I don't know how to share it, but sporting news has an article titled indiana expected to interview big 12 former coach of the year. Inside several quotes from Bozich and great a hire it'd be and maybe his name is definitely involved. Can't remember exactly

Spoiler alert: It’s Chris Beard

Btw, he is just grabbing this name from Bozich’s potential candidate list

An excellent read. The reason it's so good is because it's based on unvarnished input from people that are actually in the real information loop.

Odom is clearly a name that could be considered; "fairly unanimous pick for the top spot" is a very telling line.

I brought up Alan Huss in this thread a ton of pages ago - I did so because he made sense, makes sense, and will continue to make sense. He's the living definition of 'lose the press release, find the right guy' potential if we hire someone that isn't a 60+ year old.

The La Lumiere and Culver connections are intriguing. He could be great and is only 46. He could be worse than Archie. It just seems like a crap shoot on nearly all coaches outside of a very select few.

Can we just get a coach who can win more of the “didn’t think we had a chance” games and lose less of the “we should’ve beat them” games? Is that too much of an ask?

If we have any games that we think we don’t have a chance going in, we hired the wrong guy…

Theres no substance in that article that moves the needle. 

Yup, just grabbing a name from Bozich’s potential candidate list. He even said it’s pretty much mysterious right now in the coaching search.

Well, at Wisconsin and at Michigan St seem to always be brought up every year as a loss in everybody’s preseason predictions!

I don't ever remember "they saying" Archie was a homerun hire. I'm sure Fred Glass was the only person who said that or tried to tell everyone it was. lol

MANY (media, fans, posters)  thought Archie was a home run hire. At the time Archie, Holtmann and Mack were the three hottest young coaches in the country and IU nabbed Archie. 
There are many examples of mid-major coaches being successful at bigger programs but unfortunately there are many, many cases of them bombing. We all know which category describes Archie.

I realized just how different Purdue and IU were by how they treated their religious zealots. I started my post-secondary career at Purdue. The fire and brimstone preacher was most often called "Brother Max" by the students there. 

When I got to IU for grad school, I remember one of my classmates telling me about some guy screaming at students who was called "Mad Max." I thought, "That's a weird coincidence." Sure enough, same guy, of course. I wonder what his schedule was at the different campuses around the state. He seemed like he was at Purdue A LOT during my 4 years there. I didn't see him all that often at IU...

He actually travelled on a circuit! He hit ISU as well (friend went there). My favorite story from him was that Jesus called him on the white courtesy phone at a Holiday Inn in Terre Haute lol

Expected to Pursue LOL . Beard would pack his stuff and be in Bloomington in time for Senior Day if IU was interested in hiring him
