

Right there with you. I want them to get it right so patience is key, but I don’t want it to drag out for the team and getting in transfers lol.

I totally get that.  But it doesn't stop me from worrying about that possibility more every day that we have not signed a coach.

It seems that many on here want a coach whose team is still playing, but want to get it done before that coach's team is eliminated. You can't do that. Patience folks.

Maybe it’s just blind hope, but for a while I thought that maybe this whole thing is just a smokescreen to give Stevens time. However, the 27th really wouldn’t make any sense at all.

I hear ya T White and I was being a bit dramatic. Point is I want someone with serious passion for winning, which I believe both of those guys exude. But putting aside what I want for just a brief second, let's consider what the recruits want ...... interesting how it seems to point at the same conclusion
