Goodmans choice is Iowa states coach, said his buyout isn’t crazy, but then stated he’s not sure he’d like being in the Iu fish bowl

Not even close. This is the guy who was pimping for Louisville recruits...

Why did Louisville and UK pass on Beard?  
 

I know people have alluded to things. There HAS to be more out there about him than the general public is aware.

Hey all - first post here and joined at the recommendation of a friend. Little burnt out on Peegs right now with the general “sky is falling” that’s going on over there right now. Looking forward to the discussion. 

I've been on Peegs a while and joined here recently as well. The discussion here definitely has a different tone, which is nice.

IMO 0 chance Otz leaves ISU. He's spent a lot of time there. Wife likes it there. Just getting started. Thats where he wants to be it seems to me.

You joke, but not far from the truth!

Chris Beard is 14-6 in the NCAA Tournament.  He has never lost to a lower seed, never losing to a seed lower than a #4 seed.

Yup...The visit to Sisley is BAFFLING!

By all accounts it was a positive meeting, but why is that even happening? Given how Woody is acting behind the scenes this was an absolute shock. Trying to understand how that fits into this whole landscape

TJ Ball is fun, I’ll love that choice

But what is his record vs quad 1.. that’s all that matters from my understanding 

[Papacap 1,036]

I’m not sure I get the “IU fish bowl”. What do we do? We hire bad to mediocre coaches, pay them a **** ton of money, keep them around longer than we should, rinse and repeat. If anything, our standards have dropped to the point where if I were a coach, I’d be wondering why IU has put up with such crappy results for so long.

Afraid McCasland is in the same boat!

C’mon man.. “beard lasted 1.5 seasons at Texas”

he was 7-1 in his second season at Texas when he got fired. Him “not lasting at Texas” had nothing to do with his coaching. The dude wins

That's what everyone is saying. It's not his coaching that is the problem. But he, in fact, didn't last at Texas because he couldn't keep his nose clean. That's part of the job, too.

I’m home sick. My wife kicked me to the basement so she doesn’t get it. I’m sitting at my bar, cocktail, edible and watching Dusty & Izzo. Sky looks fine to me 

If I had your setup, I’d try to get sick more often

As your name directly implies, JustWinBaby. If and when we get that, the momentum will be phenomenal. I at least believe Dolsen is gonna try. We’ve got work to do.

Sure. There is absolutely risk with beard, no doubt about it. But he is an elite coach and I think he would take the job in a heartbeat

While i agree, Goodman was saying he doesn’t think Iowa state could pay him nearly the amount we would be able to. He had a compelling argument for him but I agree with you and don’t see him leaving either
