Not gonna lie, the "Banned from McNutt" tier made me laugh.

The “Banned from Kirkwood” made me chuckle.

How soon does Michigan try and extend Dusty with the most recent news?

Yes welcome, seems this board has grown a ton in the last few days.

look, I’m fine with Stevens if that is who we end up with but I think the obsession with Stevens by some is one, manifested by the fact that many have stated that he is Dolson’s top target and he might be in play and two, that human nature loves a good chase and he has been our chase for a while regardless of whether it still makes sense to or not.

Indiana continues to fight doing the obvious and that has led us down the wrong paths over and over again. You don’t always have to outthink the room. When Pitino, Calipari, Stevens etc wanted to come here ages ago we should have moved but we didn’t. When May, Pearl etc wanted to come here we should have jumped and we didn’t. When Beard and Few want to come here we should jump but we won’t.

Stevens hasn’t coached in college since recruits were in pre-school. As soon as his core left butler his winning tapered off and he bolted. He won early in the nba and then winnning tapered off and he bolted. He has used us as a bargaining chip now each time his contract is in doubt. Maybe he comes and is wildly successful but I have my doubts on both coming and being wildly successful, meanwhile watching coaches like Pearl, Few Beard compete for national championships elsewhere.

 

 

 

Give me Beard every day all day!  RMK guy and is a college grinder!  And a WINNER!

Stop spreading rumors here for the sake of it or else…….

That really irked me that mod did that on HSN. As someone who founded that original site, very, very upsetting. Makes you wonder why they have a lot less posters over there?!

Probably tomorrow night if they haven’t started. That’s why I feel good about where we’re at.

If he signs an extension then he was never really a serious option for IU unless IU has already announced a coach.

That’s why I’m good this time around. Stevens, May, Few, Drew, Beard. We’re getting a winner.

I’m ready to bring some good news. Scott is going to do this right, we have plenty of money and assurances that the NIL money will be there.

Are we up from 25% yet?

Scott asked him last March if he was ready. He said not until they won the championship or had to break up the team. They won.

Just kept talking to him, his family, his dad who played football at IU. Stayed in touch as a friend. Then picked back up the conversation around Thanksgiving all the way up to now. He wanted some assurances about NIL, which we gave. Plus a 10 year deal means their set up for future.

Those are some pretty specific details to just be made up on the fly by someone who doesn’t know what they’re talking about. Just sayin’

Armond Hill no doubt.

I still can't see May leaving his team last year for a 1 year rental at a P4 school if he knew the IU job was going to open! The only way I see it is if Scott told him prove yourself if you want this job, but that doesn't really make any sense to me.

Not sure why he thought the IU job would open.  Portal was kind to IU and they were ranked to start the year.

The only way I see it happening would be if he told Michigan that if the IU job comes open and they call me, I’m going to take it. I doubt very seriously that happened. Michigan is a good job, I think when we kept Woody, May interpreted that as we were not that interested in him because last year he was ready to move!

Very well could be, I just don't see him leaving UM to take our job!

If we have Stevens locked up, how long do you think that fact can be kept under wraps? What would be the little signs here and in Boston that something’s up?

Woody wears a green tie vs Michigan tomorrow? Brady Stevens wears red sneakers while he sits on the bench for ND’s next game? Lol

[BleedCubbieBlue 1,579]

I am not trying to start a war here but I would like to know what it would take for everyone who doesn’t want Beard to change their mind (I am also in this camp)?

Would a Ray Rice type of mea culpa do it or is he persona non grata no matter what?

Mods can delete this if they think it is inappropriate. It is just something I have been thinking through and I wanted to solicit the RESPECTFUL opinions of others.
