rayl456 Posted February 15 Posted February 15 What was the reason that we think Otzelberger is not a good candidate? I can’t remember if it was a “he won’t come “ or a “we can do better “?
ronzo4IU Posted February 15 Posted February 15 I would personally like to see us get a younger coach who could make this place his own and develop some history instead of going for the instant win category. lillurk 1
Bowhunter Posted February 15 Posted February 15 I would be happy if we looked as good as Wisconsin does. Gaard did a heck of a job. He hey can even play fast now days. lillurk 1
lillurk Posted February 15 Posted February 15 Just now, lillurk said: We can debate them until we’re blue in the face but given the criteria Thamel outlined, I don’t think Byington, Schertz, or McCollum are likely shortlist candidates. Byington is the only one who hits both sitting high major head coach AND has made a D1 tournament. Not an argument about who’s a good coach, just that those two criteria probably mean pining for one of those is a waste of time. Conversely asking “why would he leave the job he’s in?” helps rule out some others. @Stuhoo mentioned Oats and Golden; I do wonder if Golden may desire a change of scenery or “fresh start” but it’s a good heuristic. Now, maybe the answer is also in Thamel’s criteria: consistent, top 10 nationally NIL. I don’t know how e.g. Florida compares there. This is also why I’m skeptical of Buzz, TAMU can really spend. Michigan can too, though the longer any contract extension drags out the more optimistic I would be about May.

I can’t remember if it was a “he won’t come “ or a “we can do better “? More the former, people think his wife won’t leave, as she was a star at ISU. He also has a pretty sizable buyout. IU should see what’s possible though. BannerVille 1

Can't worry about a few who hate him Sent from my SM-A146U using Tapatalk I honestly trust what Dolson and Whitten and the search firm decide. If they say his off court stuff is fine then I’m good with it. I get that he made mistakes but people change and research would be done excessively on him because of it J34 and IUFAN1976 2

Chris and AP are both trying to get more information (Seems like a lot confusion on the IU side), I haven’t seen any RTZ or JY comments yet.

Yea, seems like they are trying to get any information, I think Chris is hoping this is a smokescreen. I don’t understand the whole waiting until Monday to sign a contract. Maybe to avoid the media if there was leak during the All-star break? Maybe more time to think about it before signing? Who knows. Scotty R, lillurk and J34 2 1
