Who is the most obvious, non-controversial, at least somewhat plausible candidate that has had the least amount of smoke?

Christopher Michael Beard.

Been saying it and saying it, but my gut says its gonna be him. Probably wrong, but I want to at least try to speak it into fruition.

I'm with you on this. 

Our coach next year will either be Chris Beard or John Beilein.

Just guessing, don't ask me how I know - I don't.

So pretty much continue doing what you already do but from a better seat.

Well to be fair I do a little bit of coaching myself. But yes, would love the job. I’ll start tomorrow.

Question is by who? Athletic Dept, Media, ourselves?

Grifters and trolls.

Either of those names are NOW HOMERUNS in comparison to Woodson or Calbert

I do think all this strum und drang is fun/funny and even occasionally informative, but it’s all just biding time for Beard or Musselman. 

[Trish 12,634]

Lets interview Kyle Hornsby tomorrow. 
 

- He’s an IU grad

- He’s a doctor

- He’s smart

Good enough!

Yep. I mean someone earlier mentioned how in the last 3 hiring processes how none of the coaches (Sampson, Archie, Crean) were thought to be the favorites or the most talked about candidate. I would imagine that the same thing is happening hear.

Yeah, it’s appearing pathetic at this point. No offense to the Indiana guys but they have virtually zero college resume.  Indiana isn’t the ideal spot to learn on the job.

Pump the brakes on the former player hate man. I like your takes, but this is getting bush league real quick.

I love Kyle! One of my top 5 Hoosiers.

Jordan Hulls

AJ

Kyle

DJ

Dane or Tom probably 

[lillurk 4,310]

None of the former players are near the top of my list and I stand by my Beard/Muss guess...but it’s not terribly hard to imagine Woody, Fife, or even Calbert being a good college coach.

It’s getting depressing. I’m losing faith in Dolson even though I know we know almost nothing about the search. At this point, with some of these names being thrown out it’s going to look like a good hire if whoever it is has college head coaching experience. I think Woodson is a very bad candidate but even his coaching resume looks great compared to Cheaney’s.

I like Jake but I believe he might be a day behind.

Hmmm. @Chris007 said Cheaney got a courtesy interview yesterday via phone... at least that what I thought he said.

It was for sure yesterday, might have been zoom, CC just said he talked to Dolson. I assumed it was phone.

I don't really get this line of thinking. It's been established that no one knows anything that's going on. Until we actually hire a coach I feel like this is premature. I'm still hoping he's waiting on a tourney coach but it'd look pretty bad if it leaked that we were interviewing say Musselman while his team was still in the tourney. I guess I'm of the opinion that if one of these IU guys or Beilein was who we wanted then we would've hired them already.

Oh I know it’s totally not rational of me to think this way. It’s just that the combination of our players entering the transfer portal and some of the names being linked to the job has me fearing for the worst. I hope that it’s all smokescreens because of what you said, most of the big names out there are still coaching.

[Trish 12,634]

Yeah I’m hoping it’s all smoke screens. 
 

I trusted Scott last Monday. He tried with Brad and I guess it’s not happening. I need to trust him again with hiring a qualified coach.

Loved him when he was with The Range... saw him open for The Grateful Dead a time or two, as well

Hey, why not? 

She just led the Hoosiers to our first Sweet 16 and consistently has been in the Top 20 for the past two seasons and this past season, we've dipped into the Top 10. She's a proven winner, a proven recruiter and has been successful at luring talented transfers. Last season, she handed consensus No. 1 South Carolina its only loss. The Gamecocks only trailed after four quarters all season -- three were against us. You could argue that last season, it was the best victory in IU sports. Plus, she's right down the hall ... 

(If we can have a ridiculous Becky Hammon thread, we can have one for Moren as well. She has several years of college experience on her resume; Hammon has none!)
