General Coach Candidate News

[Capt. Crimson]

FAU isn’t Michigan, and he came back to FAU for another year after signing that extension. Did Dusty sign an extension with Michigan because (a) he’s happy at the Big 10 school he currently has tied for first or (b) because he wants to keep the chatter down until he leaves for IU in a month.
Like, let’s be serious here… 

I said devils advocate.. lol.

I don’t think it would happen. Just responding to saying he likely signed because he wants to stay for a long long time. Leaving 1 year into a 10 year deal isn’t a long time.

@Chris007 Here's my question:

If the situation actually was (and I take all these rumors very, very lightly) we offered Brad, he countered, then everything went silent.

I have a very hard time believing we wouldn't agree to whatever he wanted unless it was something like renaming Assembly Hall after him.

This all seems positive. What am I missing? 

Facts.

That’s fair.  I wonder if the chants were the opposing high school’s fans or not.  But regardless, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows and you make a good point.

One offset I didn’t mention is the coach gets paid many millions here too… that can take the sting off a little…

Crean mentioned this factor as well, lol. 
 

He sounded so relaxed and comfortable in the podcast and I kept thinking, man, where was this guy when he was coaching. But maybe he’s grown, and maybe that’s the pressure of the gig, too.

I will go a step further and say that a couple of people who had to go back and find more money said they wanted a guarantee this time that if they found a few more million to throw on the deal it wasn't going to be a no. From everything I heard they got that. That was the morning of the 14th. Then everything took off till Goodman in the afternoon. 

My sources haven't said much since. I have heard other people saying different things but it goes in cycles. Every time you hear something good within a few hours you hear something bad and vice versa. 

So who really knows?

You realize that JY has posted since this meeting SS was talking about happened right.

....I believe it was Isaac.

One thing I will say about Isaac is he heard things that no one had heard. That's why I was agreeing with him on some things. Until he named a date, time, and channel. But before that, he had info in real time that I was hearing from the non-IU side. I don't believe he is located in Bloomington if he has any ties to the real Isaac Torres

He’s posted but hasn’t changed his tune, right?

Thanks.  If this is how it played out, I would be surprised if Brad wasn’t reasonable in his counter/ask.  And he knows better than most people as a GM that if someone meets your ask it’s a deal.  We shall see!

Interesting, interesting.

Like this post if you're a smokescreen, Chris.

As far as I know, he wanted a shorter amount of years but a higher per-year salary, an assured abundance of NIL each year, and a certain amount of money for the assistant pool.

OR every time you hear something bad, something good happens. Reverse psychology at its finest

Let's assume that Stevens is the next coach for a bit.  Is anyone here worried about the expectations and if he can really live up to them.  He has been out of the college scene for several years now. Will the fan base give him enough time to get things right or will he need to produce in year 1.
