I’ve had several PM’s so wanted to drop a quick line to the broader board. Love this group and fully intend to continue to contribute to the community, Im not going anywhere. (Sorry to a few of you) But I have been asked to quiet down and I’m going to respect that. Talked to another guy in the know and he got the same messsage. The things being worked out right now they want to do with less heat and smoke. I’ll give some more insight when I can. Think things should be pretty quiet until after the B1G tourney. All is well.

I assume this is related to Mark Turgeon

That says it better than I remember. Haha. I know a good tattoo artist if you need one. Also some realtors who can hook you up.

Drew 

No.  Coach 1 is not Drew.  Coach 1 is Pearl.  His stats are no greater than Cronin.  I think Pearl is more beloved because he displays positive energy and Cronin (like Archie) comes across as surly.

Do we think that Brad will need to use a chair cushion like Woody does next year?

If I remember correctly he said he was a trustee or someone close but he said sorry guys we don’t have enough trustee votes to get rid of Woodson. Quinn has the numbers. The next day we found out that Woodson would be brought back.

And 11 months later the guy we wanted to hire has a team that won 8 games about to win the B1G. It’s couldn’t be more IU if we had script writers lol

And Pearl is old. Way too old. I don’t see much interest in him from this board.

Might take you up on that, but I think my boys out here in Jersey can hook me up. GTL baby.

If IU blows the next 4 years, they can bury me face down in Dunn Meadow...

You know the rest.

If you go back to last year and check Isaac post he knows someone. The Fox sports thing was ridiculous though. 

I think all the likes on his posts got to his head and he got too far ahead of his skis.

Frankly if it's true that there is/was a deal in place with Stevens but they needed to turn the heat down, it makes total sense to release that statement to Goodman.

I'm not holding out hope. I believe it's gonna be Dusty and I will be very, very thrilled if/when that happens. However I'm willing to entertain the possibility we're getting Stevens. I just don't want to be fooled again.

When he posted it the first time, I thought he was serious but when he posted March 2nd again and fox sports, I think he was being sarcastic and ridiculous on purpose.

He likes to dip himself in paint in the team colors. in the stands painted orange? Imagine him painted red…. Creeepy. Halloween in Btown!

I was thinking does this person even watch TV. Does he know there are many sports channels. But you might be right.

I’d take Pearl in a heartbeat, he could be the stabilizing and return to relevance hire Woody was marketed as. I just think the Bruce ship has sailed. And the weird nepotism son in waiting thing if true would never happen here. I care a lot less about age than I do about getting us back into the conversation. I don’t wanna do a coaching search again in 4-10 years anymore than the next fan, but Pearl would win, win big, and it would be a media knockout. There would be nothing but positives other than no chance of 20+ years. Although the skeleton formerly known as Senior Pitino is doing okay and may coach to 90, so who knows.

I’ve been doing it since Archie was fired. It’s gotta happen eventually!

Any real coach would not want to be announced while the current coach is still on the job. That’s just respect to each other in the coaching fraternity. Jerry has always said before the NCAA Tournament to put the spotlight back on IU. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Jordy be the assistant GM for Brad. Hit the ground running.

Going to be a long month. Why did we push so hard to get good ol woody retired so early?  Even if it is not Stevens, it will take a long, probably longer amount of time before we hear anything. Like I said, I want to believe but I also really like the idea of getting May.
