General Coach Candidate News

[JSHoosier 21,378]

Turgeon hasn't been a coach since December of 2021. If IU hired him they should just shutter the program and focus on football, it would just confirm that they are truly deeply unserious about this program coming back.

Why hasn’t Doug Gottlieb been discussed more? Just think what he could do with our NIL!

Ok....so maybe Cronin doesn't look that terrible. Lol

It turns out all it took to get 30-40 pages in a day was for somebody to come in here and claim Mark Turgeoon is a serious candidate. 

This is where the Cronin psy-op comes in; once the fan base is introduced to the idea of a guy with one Sweet Sixteen in his last 15 years of coaching, Mick Cronin looks like a Dusty May-level grand slam.

They aren’t hiring Turgeon people.

What exactly are Turgeon people? 

They're not like sleestacks, are they? 

That actually might be kinda cool!

No, like I said, connection is via a mark connection specifically. 
 

And look everyone, I know mark may not excite a lot of the base the way others might. But he’s an accomplished college coach and those aren’t easy to find, and again there’s some feeling it’s a good fit from an intangibles perspective. 

I'm sorry. I've seen a lot of crazy stuff on this site over the last couple of weeks. Without having any special knowledge, I can't imagine that IU would hire a 60 year old coach, who isn't even currently a head coach, with a middling career record. 

They already did that, and they only hired him because he was a former great player 40+ years ago, and he was a horrible failure as a coach. 

I can't believe that people are taking these brand new posters seriously at this point. LOL

Mike Brey is a name I was told has come up but after last week I'm not believing anything I'm told anymore.  If he were a little younger I wouldn't hate it but mid 60s and it had been awhile since he had success at ND before he "retired"

I’m gonna actually head out to the pub now. I need a drink after entertaining this all. 

If they hire Turgeon this will be everyone on BTB

I like to think that The DMV is actually the Mark Turgeon himself trying to get the job and making a profile here to gauge interest to prove to Dolson he would be a good hire. Now he's sitting at the computer like this after reading the responses.

The thought of Turgeon almost makes that 16m buyout sound reasonable.

Just waiting on this

I like to imagine Dolson seeing a need to calm down the message boards by floating a Brad Brownell or Mark Turgeon every couple of days. Waiting for Pat Chambers to be floated on Wednesday!

I would guess we talk to his agent first to make sure there is interest. Once we have done that, discuss some numbers, after that we better notify Michigan we are coming for their guy. Just how I'm guessing it works

Yep. Everything goes through the back channels to his agent until the appropriate time (whenever that is).

Would he just steal Dolson's credit card or would he get his own?

Well if that's the plan, mission failed.

Plus, he still has some of those credit cards tucked away for an emergency...

A month of this left......

I think this is a Quinn Buckner psych-op to slowly wear down everyone so that Randy Wittman will look good as the next head coach of your Indiana Hoosiers. Give it time. You'll see...LOL

I was taking today off from the club.  But I'm going bar side to contemplate today's btown chatter. Could be a rough one Jersey.

I'm hearing Pat Knight is the leading candidate.  Now that is coming from my buddy that is a UK fan but I'm hearing it none the less.
