Does Cody Zeller approve of this hire?

I want our next coach to do what Oats did at Alabama.  They are a top 10 team over and over and over again.  Do I think Devries can do this at Indiana.  Nope. Oh well. I guess we will be better than with Woodson.  Maybe.  Not even convinced of that.  
 

3 million at WV vs 5 million for Woody.  Basically had an equivalent year.  I don’t see the extra 2 million being the difference at all.  

No one thought oats would do it either til he did, 0 reason to think he can’t.

if you KNOW, give us a little more than "a big wink" .... i'm not against you, but i'd like to know you're not just blowing smoke for the fun of it

In the form of a GM or HC?

Compare this to the pope and kelsey hires from last year and it feels similar. Devries probably has had more success than Kelsey and maybe less than Pope by a smidge. It's hard to pull successful coaches away from their teams. That is just the nature of college basketball. I would love to have gotten Lloyd or Drew or someone of that nature but it just isn't the name of the game anymore. I would wager to guess the people that thought we had no shot at Stevens will be lauding this as a great hire 

Except we got a guy from a Power Conference :)

Again, fake news from Trilly.

Name has to begin with "B", so he goes by Brody Zeller now.

I would only ask you to take a look at Drake's history prior to DeVries.  

In his five years at Drake, his teams had an average record of 25-9.  In the ten years prior, Drake's average record was 13-18 and they only had a winning record' once (at 18-16).

As Debby Boone once sang, “You give me hope, to carry on.”

How about not judging a coach until we see what he can do. Does this resume look like a coach who would go on and win consecutive titles. I looked at Hurley's mid major jobs plus his first at a power conference

If it's not DeVries at this point; I would be SHOCKED.
