I want to say for all the people watching from the outside, not on BTB that I have no idea if we will get Brad Stevens or not. I like where we stand but I am not certain about anything. I also can't put a number on what I think the chances are. It's all a process and we are letting the process play out. I don't want anyone getting their hopes up then if something happens and they are crushed, it's my fault. I felt bad last time and don't want it happening again. Let's hope it works out differently this time. Just a FWIW. Whatever I post is what I'm hearing at the time. I don't expect to hear anything for a little while. 

Blah blah “let the process play out” blah blah. Gosh, maybe you and Kathy aren’t so different after all... Haha

I will enjoy reading the rumors and conversation here but truthfully have no idea who the coach will be until it’s officially announced. Hopefully it’s at least by the time the portal opens on March 24. The sooner the better obviously. Curious to see how they build their staff.

Well with the trajectory of this season we may miss the Big tourney which means we could hire the minute after Senior night speaches.

If we somehow don’t make the big ten tourney i will be severely disappointed lol

I thought we were at 6 this season if not a little more but I could be wrong. It would be s first though :-)

Had heard $6m as well and that it could have been more if requested. We’ve got deep pockets for “NIL”.

I want us to win every game but that hasn't  made much difference.

Bart Torvik's AdjO/D for the last four seasons. If Stevens says no, I think there's a real good chance the next coach is one of the six candidates below (sans Woody, of course.)

These are the numbers I know from the couple of contributors I know well. Ballo, Rice, Carlyle =2.5m. Leal, Galloway =900k.  (3.4m)

A conservative guess on the rest. Mgbako, Tucker, Reneau, Goode  (2.5m) Hatton, Cupps, Newton, James (500k) 

I'm confident it's not less 6m.

unless you are the 76ers

[Hoosier987 1,456]

Another food for thought regarding Cronin. You never know...but the Cincy job could open up too.

[Iufan71 9]

Todd Golden anyone???.....seems like he could be similar to Brad Stevens trajectory down the road. Though he does only look like hes 12.

See in softly pro-Buzz from his tier of candidates; not my fav but I think a good choice.

This really speaks well of him. My two questions, one from what’s above and one lingering:

1. Can we get the guy a real offensive star to get those O #s into the top tier?

2. Is he gonna leave a pretty good spot at TAMU?

yes please, very much want him.... just got cleared of a stalking incident though and has an assistant being investigated, too... I'd have him higher than many names that have been shown. UF is ROLLING

Given that players were willing to come play in Mike Woodson’s system of all things, I think we could get players to play on the moon for enough NIL. 

If you look at big ten players and their athletic ability compared to most of the SEC teams it isn't even close so that is why I asked. To me these coaches style of play is better with long athletic wings and guards and you don't see much of that in the big ten

My #2 option, ol Pete...

He has a shelf life of about 5 or 6 years before he moves on to the next spot.
