BRING BRUCE TO BLOOMINGTON!

Guys, the Beard stuff shouldn’t need to be explained this much. Everyone knows that he is a great coach. There is so much more involved. Our NIL resources are a huge advantage. You take a huge risk in losing big donors when you try to hire a polarizing (bad guy) like Beard. Make no mistake, you do the things he’s done and you’re a bad guy. This isn’t the Bob Knight era anymore. Doesn’t matter if you like it or not, our resources will be what makes this job more attractive than the last 2 times around. Keep the donors happy, win, keep the money flowing. There are plenty of other coaches that can win besides Beard. It’s a public university. They just aren’t going to take the chance because they don’t have to. 

We shall see. Depends on if we start getting turned down. I mean if we hire a guy like bronwell while passing on beard nobody can complain if things go south.

If you had a choice between Brad Brownell or Beard with baggage, I can't imagine you don't take Beard with baggage...

15 people would have to turn down the job before either one of those guys is given a second look.  They aren't real candidates beyond a message board.  

Stevens said no, but May, McDermott, Cronin, Williams, McCollum, McMillan, Few, Oates, Pearl, Jay Wright, Shaka Smart, etc.  The list of coaches you approach before on of those goes through candidates that would not say no.  Heck, it wouldn't surprise me if Alford is higher on the list than either of those guys.

Brownell and Beard are candidates only within message board speculation.  It's not real.

If they end up hiring Brad brownell, then it was risk they should’ve taken

Why do you think we would hire Brad Brownell?

I'd be good with it except for supposedly wanting his son to be coach in waiting.

I think where I have a problem is let’s say our insiders are right and he’s actually taking the job it’s silly to me for him to be like I’m not a candidate and a week later takes the job. Also people were saying Dolson and crew seemed happy but I just don’t see that us hiring Stevens would be the only reason they would be happy. People even laugh and joke around at funerals. 

But not immediate family or others directly involved!

Scott's at home flipping thru the white pages in a damn phone book thinking to himself, "I gotta find a Brad that will take this damn job!"

Had a lot of work to do today and then the first post I see is talking about hiring Brad Brownell. God help us all. 

After the last 25 years I'm pretty sure the basketball gods abandoned us.

I think we would go with our best bet midmajor coach before Brownell.

So now this board is going to Implode because one  guy who has been wrong so many times says something about Brownell. Some of you are so gullible and wanting info you will believe anything. I can promise you that Dolson isn't going around telling everybody around campus what his plans are. SMH!!!!!

What are you all even talking about?  How delusional are you??

We're Indiana fuggin University.  We run college basketball.  I mean, even the rumors of us hiring the GM of the NBA champion seemed real enough that he commented on it.  We've got massive NIL, best facilities in the world, most intelligent fans.  

And you're all trying to hire coaches from tiny schools?  They're not like us.  Some coach from Iowa State?  Where even is that?  Drake?  That's a Canadian singer.  Clemson?  Do they even play basketball there??

All I'm saying is we deserve the best.  

For the first time in my life, having a hot sister is paying off.  She attracts rich dudes and this one has connections.  Rumors has it that UNC knows that we're on the prowl for a new coach and they know they're not as good as us.  They're going to give us their coach.  I think his name is Hubie Brown or Davis or something.  I'm sure you guys know him.

So there you go.  Search szn is over.  Give it a couple days, I hear Hubie is a big Presidents Day fan so expect the signing on Tuesday.  Probably 3:30.

This is a lot of fun but I’d rather fast forward to posting about what IU men’s basketball head coach Dusty May is doing to build our future come April or whenever

I have no clue who we’re going to hire. But the posters that are saying that we shouldn’t hire beard because we don’t need to are jumping the gun. Let’s see who the hire is before we decide we can just skip over beard.

I'm totally on board with this. Also helps with irritating Illinois because they hate him. So taking Brad Underwood or hiring Bruce Pearl would make for some great game day environments with them.

Im not saying we shouldn’t. Im trying to explain why we won’t.

I don’t think we are hiring Brownell and not sure where you got that from my post.  I’m just discussing the idea because it’s fun to do.

[OKHOOSIER 4,519]

Pretty close to crossing Oats off the list if this keeps up. Let’s see if they comeback. 

[J34 1,540]

If we're not a good enough program anymore, where we can't get a Stevens, May, Pearl, Oats, Drew, Golden, TJ, or McDermott(maybe few more), then we've solidified ourselves as "once a blue blood" program.

Top money for a coach/coaches

Top NIL money

Top fanbase(pro or con)

The money to upgrade facilities where needed?

We need a homerun -Brownell is far from it

It's not imploding....but it is not talking about Stevens anymore...just like you wanted before.
