General Coach Candidate News

[TTT 1,337]

Brad Stevens choice 1

Dusty May choice 2

Steve Alford choice 3 (going up in value if others are getting extended at current job)

Josh Shertz choice 4 (if background checks out).  He’s a great tennis player. Competitive.

I'm out... family night... dinner with the kids and grandkids... but just let me say... Woodson and Buckner can suck it...

Are you taking them to the General Store at Clint's Well?

The fact that it’s paltry just speaks to the fact he was never leaving Michigan and the original buyout wasn’t so he could bolt and save IU money like I tried saying over and over. Based on his own statement, this seems like it was literally just to pay lip service to an extension so the media would stfu about him to IU. Our chance was last season, we blew it, and we’ve got 2000 pages of FMW that says we were all right for thinking it. 

Blame f***ing Quinn Buckner

100% agree

Quit!  Dolson and IU can’t afford to risk this hire on a what if, too many years (20+) have past with way too much bad basketball!  McCollum can’t and won’t be the guy and Dolson won’t read your plea, so stop!

If it’s not one of those guys I think we tear down Assembly Hall and build a state of the art football facility. We’re a football school now!

I don’t think May says “no.” But if he does, I’m Beard and Drew. Yes, the university would need to do its due diligence on Beard, but let them do it. He’s a coach that would win here. 
Sadly, a Buzz or Cronin hire and we could be  back here in 3-5 years

My fear isn’t that we’d be back here in 3-5 years with Williams or Cronin, it’s that we’ll be just good enough to not be back here but no more…

Dusty May’s buyout is now $7.5 million per Norlander

Doom and gloomers come back.  Still 2 guys i hear at the top of most lists.

Dusty May was not the answer gentlemen. He has yet to prove himself at a high level. We need a coach who will continue what Coach Woodson has built.

SIAP

Slick Rick says he hasn't been contacted about IU (TBH -- I wouldn't have expected us to), but offers a suggestion: Chris Beard. 

When I saw the story saying he offered his choice, I thought for sure it would be Richie Jr.

If BS is off the table…

McDermott on a 3-4 year contract. If he wants to retire afterwards, give him a nice retirement package. By then the whole Beard situation will be clear and if he’s clean, give him the keys to the program. If not, look to extend McDermott

People are gonna start confusing Dolson with Mike Woodson with the way he’s been cooking during this coaching search.
