General Coach Candidate News

This is the most I've learned about Davis...never knew he wasn't necessarily thrilled with succession and only wanted to defend the Deep South states and not expand the CSA beyond those..

[rcbowla 8,156]

Someone that has been brought up but not talked about much that could be a candidate is Chris Mack

I'm currently reading Lincoln vs Davis... enlightening read so far (I'm 500ish pages in)..read a chapter, check this thread, rinse/repeat...

Lincoln knew how to use his height to his advantage but Davis was pretty good in man to man.

Beard posting in this thread, especially going back 5 hours to respond for no particular reason, will be met with an insta-hide. Thanks.

Just curious how Beard has his own thread and Stevens doesn't? lol 

[Scotty R 3,303]

I was listening to 107.5 just now and they were talking about Stevens and his contract with the Celtics. The host said he has heard the Brad has some equity in the Celtics. He has heard that once the sale of the Celtics is final that Brad will have a payment coming to him. The stipulation is that Brad has to still be an employee of the Celtics. If this is the case and if the amount is pretty substantial Brad probably isn't leaving until the sale is final if at all.

Another history guy here, 1832 is one of my favorite years. Any guesses?

Oh yeah. In Eighteen Hundred Thirty Two Columbus sailed the ocean blue.

Davis...as a soldier...was MUCH better prepared mentally to fight while Lincoln made a huge mistake trusting McClellan for far too long.

sorry on the subject change BTBers..

Because Beard discussion turns into nothing but an argument over domestic violence and becomes something entirely sperate from basketball, and Brad Stevens discussion doesn't.

Discussion on him turned extraordinarily toxic in a hurry last night. Needed to break it out of here.

Might be better for our moral high ground depending on position.  *ducks*

Now that's the first real interesting piece of Brad rumor in a while, I am guessing there is no way to verify that fact, but if true I would guess BS to IU is well and truly cooked (likely is anyways, but that could be coffin meeting nail).

Because the Beard discussion in this thread once the spaces from last night was over was derailing the thread and people were going back and forth which was dominating the thread whereas the Stevens discussion really doesn’t derail  the whole thread like the other was doing.   Sure there are some that think Stevens talk derails it at times but in the Mods view nothing at the point to warrant its own thread.   Now if it derailed it like the Beard talk was doing then we will talk  about it and go from there

Would gladly take him over Turdgeon and Brownnelly 

Well, if we're trying to avoid he-who-shall-not-be-named possible alcohol transgressions, I'm not sure that Huggy Bear is the way to go. LOL

[mdn82 26,344]

I really hope TJO gets to be a part of the final discussion and evaluated as a final candidate.  Haven’t heard anything on him, but he absolutely should be approached, imo.

Okay, I know nothing, but I’m going out on a limb here. Just read Bozich’s most recent column. I’ve been reading Bozich since he was with the Louisville Courier Journal way back in the 80s. I’ve found him to be discreet, trustworthy, and an IU guy—which means he is kind of a company guy like Don Fischer who has been able to cover IU through the years and not tick administration or Bobby Knight off back in the day. In said column,  He goes through all the names we’ve been discussing lately—(with no mention of BS). He gives all the positive and negatives of each—all well and good. Then he says he believes SD is gonna hire someone else, no one is talking about—not on the list he just gave. Okay, fine, some unknown guy? No—- he then describes this guy as a veteran coach looking for a new challenge to rebuild IU. Kent Sterling does a video and says the exact same thing. I know to take Bozich seriously and also know he is connected and values access and won’t cross the athletic department. In my mind, BS just went from a 1-2% likely to better than even odds. Here’s what I think. Reporters trusted by the AD know who the hire is—a small select number. And they’ve been asked to hold the story and just discuss other candidates until a set time—probably once senior day is done and the lights turned out in the Hall on Saturday. No more home games, no need to protect Woodson’s ego after that point. With the terrible risk of sounding like isaacTor, I guess—based on nothing but reading between the lines— that around 8 Saturday night Bozich and a handful of guys that are trusted in the AD will simultaneously start breaking stories about rumors of who this “veteran” coach is. I might be totally wrong, but I think “we got him.” Who else could this veteran guy be? 

Why would Dolson tell a reporter then tell them to keep it quiet? That just doesn't make sense. Instead of telling the reporter who it is, he could tell them that he'll let them know first so they can be the one to break it. Much less risk of it accidentally being shared that way.

The year Diet Coke was invented?
