General Coach Candidate News

[sweetpain 546]

There is a 0% chance IU would hire Beard. It takes a mutual interest which isn't there. That makes it as unrealistic as Stevens. 

And this is why we will continue to suck. We need a proven coach for this job.

From what I’ve always been told by the one source whom I consider to be reliable, Stevens met with a few prominent figures at IU over dinner WHILE the Celtics were in Indianapolis to gauge interest in which he emphatically told them no thanks. This actually happened while Archie Miller was still employed.

After Archie was fired, IU offered up a Hail Mary contract to at least say they tried knowing full and well he was going to reject it. Stevens to this day still denies that offer was ever made.

Who knows what happened, but he’s not here and not ever coming here and you just don’t turn that kind of money down if you’re legitimately interested in returning college. Just like as an athletic department, you don’t go from legitimately making an offer to make BS the highest paid coach in the game to turning around and hiring 62 year old Mike Woodson 48 hours later. Theres no way Dolson went from BS to spinning the wheel and landing on Mike Woodson like that.

IU drew up the contract and terms that the Stevens asked for. IU met with his agent (his wife) at a booster house in Florida discussed the deal. IU was under the assumption they had a deal. Tracy said she would give it to Brad to sign when they got back to Boston. Within two hours it was announced he got a promotion from the Celtics. I can tell you the booster, where they live and anything else you want to know.

But also hada mod call me a liar on here so believe what you want.

Going from the smoke of Brad Stevens to hiring Mike Woodson was some of the most anticlimactic stuff to happen in this past decade. What a freaking bummer that was. 
 

 

Because that was the plan all along. You don’t go from willingly spending $10mil/yr on a coach to not considering anyone else who doesn’t even possess a year of college coaching experience. A lot easier for (most) the fan base to finally move on from BS once they actually hear no. BS was never coming here.

Brad Stevens wasn’t elevated to his current role w the Celtics until June 2nd, nearly 3 months after he supposedly turned down $10mil/yr.

There are plenty of those around who aren't women beaters. In fact, there are plenty of coaches that can win championships who aren't named Chris Beard since Beard has 0 NC won.

People can choose to believe who they want.  I know who I choose to believe. I remember hearing pretty much the same thing on campus.  Not from insiders or anything like that but what you described was the big rumor going around.  I kind of have a problem with your last sentence but not with you.

Chris Beard will win multiple national titles before he retires, just a matter of where.

I hope not.  He could also get fired again or worse.

It wasn’t 10 million a year either. It was 10 years 70 million. He told the Celtics what was offered and Ainge told him he was retiring soon. 3 months later as you said he was elevated.

So Stevens went from all but being the IU coach, to Ainge telling him he was retiring, to getting elevated behind closed doors all in the span of 2 hours? lol

The man crush you and a few others have on Beard is really something to see. He's not that good of a coach and he's a POS individual.

So far he has 0 NC won. I disagree that he'll win one. More likely he'll get arrested again.

1 full season at a P5 school with single digit losses. That's it. 

I'm done talking about Chris Beard. F**k him. He won't ever be IU's coach so no reason to talk about him anymore.

If anyone is ever around Isiah or Fuzzy ask them. They were in the room with others.

If I had a daughter I would want to keep them away from people who love Beard so much. It’s really creepy.

I’m sorry i just think anyone reporting on Steven’s and IU really doesn’t know anything about the situation.   National people, local IU beat writers or people on a free message board.  My opinion is that only a few people would know the details.   I probably could have worded it better but that’s how I honestly feel about it.  As you said people can believe what they want

Took over 12-18 UALR; went 30-5 year 1 and won NCAAT game

Took over dumpster fire TT; E8 year 2 and OT away from winning the national title in year 3

Hired at Texas; ranked #2 in the country at the time of firing for a team that was a game away from the F4

Took over 12-21 Ole Miss; 15-2 and nationally ranked w 9 new players in year 1

And you want to talk about double digit losses? You’re delusional.
