Can we have a Coaching Candidate discussion thread and a separate Coaching Candidate news thread?  Like links to credible sources and such only

I think if you guys are expecting Drew, I think the only one we’d get is younger brother Bryce. That’s me throwing a random name out. Sure he sucked at Vanderbilt but he landed Darius Garland over IU if I recall. That season hurt after DG went down after like 6 games. 
 

 

GCU has done well under B. Drew. We could certainly land worse candidates. I'd actually prefer him over Scott, just not a believer in S. Drew at IU for whatever reason

I challenge Someone make the case for May using only words that rhyme with May

 

 

Make a case for Dusty May you say?

There are many details to seriously weigh

He learned from Coach Knight who turned many away

Dusty won a title in Conference USA

He reached a final four held in Houston’s sunny rays

Dusty has given Wolverine fans many happy days

His teams really like to shoot the trey

Dusty was born in I-N-D-I-A-N-A

And if the Hoosiers can provide suitable pay

It is a place he is destined to return to one day

Great point above @DSUMMITT but I also see it as a great evaluation tool for certain coaches, such as Dusty May. "Can you effectively recruit an entire roster in a single year?" Dusty is one of the biggest winners from NIL new coaching jobs, whereas people like Shrewsbury at ND has been hurt from lack of success in navigation of NIL era roster rebuilds. AD's and committees will have to use great discernment in deciphering whether it is the coach struggling with NIL or university regulations/lack of funds causing the failure. 

Good point on effective roster turnaround  - I think UM, UofL, and UK turnarounds have really made Shrew on the hotspot whereas even 3 years ago he would have had at least 4 years before hot seat was mentioned (his cubbard was bare at ND imho). ND has some tough admittance as well (son entertained the idea of going - decided on IU but it was almost a very expensive choice) so did that effect what he could get from the pool? It's burned UM in the past.

Considering Indiana had to go down to #20 on the list last time says a whole lot. 

#20? Woodson was only on one person's list...

2x B1G Championships in 4 years, 3x S16 in 5 years. Yogi, OG, JBJ, Robert Johnson, Troy Williams, Hartman, Ziesloft, Beifeldt, Bryant, Vonleh, Hulls, Oladipo, Watford, Zeller, Elston, Roth. There's the resume, send the check - See you in the sand pit this summer! 

300 page playbook but couldn’t beat a 2-3 zone with 6 1000 point scorers. Did less with more until Woody came along. 2 hour pre game walk thrus at the end of seasons that destroyed the players. Confirmed his true coaching chops at UGA. Ole Tommy Naismith sure does know basketball.

I'm told his daughter is more likely to go to Notre Dame than come to IU. But she is ok living in Indiana. 

We hired a pretty meh women's soccer coach here whereas ND has a very strong looking program.  I could understand that

I think we should be pretty excited to have Cronin honestly. He will be better than what we’ve had in a long time.

Woof.  lol.

RE: News Thread - We do but its buried about 5 pages deep on this board and hasn't even reached the 2nd page yet because there really is no credible news out there.

 

 

 

(just kidding for those who might actually go looking for this fictional thread)

They might be somewhat marginally better than last year, they're both ugly though.
