I'm surpised by this analysis. 

Shrews is by far the least proven of the 3 that were mentioned: a losing record in 3 years at IU Southbend, barely above .500 in 2 years at PSU and currently has a 7-15 record at ND. That's a poor resume. 

May has a better resume.

Schertz has an amazing resume.

Yeah, all the Shrews love doesn't make sense to me. His resume is pretty unimpressive.

Nothing wrong with that. Then go root for his team. But we don't need to talk about him and IU anymore. 

No particular interest in rooting for Ole Miss regardless of how much I envy their athletic department. They have real pros over there.

Glad you said you were speculating, because that's all you're doing.

1. His "difficulties" with alcohol or whatever you and others claim clearly haven't prevented him from performing his duties. He's ascended through the coaching ranks faster than any coach I can ever remember. On the verge of taking his 4th program to the NCAAT in 8 years and next year will be his 5th whoever hires him. Only Lon Krueger and Rick Pitino can lay the claim of taking 5 different schools the the dance. It took each of them over 30 years. Beard will have done it in less than a decade.

2. Read the toxicology report included in the police report. Stone cold sober.

 

Holy crap. That arrest happened when he was sober!??!

Yikes.

Some posts are so amazingly bad that I just can't help but to reply to it. This is one of them.

So you're saying he can't use the "I was drunk" excuse like it's somehow better? It's actually worse. That says he can't control himself even when sober.

And cleared of all charges with everything behind him en route to another 20 win season.

Meanwhile, we're 6 point underdogs tonight to a team that hasn't won a game in a month lol.

Beard is at his 4th program in 8 years? Woof.

sounds like some of the players nowadays in the transfer portal/covid era. And we are arguing that this guy is a good fit? 
 

I know he wins, but jeez. Talk about a risk. 
 

edit: HE IS AT HIS 5th! Let’s not forget UNLV where he bolted before coaching a game lol

I keep hearing the excuse "we can't hire him because he's an alcoholic" and that "alcohol contributed to DV allegations".

Where is the proof that he can't control his liquor?

Kevin Wilson would still be here if he won games. Just sayin.

If we keep feeding the animals they will never leave but sometimes I just can't help it. My personal opinion is mods should start banning people every time his name is mentioned.

Taken more teams to the NCAA tournament than number of times we've been total in the same time frame. Let that sink in.

I rarely get annoyed with posters, but man, make your point and move on. My IQ is about average for an old guy and even I got it the first time.

[Hoosierfan2017 23,253]

Are there any coaches at Beard’s level that IU could get? Because I do think that’s the caliber of coach it’ll take to succeed at IU. 

[LamarCheeks 20,878]

Me, after seeing the Chris Beard debate has been revisited ...

I'm going to lament on Chris Beard until the AD either does the right thing and hires Chris Beard or actually gives the job to somebody else. This thread is about general coaching candidates for a job that isn't even open. Feel free to ignore me. You can always listen to fairy tale fish stories about Brad Stevens in the meantime if you'd like.

Schertz had a run at a DII school that has few equals even in D1. And it looks like he is about to take Indiana State to a conference title and a tourney bid. That's pretty good.

Drew and maybe Pearl, but that's about it. But they've established programs at their current gig and would likely play Dolson like a fiddle for a pay raise. 

[Adillac 973]

Schertz record as a college basketball coach: 390-105 (.788)

Dude has won almost 400 games and he's only 48y old. lol.

I'll take a chance with that guy over anyone who has had middling success at a P5 school.
