You gotta admit…GCF is freaking relentless on defense.  He gets through screens like they’re nothing to him.  

And when GCF sets a pick on offense…the guy he picks is dead.  Amazing how he does that.  SMH.  :)

Stealing Underwood from Illinois?

Listen…I get why people don’t like Beard, I’m simply saying that regardless, there are plenty of people here that would support him. Refer back to the poll taken on this site…and Woodson was atrocious, but I also don’t think he’s as good of a coach. 

A whole lot more people would support almost any other coach than would support Beard. Beard would fracture the fanbase the way others wouldn't. Lots of people would be unhappy with some of the other names on the list but not to the same extent that they would be with Beard.

I agree...Beard would win and win big.

Based on what? He's won only about 54% of his P4 conference games. That's winning big? 

If he didn't have a connection to Knight, people wouldn't be so high on him.

Beard isn't going to happen.

Brad Johnson at Bethany College in WV?

Would be the end of the program.  I don’t buy that at all.  No way Dolson is that stupid.

I'd hope not, but he gave Woodson a 1m raise for what should be bare minimum expectations.

We could definitely do worse than Brownell, but whooo boy would that be a let down. But after the last 25 years also the most Indiana Basketball thing we could do lol

My prediction: We get Stevens ... 

... in 2055

After turning us down six times in 30-plus years -- he agrees to make his long-awaited, much-anticipated return to the Hoosier state. 

"At 78 years of age, I realize -- I'm no longer a Masshole, and am ready to come back to Indiana and live out my childhood dream of coaching the Hoosiers," Stevens said in a press release.

Before leaving, Boston throws him a massive party! 

[TTT 1,380]

So after all the speculation is IU now back to Brad Stevens as the next IU men’s basketball coach?

You wash your mouth (fingers in this case?) out with soap. That’s a hard nope nope nope.

Bottom line: If Scott Dolson hired Beard, it would mean he did his homework. And I’d trust that.

"did his homework" along with a very strong sales presentation and close of Pam Whitten.

[Hoosier987 2,824]

I’m pretty sure we would all unite against Brownell. That would be an awful hire. Look at the Clemson message boards. They don’t care if he left. Some are even hoping we take him. Wow. That’s a disaster.

We better save Woodson's raised seat...

That would be the opposite of making a splash. Gross.

I don’t know what happened in the negotiations but it always seemed like this was a horse trade to me and in exchange he got the right to pay any termination fee in payments as low as $1M a year; those two things were added to CMW’s contract at the same time.
