Also I think given the trauma of Archie and Woodson people are forgetting how exhausting Crean was as a human being. This is something that the Wikipedia coaching records can never capture. What does it feel like for this person to be a character in our lives? Crean had some real positives. (Remember him taking McDonald’s to a person outside the restaurant?) But he was stubborn and defensive and awkward and honestly kinda manic. 
 

And he was inconsistent, and his trajectory was going down. Recruiting was tailing off locally and nationally. Juwan and OG were diamonds in the rough but we were all tired of an irritating coach who wouldn’t adjust his turnovers or defense and who also needed to find diamonds in the rough. 
 

Most days, I remember the good parts of the Crean era. But it was time to move on from him, and it’s worth reflecting on the legit bad parts too. 

Also, we were temporarily banned from the state of Hawaii due to his FT shooting display and abuse of the hawaiin shirt.

What kind of dentist is open on a Sunday? That's ridiculous. 

Busted!

Actually, my Sunday appointment at 2:30 pm is a lunch meeting inside Chick-fil-A.

I probably lurked for what seems like 10 years without posting. Every game, every off-season, coaching search etc. 

I had been for about 5 years, and I get a kick sometimes about what gets under people's skin on some stuff.

WHAT?!!?

How am I gonna properly feed those on duty US Postal Service employees?

Ah well; I guess I’ll just have to bring food for them to eat inside the post office.

Long term lurker here (look at my join date), What I'm wondering is Chris 007 is wrong more than he is right, then when he is called out he throughs a fit and threatens to quit posting and people kiss his a## till he comes back, then he posts stuff that is more wrong than right, but he is an "insider" that doesn't  know SH_T

 

Looks like the "sleeper cells" are waking up... not much of a "lurker" if you can try to sell that tripe... 

back to your cave, miner...

If that were true there never would have been a Goodman statement on Feb 14th with a long way to go in the season 

Really?  There was enough discussion on here and on twitter for that to have gotten to Goodman.  Given that we apparently went after him before and if Goodman knows him why not reach out to check for a comment.  Goodman may know that Stevens was not likely to go back to college and could have done this to laugh at IU or could have felt he was somewhat close last time and was looking for a story.  There was enough smoke for him to at least check it out

We have confirmed the appointment for Stuhoo.  Just answer one question:  Is it Brad?

Also, fwiw, Brad Brownell fits this criteria. 

Which school did he get the all time single season wins at?

It’s nuanced, but your tone could lead one to believe that the timing of Brad’s announcement feels off to you somehow?

Either his first year at Wright State 23-10 or 2017 at Cornell 25-10  or this year yet to come at Cornell.  

Attended some of his coached years at WSU here just 5 miles from my home.  And grew up on the east side of Evansville...I went to Bosse and he went to Harrison.

I’ll laugh so hard if Isaac turns out to be correct.  That would be beyond hysterical.

I'm rooting for it!  But mainly so we can have Brad!

It would be insane and about a 0.1% chance of happening.  Entertaining though.  He fully jumped the shark today.

That's six days in a row. Hova REALLY has some 'splainin to do now.

I agree.  He not only left dysfunctional lockeroom players for Archie Miller to clean up.  And from my perspective, IU administration would not agree to let Archie get rid of a few and bring in his guy.  

Zeller saved Crean's butt.  But it was time for Crean to go poof.  Similar to what happened at Marquette.

A great irony is that, had Zeller chosen Butler, that might have given IU the courage to dump Crean after a 12-20 season, in order to hire the generational coaching talent up the road in Indianapolis. If push comes to shove, I am glad that Crean got the chance to win after taking on the coaching job when he did. But Stevens would have certainly made the leap, had he been offered in 2011.
