what issues does UNC have that we have? firing a legend? 

Reputation issues that come from having a coach with DV problems, among other issues like drinking.  The risk that he does something again at UNC, which would embarrass the school and get their AD fired.

He is just a tough guy to hire for big time programs.

[GP711 1,012]

This is accurate. This hire is Scott's hire.

I was told after looking at all the evidence they had, he was a no-go. Like a folder full of stuff on him.

Was it the Penske file? That would be bad.

Beard lasted 42 games at Texas which probably isn’t the outcome Texas or Indiana would have wanted when hiring a new coach.  Passing on Beard 4 years ago was the farthest thing from “malpractice”.

Ole Miss is 16-6 with Ws over Kentucky, Bama, and UL.... if we passed on him 4 years ago, don't even investigate more because we think we know it all? Yeah that's just stupid if he's actually begging for the job. Complete malpractice.

No, not really.. if we are passing on Beard BEFORE his arrest? lol like what does that even mean? 

My guess it was a singular influence that passed on him.

 

[Certified Sunshine Pumper 10,577]

I would make Nate Oates say no, after Stevens says no. 

Oates would be my #2

18-6 at this point…

But hey, Scott was just a powerless stooge when Mike Woodson was hired, had his salary raised, was retained for a fourth season, and then was kept for the rest of the fourth season. Don’t worry, though, he totally has all the power now and will make a great hire.

The arrest IS PROOF IU MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE BASED ON NON-PUBLIC INFO YOU DUMMIES

 

Also people in CBB just openly talked about the drinking and other concerns before the arrest. You didn’t need to pay a search firm 6 figures to know it was out there.

Would love Nate as a #2 but hard to see him leave Alabama.

You said it was malpractice to pass on him four years ago but he then went on to last only 42 games at Texas. I’ll bet Texas wishes they had passed on him.

I said it's malpractice to already have him eliminated.

Just to pile on here, the dental assistant where I go to the dentist here in Evansville has a cousin married to Dusty May, and my dentist is a very small time donor from what I can tell and went to IU Dental school with a son who was on the IU baseball team.  That being said, she didn't have any information from her cousin on any family plans to move back to the Bloomington area.  My dentist didn't have any information either as I asked him just before he shot me full of Novocain before the "small" cavity he was fixing.  I tried to find out some information for the group. 

My wife teaches with Dusty's sister-in-law. She used to tell me some things but she has been on maternity leave the whole year so far. I asked if they were coming to the Christmas party which I was told she and her husband were. Then they never showed up. Their doing everything they can to not share info this year.

Hell with it, give us Buzz and let’s roll…

No you didn’t.  You clearly said it was malpractice if he was passed on before he got arrested. See below………
 

because beard wants the job. It's a hard no from the athletic department side, he was passed on before het got arrested. 

the bold is malpractice, if true

So Iowa the run and gun team fans would be happy with the slow pace?

If they start winning I doubt they will mind the pace.

I have read the same things were being said when IU hired RMK because we were known as the Hurrin Hoosiers.  It took awhile but our fans started to the slower pace and the defensive minded coach. Also the longer RMK was here he adapted his offense and we routinely averaged around 80 ppg

If you were truly dedicated you would show up at their house with a suitcase, with clothing to last up to 30 days, and get some info.

So is this an indication that you've been know to badger folks for information? I don't know anyone who does that? :)

I have no problem with Buzz. I like him more than Cronin.

The only real thing I’ve learned on this thread, during this coaching search and the last one, is that a lot more private planes fly from the Boston area to Indy/Bloomington than I would have guessed.
