Another warm welcome to @Mr. Hoosier Pride.   Glad to have you with us.

Thanks --- how the hell do I get rid of this Purdue Jock Strap nonsense?  ha!

[Trish 11,506]

Bottom line is this. 

We want a Power 5 coach with great experience. We don't want a mid-major guy after this experience with Archie.

If we're going the IU connections route, it appears to be Dane Fife as the favor amongst the board.

You have to get a real jockstrap, put a huge P on it and put it over your head & take a picture of it. Then post it on the board. Don't worry everyone had to do it once

My name is a special name.

One of a kind name for a one of a kind poster!

Not true. 

I would be completely stoked by the right young coach. Would FAR prefer over someone in his late 50's or 60's who will always be known for his successes at another school.

Welcome to the board. It's the usual names Matta, Beilien, Drew, Musselman, some guy named Stevens, Fife, Mack, amongst others. I think IU wants a proven P5 guy but that's just me and I don't know much

You forgot to add that half of the rumors about Matta are that he can't walk, and the other half are that he wants to coach again and has recently been seen deadlifting farm equipment.

What about a guy in his mid 40's that is known for his successes at another school?

Approved. That would be excellent.

[Mr. Hoosier Pride 485]

I love the IDEA of an IU guy, but if we're looking for proven P5 guys, there's just nobody out there.  Dane is an Assistant, so is he proven?  (Not that I would mind that hire one bit) ... Alford is the only guy that comes to mind and his definition of "proven" is very questionable...

Someone mentioned Musselman, I like that hire a lot.  

All of this talk, and I guess the real question should be, do we have any reason to believe Archie is actually going anywhere?

the only reason we have to think he is gone is that this is the arguably the worst 4 years in IU history. The reason to think he is not gone is the money. So who knows.

Who the **** are these bee posters?! Get the **** out of here! We don’t know if they’ll be good or not. They could be real bums!

Ones joining from a lesser site. We’ve tried that before and it got us four years of **** results!

Is one of them BS? If so, he can stay.

Welcome to Btown Banners. Enjoy the shitshow that mirrors the play of our team. Consistently ******* inconsistent!

We’re in the business of talking about new coaches, and business is BOOMIN’.

[coonhounds 8,793]

Not sure if it's been discussed, but how would you all feel about CAM getting fired, and one of the assistants being named interim (either for next season, or just until we get our guy)?  Not advocating for or against, just trying to add a variable to the discussion. 

That was my thought when I see people saying we can't get our guy or whatever. I say give us a interim if you must just anything but what we have currently

My biggest worry is that I will get my hopes up for a Brad Stevens / Billy Donovan and end up with a head scratcher like last time we went down this road. Billy was here, Billy is coming etc,etc

For you new posters just coming on board, pay no attention to HoosierAloha's rants.  He's harmless even when he goes off his meds.

I want him gone too, but an interim coach for a year because we can't find a coach we want would be recruiting suicide and a horrible look for the program.

You’ve gotta admit “Billy visits Bloomington” was a hilarious saga last time around. The journey is 99% of the fun. Ultimately we have no say in where this ends up so might as well enjoy the ride.

We did that four years ago and it didn’t work. Scott doing that again seems risky on his career and the future of IU basketball.

 

There are no right young coaches out there. We thought we had one with Archie. It looked good and checked all the boxes. Unless it’s an IU young guy, I don’t see it.
