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.

The Stevens to IU stuff has been grossly overstated from the IU side of things in every coaching search including this one. That comes directly from a former Butler player you all know who is like family with Stevens and Schrews.

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?

Nobody that, in the short term, would entice me to watch the games. I'd take a pass until I saw real improvement.

NO WAY anyone would entertain leaving the Celtics for another job…

The irony being Stevens first boss and mentor leaving Boston and returning to Utah to try and resurrect them.

I never intentionally tried to take a shot at you. If I implied that, I apologize. I think that you post info as you get it.  Which is the same thing I try to do. Unfortunately the info I get is very vague and open to interpretation because it's coming from someone directly involved. Like I said, I hope I'm wrong about Stevens because that would energize the program and fanbase like no other. I just think we've moved on long ago. 

You’re not taking a shot, it’s just AH (Chris’s obsessive stalker, who seeks every opportunity to “prove a point” because he thinks only he is able to make the masses understand).

Lloyd

McDermott

after that whatever midmajor makes the best pitch to Dolson.

That would be incredibly optimum.

Here's to hoping that is exactly the case.
