It's really not worth arguing about at this point. I've stopped. We know he won't be hired and no amount of some people on message boards and social media trying to wish the hire into existence won't be any more effective than everyone trying to wish the Brad Stevens hire into existence. 

It is interesting to see who is willing to overlook or, worse, downplay DV in favor of hypothetically winning. I say hypothetically since his record isn't really all that impressive at the P5 level outside of 2 seasons that he hasn't been able to replicate.

Coach Facial Hair won't be hired. My advise is to just ignore talk about him.

It's not really a wish, but more of a reality that Brad will be returning home to coach in front of his dad, coach his son, and secure his daughter a scholarship to play soccer at Indiana University

I will say we would have to get 15 names down the list before Beard is a candidate 

Disappointing that he's that high.

Getting booed by Michigan fans is less than a non factor and only one time per year at home games or on a neutral floor and will fade in a few years to a few spontaneous boos to what are you even booing about.

Woody traumatized so many IU fans with the “true fans” senior day comments a good portion of the fan base wants a coach who will “just do whatever it takes to win” and kiss fans butts even when it’s not warranted. Good luck finding a winner willing to do that. It’s like fans think they are the coach’s boss or something lol 

There is a difference between 'kissing fans butts' and blaming them for a 19-15 season.

Agree. Don’t read my post as a defense of Woody… people are coloring Cronin’s calling out fans (in a reasonable situation to do so) based on Woody’s true fan remarks.

It may be more a paraphrase, "After 4 years of players not finding their own shots I am moving on with my wallet stuffed fat."

Can you agree to no more recruiting visits where you need to use the bathroom.

Maybe Brad is just banking on the futility of IU administration when it comes to managing basketball and knows he can evaluate his life at the time and do this every 3-4 years in perpetuity lol

I'm told his daughter is more likely to go to Notre Dame than come to IU. But she is ok living in Indiana.

Why couldn't Sampson just not been an idiot? He had it made. 

Same reason SEC motto is “you ain’t cheating if you ain’t trying”. They all did/do it with one exception Robert Montgomery Knight. Coach K was a big cheater his players were all paid. We know about the Adidas scandal or worse UNC/Kansas academic scandal. I guess my point looking in hindsight is we probably should have slapped Sampsons wrist, kept him, and won a couple more titles. But the reason we lose now, odds are will continue to lose, are these holier than thou fans/alumni and mentality that won’t consider or hire a coach like Beard.
