Beard or Will Wade or we’re completely screwed.
Boycott everything IU including the football program until this is fixed.  People keep supporting IU and then are surprised that things never change.

Just so I have this straight if we don’t get Chris Beard or Will Wade you are boycotting everything IU?

For those wondering if it really takes him off the board since the buyout went to only $7.5M, after reading this article I'd say yes.

"I think it makes it obvious: I'm staying at Michigan," May told CBS Sports, adding, "I really wasn't interested in leveraging in negotiating" 

Other info from the article:

CBS Sports can exclusively report on the details of May's new contract terms:

• A one-year extension on the deal, which now runs through the spring of 2030
• An increase of $1 million annually in salary
• A pay bump across the board for the Michigan men's basketball staff
• A big increase investment for program resources, including Michigan's NIL war chest
• A buyout that will rise to $7.5 million

We knew this would happen. Only 4 left from my top 5 of Beard, Drew, Pearl or Billy D. Who’s it gonna be?

Hoping the Paint Crew can get it done... Buckner, Woodson and the program deserves to be embarrassed at home.

Yep. Told my wife the other day, love the Hoosiers but I don’t want a run, don’t want the B1G tourney, don’t want the NCAA tourney bid and don’t want an NIT invite. Just want this season done and over with as fast as possible so we can turn the page and move on. Anything else just delays the inevitable. Stick a fork in it and be done already so everybody can move on.

If it makes the crowd feel better btb is taking this a lot better than peegs (laugh emoji)

They somehow are willing to pay Rabby money each month… not the sharpest bunch.

Has to be someone really good.  Yes.  Beard or Wade or someone I believe is extremely unlikely.  Yes.

[rcbowla]

My updated and ever evolving list. 

1. Beard (I know)

2. S. Drew

3. McDermott 

4. McCasland 

5. Golden

Yeah that’s absolutely not a risk that IU can afford to take.

Here's my updated list:

1. Brad Stevens 

 

[TTT]

If it’s not Steve Alford just go back to a guy who was high on last year’s list.  

Josh Schertz turned Indiana State around in a couple years.  Indiana State played an exciting style of basketball and played hard.  He’s a baldy and give him NIL money.  He is a player’s coach.  Plus he’s smart.

Darnit I lost the bet to Chris, maybe!  If BS doesn’t become the coach, we can call it even. But darnit!!!

[rcbowla]

Seriously folks there's good coaches still available. Dusty was attainable so it sucks for some but Stevens was never happening. So if there were only 2 coaches that would have made you happy then you were destined to be unhappy with this hire.

[WayneFleekHoosier]

Welp. Lol


Cronin getting pushed hard. That’s just gonna be hard for me to enjoy.

Very few coaches out there that I’m genuinely excited about as far as making a top 10 splash.

Beard, Drew, McCasland, Bennett (if lack of Nil was his issue)

Not getting May last year (assuming we would have) legitimately frustrates me.

Indiana can’t get out of its own way. Firing Sampson was so dumb and our program acting like we are better than others while losing for 30 years sums it all up.

I fear very few coaches fit what Dolsen described. Cronin and Drew do.

Then next tier guys, but Cronin just isn’t a match. Plain as day.

It's going to be alright guys(and gals). 

 

[Hoosier987]

Don’t worry guys. Brownell is a nice guy. Strait laced. 0 baggage. That’s what we need. While we’re at it, let’s throw John Groce in the mix.

I think you are gonna be disappointed 

[Ryno6284]

If Stevens is named head coach, isaactor, behindthebench,  and gp711 will be on the Mt. Rushmore of btown banners forever!

No ifs, ands, or buts!
