Is it open mic  night at the comedy club?   Alford's not going to get a sniff nor is any other former RMK player. That ship has sailed courtesy of Michael Woodson and Quinn Buckner and probably Wittman as well.

IMO, if we "had" to have a former Knight player be the coach 4 years ago, it should have been Alford. But this wasn't about a former Knight player. It was nepotism- plain and simple.

Is there a link somewhere that I can watch/listen to the Goodman/Stevens interview?

There isn’t one, Goodman got a text from BS saying he was happy being in Boston and going to work everyday.

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.

I've wondered if maybe his family still doesn't want to move and he needs time to convince them.

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 “?

Seems incredibly happy at ISU. Talks borderline gushy about the place. Signed an extension, I believe, last year. Were he actually available he’d be my number 1 and maybe my 1 and only. Love him.

I'm pretty sure they said, there isn't any IU sized shirt that would fit him!

How about the winner of the Miss St vs Ole Miss game ne our next coach.

I have nothing better to do today, so theory time, but the Celtics (again) probably swooped in at the last second and offered him minority ownership. They did it with the Gm position back in 2021, so minority ownership isn’t out of the question.

Exactly, and at its best too

Which, quite frankly seems very strange to me because it seems like BS would do something more classy like address HSN specifically and say something like “I’m very honored that the Indiana fans want me to be their next coach but I am happy in Boston, etc. etc.”,  Instead of some Flippin comment texted to some random sports dude.

I...huh? "I'm happy in Boston." does not equal "I'm not a candidate for the IU job." So people just jumped to that based on Goodman's tweet?

I would say we're in agreement on that.

Plus isn't his wife a former player at Iowa State?  Can't remember which sport, and I think her side of the family are all around that area too.

Here’s the original tweet:

Of course when you read the On3 Article (or any other article) it only mentions that quote and nothing else.

What about getting Tony Bennett (NCAA Champion) to coach and then we hire someone as a GM to manage the NIL part that of the job that he didn't like?

Tony Bennett (433-169) 0.719 win % at Washington State and Virginia......and he's only 55.  Is it true his wife is an IU Grad as well, or is that part false?
