Not sure I agree... one arrogant, incompetent hack of a mediocre NBA coach got about $20M from the university... seems to be set for life... 

Yeah, nothing like being held hostage by one BOT member

Pitino Sr could come here for 4 years and with our NIL possibly win a natty in that time frame. He’s that good

This is an interesting point. A lot of reasons to see why he wouldn't come. However I've been watching the Vice program about his time he's had at St. John's. Due to the work he's had to do to get facilities up to speed, and all of the extras he's had to do, that it's been his least enjoyable 2 years and he hasn't had time to embrace the fanbase. 

If that was the direction we went and he hung #6, I'm sure his opinion would hold weight in terms of our next hire. It should hold weight now and perhaps it does.

Literally none of those reasons would matter if he didn't win more than any NFL quarterback in history. So yeah, people do hate him cause he won a lot.

Sorry, I didn't realize that you get to tell me why I have the feelings I do

I was stationed there for several years, but no, Indiana/Michigan primarily. We traveled all over the state since there is nothing to do, at least you were in the eastern part lol, western OK is a different world. People really do not understand how isolated it is. That base was 70 minutes from a Target hahaha. I like OKC and Tulsa, southeast part of the state is beautiful too. 

To your other point, 100%. I would absolutely love to see UNC, Kansas, Duke or Kentucky to wander the wilderness like we have and see what those fanbases look like. IU is different, whether anyone nationally wants to believe it or not, and I will die on that hill. 

I’ve been through that area and you were really in the middle of nowhere, lol,  glad you’re gone!
Yeah, I don’t remember missing one IU game the whole time I lived down in Oklahoma, but I do remember even back in the 80s It seemed like we were always the underdog in the tourney Playing with a lot of Juco transfer transfers etc. and not really getting very many blue Chip players even back that long ago.  I think the movie Hoosiers helped us out a lot too.lol

I’d like to know why you heathens are not at church on this beautiful, Sunday morning. And if you ARE— why you’re on this board instead of listening to your preacher! :)

My wife is a pastor, I get enough at home lol

Oooh… a guessing game!

Chris (seven letters) Beard.

”Chris ‘Drinkin’ Beard?”

”Chris ‘NotAtIU’ Beard?”

I saw where Rabby said his agent begged Miami to give him a chance and even they said no thanks after doing their homework.

[EasyEJay 49]

He’s got one foot in Bloomington clearly !!!

Been off this thread for a couple of days. Who is the flavor of the day?

He’s going to be the next coach.

Well damnit, now I have to choose between Turgeron and Beard. Kinda like picking between drinking lye or rat poison

[EasyEJay 49]

Also saw where there will be several recruits in attendance for IU vs Purdue game . Recruiting without having ANY idea who the coach will be ?  Doesn’t make sense …………….thanks that make you go Hmmmmmmmmmmmm lol I’m joking of course I have no idea how that stuff works maybe standard operating procedure.

Sheesh.  Beard’s agent must be worn out from begging so many schools to consider his client.

Probably a lot of kids are more interested now that they know Woodson is leaving

How are there visits with no coach?

Except people want their head coach to have a resume of a pastor. Anything less and they aren’t good enough. 

That’s just so untrue. Most don’t want someone involved in crimes harming someone else. We had enough with drunk @$$ Kevin Wilson. Nobody expects a saint, people just want a decent person. If you can’t tell the difference, you’re just gaslighting 

[IUHAHN81 2,831]

Just jumping on to say that I'm still onboard the Stevens boat until it sinks and I drown. Get er' done Scott!

I was discussing Pitino and by proxy Wade in my own mine when I wrote that. I see Beard as a different issue.

Shooting guards? Not sure that’s allowed at IU.

I was still kinda on board even though sleazy Louisville and Kentucky didn't even look at him. If cocaine U says no, it must be really bad

I would love an answer to this if someone knows. Also entirely possible they just wanna watch IU-Purdue from awesome seats and don't care about the coaching situation since they are both relatively close by lol
