IUCrazy2 Posted February 21 Posted February 21 28 minutes ago, BGleas said: Because Goodman is in the IU bubble to a certain extent with his daughter being a student in the Cuban Media Center, etc. Goodman crosses all the world's on this (college basketball, IU, NBA, Boston). He had some, "here we go again" tweets with the Stevens stuff right when the Woodson announcement was made because he sees the IU fan accounts, so he went and squashed it quickly. Possible. Also possible that Goodman saw all that and went to Stevens and said, "Hey, you talking to Indiana" and Stevens says, I am happy where I am at, while also talking to Indiana, because no way he is telling that jagoff he is talking to Indiana at that juncture whether he was or not. All that said, I doubt it is Stevens but that is regardless of who told Goodman what. I don't think he is plugged into anything at Indiana and if Stevens was talking to Indiana he has zero reason to tell Goodman that. thebigweave, IUwins0708, Chris007 and 3 others 5 1
Solsberryberries Posted February 21 Posted February 21 32 minutes ago, Chris007 said: The Rabjohns of the Michigan message boards says he thinks there is a 99.9% chance that Dusty is back at Michigan next season. I’m guessing he’ll sign that extension soon if he hasn’t already. As a lifelong IU fan and an Eastern Greene Tbird, this would be incredibly disappointing news. It seemed like last year was the year, and it was a punch in the gut to see him go to Michigan, but to not be able to hire him away… woof. I’m sure other candidates will be fine, but man is he a people person. He embodies Knight in that manner- remembers names, writes notes, visits people in the hospital and teaches his players to do the same. It would have been impossible for the people of Indiana to not support him. Perfect fit culturally. Dang it… cybergates, BannerVille, thebigweave and 1 other 3 1
BBTB Posted February 21 Posted February 21 Maybe I should check the football page ,but I am to lazy today ,so was the board aware of who the football coach was gonna be after firing TA ? Where you anywhere close to thinking a guy from JMU ? Maybe he has found another coach like CC for basketball Just trying to calm my nerves ,at least last year I had another team to watch instead of all IU that was Indiana State ,but now that is also gone so now watching my spouse and how much that team can play basketball ,while they were not good this year in football but my team was

Could be true, but from the Michigan fans I know, they'd tell you that the track record of Sam Webb (if that's who it is) is spotty at best. HinnyHoosier and Pagoda 2

I added my own personal opinion about him signing the extension. I’m not sure just glad it wasn’t me this time. mamasa, Home Jersey, thebigweave and 1 other 4
Popular Post JSHoosier Posted February 21 Popular Post Posted February 21 I didn't really buy the idea that May went to Michigan while waiting for IU. If he was waiting for IU he could've stayed at FAU for another year. IU missed the boat because they insist on giving bad coaches too long. Ryno6284, Woodsonshump, thebigweave and 15 others 17 1

If he was waiting for IU he could've stayed at FAU for another year. IU missed the boat because they insist on giving bad coaches too long. For sure. Because the leadership of IU very apparently has an issue with their culture/processes, etc. Because Quinn Buckner is corrupt. Because Woodson is a deluded egomaniac with rich donor friends. Because Dolson kowtow'ed to the powers that be, probably in the name of self-preservation. Too many people in positions of power looking out for themselves and not the university or basketball program. Sure feels like they need to get this hire right or risk the apathy growing/becoming permanent. Football school? MikeRoberts, Kentuckysucks, OKHOOSIER and 1 other 4

That is NOT elite. Yea, he coached a whole 8 games before being fired. Either way, there’s good news for Beard fans: given IU’s history there’s a good chance the job will be open again in 4 years. At that time, Beard will have had about 6 seasons to rehabilitate himself and prove to people his problems were a fluke. IU could hire him then, as I suspect that time frame will give people more comfort than what is basically a season and a half at this point. Home Jersey and Stuhoo 2

ronzo4IU Posted February 21 Posted February 21 Does anyone know if the BOT is the final word or is there a way to circumvent them if an AD/President really wanted to make a change?

Self is an elite coach but with his age and health concerns I don't know. That said the dude wins at an elite level. I don't hate the idea. But I seriously doubt he's someone that's on Dolson's radar at the moment. Seems like Scott has things narrowed down right now and won't deviate unless something significant changes. Chris007 1

LamarCheeks Posted February 21 Posted February 21 Despite being asked often (or never), I haven't opined much on our coaching search. That's because frankly, I have no clue who might succeed here. Like most -- I'd be 100% on board with Stevens (long, long, long, long shot) or Dusty (long shot). I'll get accused (correctly) of recency bias after last night's brutal takedown of O$U in Columbus, but the more I think about it, I could really get behind a Chris Collins hire. He's not my top choice -- but I'd have no complaints. Granted, his record at NW isn't exactly stellar, but give him better NIL and significantly easier admission standards, and I think he'd do really well. He's smart -- that Duke education, you know -- and wouldn't have any issues with the "fishbowl" that is IU. I don't know if we have an interest, but I would think he might -- he can't win a natty at NW; he could in Bloomington. He's 50 on the button, so he should be good to go for at least 10 more years if he works out. sirhoosierlot, Hollywood Mike Miranda, Dave from Dayton and 2 others 5
