They all do.  Goodman, Rothstein, Davis, etc they all absolutely hate IU.  Just hire Beard or Wade and flip the bird to them all.

I think they love us. I don't think its hate at all, we are an easy mark. Highly engaged fanbase driving clicks. The last thing they want is IU to be stable. The general disfunction around the program has been a boon for all of them, they want it to stay that way.

I'll keep saying, I'm really confident in this hiring process. Just go get a real college basketball coach that has a history of building culture, developing identity and establishing a consistent, winning program. 

IU's resources with a coach like that can do great things. We don't need to win the press conference, we need to win basketball games and win them consistently.

I know he did. I’m not disputing that. I’m just saying a couple wins here and there in the tournament and it concerns me what might happen. I mean, his comments yesterday didn’t necessarily breathe a sigh of relief. Again, I’m not saying i would bet he would come back…just saying I can’t help but wonder if he miraculously makes a deep run.  

If he miraculously makes a serious run in the dance it  probably would help in his “retirement” as he could say he got Indians back where it belonged and leave with his pride intact.

I don’t like Tyme or Goodman either but at anytime our wonderful insiders could come on here and tell us things haven’t fallen apart . And In clear plain English NOT vague memes or GIFs . 
 

I wanted to avoid it as long as possible BUT starting to hope for Chris Beard really only other realistic candidate left seems to be McDermott. That’s really the only other guy I feel as though might be able to get it done .

Well, we got a leak today, not a good one though unfortunately 

Meh.

We know his stance on Stevens is based on a vague quote.

Dusty May being out is obvious to everyone

TJO inexplicably loves Ames Iowa

Drew being  officially out is only mildly news worthy.

And that is assuming he isn't just talking out of his a$$, which is highly more likely  than not.

[Hoosier987 1,889]

Just remember guys. Whoever we get is better than Woodson. I do think along with Beard, Brownell etc…that there is a high major coach that nobody is talking about that would be a surprise and a very good one.

Omg Goodman is such an unlikable co*k.

Yup. What he said wasn’t necessarily a shock. This is kind of expected. Patience

Are we hoping Goodman is wrong or do we actually think it?

I’m afraid he’s a little more plugged in than anyone would care to admit. 

Yep. Goodman is a complete complete dbag and loves to tweak IU fans, but he does have good sources. His recent tweet was NOT good news. 

At all...

Watch out the blue IU hiring Billy Donovan or someone similar to him, that would be funny, especially since Bozich is all about this mysterious candidate he talked about

I don’t disagree but this is at best journalistically sloppy or cowardly: if he can report Drew and Otz aren’t candidates, he should man up and do so.

I would like to imagine he’s smart enough to understand that, but then again I feel confident he’s smart enough to know “I’m not a candidate” is a, hmm, interesting non-denial quote.*

At worst it shows contempt for his audience, and I wouldn’t put that past him either.

So he may be right, but he’s framed all his “reporting” on the search in such a way that he can make a surprised face if what he’s stood on turns out wrong.

*(I’m sure they spoke more on background, and thus his insistence on framing it that way, but again I’ll say that not pushing for a stronger denial on the record AND THEN framing the quote he did get as a denial is obsequious.)

(I also feel the need to say I’m not really “anti-media” but what Goodman has done both times he’s surfaced about the search in a big way gives journos a bad name.)

He's still think we were very unfair for firing a guy who got blown out at home by ISU and FW and who lost 12/13 with 2 of the top 10 players in the B1G.

this was like an hour before Goodman. Tony is going to National Treasure the clues until someone figures out whats going on.

Yup. The only two times he spoke about this he did so in a way that would make actual journalists cringe

Don’t do that to me. I don’t think it’s realistic, but don’t do that to me. 

Yeah, just dreaming a bit. He would certainly be a surprise. UF is my second most favorite team so I actually hope we get a great coach not named Golden

[Hoosier Guy 8,080]

I don’t trust Goodman one bit.  However, IF he’s correct on this matter, this search is a massive failure.
