General Coach Candidate News

[HoosierInParadise]

True story:  my neighbor burnt my house day twenty years ago (he was a pyromaniac).  I can forgive him and still not want him to be my neighbor again.

This puts it in perspective for me....sucks that happened to you, but good way of looking at this scenario. I agree it's probably best to stay away from Beard because we don't have to hire him to get his level of results.

You're  either a woman, like to argue or under the of 30. The "because of Knight" might make you all 3. 

None of those.  I am just not a POS that thinks what he did was OK.  I am a male in his 40s.  But way to go to show your true colors there…

The Knight comment…..We need a reboot of this program.  Just ditch the past and move on.  It’s holding us back.  That’s my point.  No one should give two craps whether a coach is associated with Knight.  It shouldn’t even be a criteria.

....see, that's what I can't get past. You absolutely hand Stevens the "Whole Box" of blank checks and say what else can I get for you? I can't see Drew, Otz or ANY OTHER candidate getting ANYTHING close to what Stevens has been offered. Am I way off here or in la la land? lol

Agree 100 percent. MAYBE you are willing to shell out a bit more for Drew (Because he's won a National title) but anyone else is gonna get top tier resources but are gonna need to also prove they can handle and deliver with those resources. BUT you do that like a final four type run? and at IU people would start writing checks left and right !

I'm hearing that Dolson has been having some serious behind-the-scenes talks with Chris Collins' representatives. 

Scott and the IU administration like that Collins is from a fellow B1G school, runs a clean program and has taken them to their first three NCAA tourneys. They think he can really prosper at IU with better NIL and easier admissions. And Collins thinks he'd be able to more at IU than at NW. 

Dolson, who knows his hoops, also thinks Collins' is a whiz when it comes to X's and O's. Plus, we just can't beat the guy, so we're looking to get him to join us. I wouldn't be surprised when Northwestern's season ends to hear an announcement of Collins to IU. 

OK, I completely made that up. Just trying to create a diversion from all this sordid Chris Beard debate. (BTW, I actually do think Collins would be a very good hire for IU).

But why?

I can’t imagine seriously asking someone why they wouldn’t want Chris Beard after the past 50+ pages in this thread. Lol

Not really. Here are Beard's records at Power 5 schools (omitting the shortened, final season at UT):

18-14 (6-12)

27-10 (11-7)

31-7 (14-4)

18-13 (9-9)

18-11 (9-8)

22-12 (10-8)

20-12 (7-11)

21-9 (10-7)

Take away a big year 3, and that's very Woodson-esque.

If I showed you that resume with any other name attached to it, people wouldn't get nearly as excited as they do when it's Chris Beard. And that's before we even get into the baggage.

This is not an endorsement of Beard (I am not a fan of the hire because of what I perceive to be untreated alcohol abuse problems), but the record of a coach needs to be judged in the context of the program it was accomplished at.

Just like I give a ton of credit to Collins, Brownell, Schertz, and Devries for overachieving relative to their school's potential, Beard's record is really good in context of schools like Ole Miss, and Texas Tech when he began there..

Trilly posting last night he heard so much random stuff regarding IU yesterday. Supposed to update this morning. 

If Trilly is so "in the know" I can't imagine him tipping his hat of Stevens to IU info this early. I can see IU getting a hold of him to try to quiet it down for a little bit longer. jmo

That's fair. Although I'd point out that McCasland's success at TTU suggests that it's not such a difficult place to win at after all, making Beard's final two seasons there more concerning.

Multiple small airports have small planes flying to a fancy part of Southwest Florida during spring break!

Just curious, what connections did Sampson, Crean, or Archie Miller have to the past??  Or to Knight??

Yes. People also say “you are what your record says you are” about Collins all the time. When context is convenient for their narrative, people shout it from the rooftops. When context is inconvenient for their narrative, people ignore it. Lol
