He is most likely going to Marquette

Nah.  He'll stay put before he goes to Marquette.  No reason to uproot the family and his Chicago ties for freaking Milwaukee.  He's got a good thing -- Chicago basketball generally sux and he's the hottest name in town.  I'm not even sure he'd move up the road a few blocks to DePaul.  I'll bet he stays at Loyola, unless a real program calls.

I went back on Inside the Hall and found the candidate profiles for the '08 and '17 search. IMO, I think the '21 candidates are much better and much more realistic outside of Calipari, Pearl, Donovan, and maybe Stevens. 

'08: Calipari, Pearl, Bennett, Montgomery, Barnes, S. Miller, Crean, Grant, Brownell, Drew, Skiles

'17: Donovan, Mack, Bennett, Holtmann, Alford, A.Miller, Marshall, White, Collins, B.Drew, Fife

'21: Stevens, Beard, Beilein, Matta, Musselman, Atlman, Moser, Fife, Woodson, Lewis, Cheaney

Oh for sure, I don’t mean to equate the two as candidates. Cheaney, honestly imo, shouldn’t even be in consideration. Moser at least is a current head coach who is having success at his school. I just think both guys are examples of coaches who wouldn’t change the current outside perception of the program. Hiring Moser would just make it look like we swapped one mid major flavor of the month for another. Hiring Cheaney would definitely look way worse, though.

With the exception of two home runs which I think we're on about an 0-2 count with...program perception is going to be increased through results. I, frankly, don't care about program perception just need reality. You may point to program perception and tie it to recruiting, thus results, but program perception is one of many-mild influences- on recruiting.

Yeah, love Cheaney and all but I agree- it's ridiculous.

I will say, I think your comparison between Archie and Moser is fairly lazy. They're actually very different coaches with very different systems, experience, personalities. You are correct they are coming from mid major but that's about all I can get down with.

Yeah, but Cameron Krutwig is a 6'9" fat center with a pornstache who won't be playing in the league next year.  Give him a little bit of due for maximizing what talent he had.

Hey, easy on my guy Cam.   :)

With like half our team in the transfer portal though, whoever we hire is probably going to need to remake the roster for next season. Poor outside perception of the program could make the new guy’s job harder in that regard. 

Adding to the above...you can actually make some pretty compelling pitches regarding vision to guys looking for a new opportunity- it can be more attractive than a middling situation at a P5 school. 

Regarding the transfer portal, I only know of 2 leaving for sure. It doesn't mean what it always has, obviously.

Something to be said about a coach that failed early, went and worked under Majerus and changed his whole coaching outlook.  People want coaches to adapt and here is an example of a coach doing that.   If IU hired him they would be hiring the new version and not the fired Illinois St coach.   Not saying he is the top choice but I would be willing to give him a chance.  He definitely wouldn’t win the press conference I’m guessing but then again that might be a good thing in the long run 

Coaching a IL State and Loyola is hard.  Those really aren't places full of basketball prowess.  I'd give him points for the success he's had at Loyola.  Not saying he's the guy, but a place like IU is a much easier place to attract talent.

Pretty good chance Celtics miss playoffs now. Levert back for Pacers and Bulls with a nice pickup on the trade. Potential for Celtics to finish 9th or 10th. 

So basically Brad sux as a coach.  Let's move down the list.  :)

All those years the Celtics had the Nets' lottery pick, and the Nets are above them now. Celtics fans can't be too happy with that. Not to mention they gave up the last pick for a player who's now playing for the Nets (Irving).

I'm seeing 2 different train of thought in this thread.
1 we need a home run
2 we need to hire now because 4 players are in the transfer portal

If #1 the names mentioned are still coaching in the Tournament. If #2 we are not getting the homerun hires. We would be getting either a retired coach or a coach whose team is done for the season.

What do you want

I want the stupid tournament to be playing today, tomorrow and Sat/Sun so we can go after those coaches still on the list (unlikely they all make the finals).

Because on the internet, Brad Stevens actually likes us.

That’s not the Indianapolis. That’s actually a ship called the USS Indiana.  My guess it’s the same class as the Arizona and Missouri but honestly don’t know

Ok. I will be THAT guy.

We finally fixed the Isaiah/Isiah thing... and now we've got "Cheney" instead of Cheaney?

Helluva fan base we got here, folks!

And people here commenting on James "Blackman" when he was with the team.

You are correct that is a battleship in the same class as the Arizona.

Well that should pi$$ a bunch of guys off based on recent comments. But that's OK, we all have our own viewpoints, and that's what makes the world go 'round.
