No he is not to old

He is if our goal is to potentially land someone who is a long term option. If our goal is to just get better then it’s not an issue.

In all seriousness, do some of you sit all day in front of your laptop or are on your phone all day. I checked it for the first time around noon and there were 500 posts. I just now checked it after 3 hours and there was 200 more and it's the same people.
I'm disabled, but I have other things I need to do or enjoy.

My take: To a certain degree due to Covid, 2020 was sh*t and only now are there inkings of getting back to "normal'. From that, people have not been able to physically connect for quite a while and this community of IU fans needs an outlet to connect. Different strokes for different folks, but this is a distraction that is needed to have some sense of social connection. Also, again a COVID phenomenon;  more people are working from home on their computers than ever. So I imagine many are working, but can be on the message boards more since the boss isn't looking over their shoulder, so to speak. I could be way off base, but just initial thoughts from a teacher who has felt the stress of trying to teach "virtually" at times and all the problems that has gone with that. Don't be too hard on us man!

How sports are going you won't be seeing coaches stay 25+ years in one place.  Get Belein in here and give us a great 6 years and get the program back to where it is supposed to be.  You can't go right from 0 to 100 but you have to build up your speed first.

I said this in the Stevens thread, but my man would rather get paid 2.5 million next year to coach the Pistons than 7.5m+ a year for the rest of his life to coach IU. 

 

What do you call an ***hole from Detroit?

If one of names Bozich mentioned gets hired , we might as well say bye to Th guys on the transfer list. I don’t see them staying and I don’t see recruiting going all that well either.

Got his list? Haven't seen anything...

Same IU list as last night but add Keith Smart. Woodson, Cheaney, Lewis, Fife

Starts with "IU" ends with "guys".

This 100%. It's been a week and a half. IF they are truly the guy, lets go and move forward. We will know soon. 

IMO, we're not going with an "IU guy". Hopefully that's the reason.

A local?

[Dizz 323]

If we go ‘IU Guy’, I’m leaning toward Lewis, with Cheaney a part of the program if he’s interested.

All speculation, but I was just thinking that I'd put the odds at ~80-85% that the next coach is on this list: Beard, Beilein, Drew, Musselman, and Oats. 

I'm not sure your odds change much if you remove Drew, Beard, and Oats.
