So, looking at the guys left in the tournament and adding Beard, Matta, and Beilein AND assuming it's not going to be any Indiana guys because that hire could've been announced by now .....

Oats (too expensive of a buyout)

Muss (Arkansas will match any offer)

Enfield ("dirty")

Altman ("dirty")

Scott ("dirty")

Mike Lewis (probably not ready at this critical juncture)

Beard (Texas)

Matta (passed)

Beilein (not long term)

it only leaves one name ......

I still say Oats and Muss are in play and money will not be the deciding factor BUT assuming it is this is where we're at: 

Porter Moser will be the next coach at IU

...... and that settles any Marquette is a better job than Indiana argument. Moser obviously declined to talk to Marquette or they wouldn't have jumped on Shaka so fast. Why did he decline to talk to Marquette?? Because he already has a job waiting for him.

God I hope not.

The crazier thing is that keeping Archie around would have been even worse. Indiana fans are actually paying attention to being involved at the moment. Archie already murdered the brand. I know everyone wants to be all "professional" and "nice" with him leaving, but he was absolutely awful in every aspect. He very literally killed the brand of Indiana basketball in just 4 years. There was no option of keeping him unless everyone was just accepting that Indiana basketball should suck. 

PS: Stevens is NEVER coming to IU. Indiana had a window and passed on it. Move on. We need to go after Oats and Shaka.

I found out who paid Archie to take a hike..

Shaka took another job about an hour ago. He's off the board. So now we need to find someone to come up with 12 million to buy out Oats, then we can only offer 3.5 million in salary so we will need another donor to add money so we can pay him a proper salary. Sounds easy.

I haven't been paying attention to the news. But that sucks. Always liked Shaka.

What took so long?

Peegs said today that there is chatter that IU may pull a rabbit out of the hat and people will be very surprised at who it is. This chatter started circulating within the last 24-48 hours fwiw.

[Trish 11,706]

Also heard about another potential coach who Scott was interested in.. I'll have to double check on that. Very unusual place. Be back in a few hours, gotta run some errands!

This has Pat Knight written all over it.....

[Iubravos 327]

If we hire Moser this will be an epic fail.

Dakich seems very happy about what he knows from Dolson.  Sounds like it’s an IU guy.

Not buying a thing. Dolson isn't talking to ANYONE about the search, but somehow, DD managed to get info out of Dolaon? Poppycock.

If Dakich knows anything, it did not come from Dolson.

Disregarding the typical 'oh he's rich, so it was him' logic, I've heard it was Cuban

Not much. Mosier, Cheaney, Woodson are all options, maybe Fife, Lewis, maybe someone still in the tourney. Players should be in the portal. Some people think that IU might pull a rabbit out of our hat in the next 24-48 hours. I think that is everything

Count me in as team rabbit.
