Sorry Stu, but A. J. Guyton thinks your man Gates would be ideal for DePaul.

That dude is way, way too smart to want any part of that dumpster fire.

it's Beard? ok, i'm on board with that

That flight is from Waco, which is where Baylor is.. Just funny timing. It's probably nothing.

My opinion is donors don't pony up the buyout money unless it's an Indiana guy or Brad. 

Sadly, "Indiana guy" is almost certainly Alford... and just so y'all understand, Brad Stevens > "Indiana guy". It's not even close.

LOL. No deal. Also, there's a misconception about Alabama basketball. No, we're not a blue blood, but there's always been a very large basketball fan base at Bama. We just haven't had much to cheer about in a long time. Most people don't realize we're second only to kentucky in SEC wins. Granted arkansas came on board very late.

Definitely didn’t realize that. Sucks that you’ll have to try to stay in 2nd place without Nate Oats as your coach. Go dust off your Heismans, crystal footballs, and CFP trophies or something.

It’s gonna be Steve Alford.

1.BFF with Scott D

2.Salary will be modest

3.Its time to try IU Guy

1987 team made me fall in love with Indiana basketball. I just want to win again and I’m good with Alford. I’m not against other coaches to me it just seems like this is gonna be his chance.

There's too many! We had to hire a cleaning service for that.

 

Anyway, like I said, stay away from Oats. He's no good anyway.

 

You guys have fun.

I pray to the heavens you are wrong, sir. 

It would not surprise me if our chicken **** admin came up with $10m to buyout Archie only to replace him with Alford. Dakich was saying hire Alford for 1m/year (I guess he's only making $500k/year right now). I don't get it. Horrible idea IMO

Donors didn't pony up $10 million to hire Steve Alford.

That makes total sense to me... but "sense" doesn't seem to be the strong suit when it comes to basketball hires...

Hopefully a one way ticket for him!

I keep having this running thru my head. I just feel that agreeing to put up $10 mil was only gonna be for someone special. 

[Alford Bailey 12,349]

I will get behind whoever the new coach is just like I have all previous coaches until they prove otherwise

You’re a good time. Stick around a while, we have fun around here. 

[Trish 11,502]

I think I said it in this thread. Boosters don’t just give away 10 million for a mid major guy. Nor did they give that up for a non big name. 
 

There’s just no way.

It’s Brad Stevens guys. We can shut this thread down. 

Darn right it’s him. I won’t be convinced otherwise
