General Coach Candidate News

[mamasa 15,269]

I honestly can't remember how I felt when we hired Archie. I think I was overly optimistic (kinda my M.O.) lol. I remember that I was seeing a movie when Natty and Jaybob texted me to let me know. I've given up assuming I know what a good coach is. I'll support whoever it is, and hope for the best

I think that has been the message he's been sending out all season, he just changes the team. Not 100% but saw one like it couple of weeks ago.

Wonder what would happen if you sent that as an attachment and nailed them on it.. maybe they have a plan A-Z set for that lol

How about one of you people who has a million + in savings emails Scott and tells him you're willing to make a donation.

Lol.  Same.  At the time I don't think Sampson, Crean, or Miller were my dream hires, but in each case I felt very optimistic about their hirings.  We as fans are both experts and idiots when it comes to these things.

 

Edit: I never was especially optimistic about Davis - yet he had the most tournament success.  Go figure.

Stevens

Beard

 

home run hires

 

Oats

Belien

Mata

Next year candidates.

 

I would have been ecstatic with Holtman now that I’ve seen what he can do.

 

I’m not sure there is a coach out there we could get right now that would justify 10 million .

ha - even if I had that kind of scratch, I wouldn't donate until I knew the name they were targeting and that it was a 'done deal' pending donors stepping up.

And that thinking is exactly why Archie Miller will be here next year!

Archie Miller train rolls on folks!

It’s because we love you that we texted you :) lol

Which one of you stole Brad's Identity last week?

You couldn't have at least got some charges in some Bloomington establishments to prime his brain up for his move back home?!?!?!

Root canal?!? Can we get WayneFleek to offer free dentistry upon relocation to Indiana. With doc's good work he won't need a root canal!

With our luck, we'll end up hiring the person that stole Brad's identity.

*Introducing you new coach: Brad Stevens!*

"hmm, Brad sure looks different these days"

Not that we know what the hell we're talking about, but the consensus on this board is that there are three choices:

1. Primary: Throw the booster bank at Stevens; maybe the bank would open for Scott Drew
2. Secondary: Lower cost/high value--Thad Matta
3. Roll the Dice: If Archie HAS to go, and now, look to Nored, Tonagel, Utah St Smith, Alexander, Fife. Interview them all and pick the 'could be a star' winner.

There...wasn't that easy?

Interview panel?

• Buckner
• Whitman
• Moye
• Hulls
• Alford (to eliminate him as a choice)
• Dakich, cause what the hell
• Don Fischer
• Tom Allen

Alright, scratch Tonagel, insert other 35-45 year old very successful untested D1 coach.

After throwing the bank, that is one of the worst uneventful lists I have ever seen. If that doesn't scream BLUE BLOOD NO MORE I don't know what does. Nothing against you for supplying said lists.

So keep Archie if we throw the bank and the aforementioned don't want it?

My personal opinion is to let the buyout go down and hope for better options next season. If these are our options and  I have to pick someone I guess I would go with Fife or Nored.

Fair enough, but if no fantastic options are available after this season, I'm not sure how better options will be there a year later.
