I’m sorry. I just don’t have any interest in Chris Collins…nor do I think we will look at him. I think Beard is much better than Collins. 

I never said that I had any interest in him and yes Beard is a better coach than Collins.  But there are warts that are there just like pretty every other candidate that people aren’t acknowledging — and those aren’t just off the court.

The Pitino endorsement may give us hope. 

Not even close. This is the guy who was pimping for Louisville recruits...

No clue why you’re getting so angry about it. You win dude. Jesus

Not an angry one bit.  But if you don’t want answers to questions, don’t ask the question.

Hasn’t had Doug for awhile and he is competitive in the Big East conference which has produced the back to back national champions.   He would have to get use to the smaller crowds at IU compared to Creighton 

I'd put McDermott in the next group with Buzz Williams and I guess Brownell.

Alright I get it dude

now are there allowed to be other measures besides record vs quad 1 or this that all we should look at?

Goodmans choice is Iowa states coach, said his buyout isn’t crazy, but then stated he’s not sure he’d like being in the Iu fish bowl

Why did Louisville and UK pass on Beard?  
 

I know people have alluded to things. There HAS to be more out there about him than the general public is aware.

Hey all - first post here and joined at the recommendation of a friend. Little burnt out on Peegs right now with the general “sky is falling” that’s going on over there right now. Looking forward to the discussion. 

I've been on Peegs a while and joined here recently as well. The discussion here definitely has a different tone, which is nice.

IMO 0 chance Otz leaves ISU. He's spent a lot of time there. Wife likes it there. Just getting started. Thats where he wants to be it seems to me.

FOOTBALL SCHOOL!!!

You joke, but not far from the truth!

Chris Beard is 14-6 in the NCAA Tournament.  He has never lost to a lower seed, never losing to a seed lower than a #4 seed.

Yup...The visit to Sisley is BAFFLING!

By all accounts it was a positive meeting, but why is that even happening? Given how Woody is acting behind the scenes this was an absolute shock. Trying to understand how that fits into this whole landscape

But what is his record vs quad 1.. that’s all that matters from my understanding 

[Papacap 2,026]

I’m not sure I get the “IU fish bowl”. What do we do? We hire bad to mediocre coaches, pay them a **** ton of money, keep them around longer than we should, rinse and repeat. If anything, our standards have dropped to the point where if I were a coach, I’d be wondering why IU has put up with such crappy results for so long.

C’mon man.. “beard lasted 1.5 seasons at Texas”

he was 7-1 in his second season at Texas when he got fired. Him “not lasting at Texas” had nothing to do with his coaching. The dude wins

That's what everyone is saying. It's not his coaching that is the problem. But he, in fact, didn't last at Texas because he couldn't keep his nose clean. That's part of the job, too.
