General Coach Candidate News

[coonhounds]

Hey - we might have a chance with Stevens for all I know. But the most clearly obvious explanation for a trip to South Bend, 3:15 minutes from Bloomington, is that a parent was visiting his kid during the school year and got to hang out with one his absolute best friends Micah as a bonus.

I don't like this terrible explanation! It may be the case though

So Stevens will be Notre Dame's coach...and IU gets Micah Shrewsbury...

That would be a double nutcracker.

Let's just say that it's not going to be Stevens, May, Drew, Beard, Pearl, Oats, etc. Take away those names, who do you all feel are the 5 most likely candidates outside of that list?

Mark Turgeon

That's as big of a reach as Cody Zeller becoming a gm or assistant coach because he's been tweeting more about IU and went to a game.  

How is that a reach lol?

So just to recap: we have heard this morning from people who claim to have some sort of inside information:

- It's Brad

- It's a small name coach who will be announced next week

- It's down to 6 people and Mark Turgeon is one of them

- It's going to be an African American candidate

 

Anything else I am missing?

The cracks are cracking but which cracks are the good cracks and who is just smoking crack?

Brownell or Mark Few

Rick Pitino Jr not sounding as bad as some of the suggestions I've seen.  Ugh.

No kidding.  Makes me warm to the idea of Chris Collins even.

If he were not on a Celtic plane or one owned by someone affiliated with IU that would be a little telling yeah?  

If not a Celtics plane and if not an IU affiliated plane, then not sure what that says. It probably says nothing. Maybe was just visiting his kid. 

The fact that he was decked out in ND gear tells me he most likely wasn't scouting the game, was there as just Dad. 

He could have been scouting elsewhere earlier in the week and then swung by to see his kid? Who knows? Could he a ton of different things (including an IU thing).

So I’m not saying Brad Stevens couldn’t be the next coach at IU. I’m just simply stating that going to his son’s game, which every father would do, isn’t a very good indication of what’s going on. Now if Jerry, Chris, RtZ, and so on, say Brad had a sit down with Dolson somewhere, or even a zoom call.  I’m all in!

Did you see RTZ post from like 3 hours ago?

Down to 6 candidates. MT is one of them. 4 of the others are names I haven’t seen mentioned in this thread. 

Even MT thinks that's funny.

Chuck Surack is a major supporter of the Jacobs School. Not sure he is a major athletic department booster. He also owns an aviation company, so putting someone on a private plane is not a major thing for him to do.

Surack is also a Northern Indiana native and a major booster of Notre Dame.

So you're saying Stevens is going to replace Shrewsberry at the end of the season?

Either Jerry has news that he feels he can't share or he hasn't heard anything.  I doubt it is the second one is the case.

I just think it's funny that there seem to be a lot of people who have only posted in the past couple of weeks and pretty much just in this thread with their 'inside info' are accusing people who have been here for a long time of doing it for 'likes and cred'.  This isn't a popularity contest.  While we have people taking shots at Chris, the one thing I know is he will be back here even if it turns out his Intel is wrong.  The new insiders....probably not so much IF their infor was incorrect and were just here for the likes and cred.  We know DMV won't be.

There is a reason that Chris would be combative as people take shots at him.  People forgot anytime the info he has provided has been 100% accurate and just focus on when his information didn't match the final result -- not even that the Intel was bad, just that it didn't turn out the way we wanted.

 

Thank you appreciate it. Also, no one else takes the shots I do on a daily basis. Probably just means I post too much. We all want IU to hire the best coach possible.

Fudge that noise. That's how we hired African American (except not) Kelvin Sampson.

This is troll music.

I think the word you're looking for is "minority." Minority.

Person of color would also have been accepted.

It stands to reason that one takes the shots most often when they’re over the target.
