Chris Beard. 

Beard's recruiting method as GM:

1. Liquor them up and get them to commit while trading shots.
2. If that doesn't work, beat (choke if necessary) them into submission.

You have to. This can't go on forever.

....Brad is a professional, a smart man and knows that a decision needs to be made one way or another. At the end of the day, it's buisness.

NO thanks.

So, just for giggles I looked it up and February 26th is National Carpe Diem Day. Hopefully, Scott and Brad do so and seize the day by announcing that we have our next head coach.

Unfortunately, it's also National Tell a Fairy Tale Day, so there's that.

As far as the GM role, assuming it would only be for basketball, football would have their own if needed? If so, this might be a good spot for Fife. He seemed to have great recruiting connections, and would bring him back into the program as a potential successor when Stevens decides to step down.

Except he hates the NIL stuff.  Have to have a GM that embraces it I would think.

For years, whenever I'd try to text anything with Hoosier in it, HoosierReb tried to auto-populate lol

The GM is basically a recruiting coordinator with a bigger title. The do all the things the HC doesn't want to do and the assistants don't have time to do. 

Has any names leaked of who Brad would want his GM to be? I could see him bringing someone from Boston with him or someone from one of his Butler teams that’s a great basketball mind.
