I have hardly listened to Brad Stevens speak... if you don't want to get your hopes up for him, I advise you not to watch this video. 

Wish I could embed...

If you want to listen to “insiders” on this site or others that have told us in the past Brad Stevens and Billy Donovan  were done deals go ahead. Not only were they wrong on Stevens and Donovan but they had little to no knowledge of who the eventual hire would be til it was making the rounds in social media. 

who pissed in your Cheerios?...

In the comments the guy says last year.

Woodson didn’t. Haha

No he did not. He thought he was untouchable because he played here 87 years ago. I really believe he thought he could never get fired.

It really wasn’t 87 yrs ago.  I know cuz I’m 5 months younger than Woody.

[coonhounds 10,544]

The reason I’m optimistic this go around is purely based on NIL. This didn’t exist when Woodson was first hired.
 
Given we’re apparently top-5 for NIL, this is going to be a very desirable job. Doesn’t mean we get Stevens, but I think someone like Beard is the floor this go around and that’s so much better than Woodson.

Beard is definitely not the floor! Let's get real. He would kill it. Alot of other coaches we will probably hire who will be worse

i could be misremembering but anyone remember 4 years ago when we were looking for a coach a recruit’s dad said IU was looking to hire Stevens and his son was a top priority.  My remembering also tells me the recruit was Braden Smith. Anyone else remember 

I remember that. Then I looked up Smith and thought "Man, he's going to be annoying if he's in West Lafayette for 4 years". And here he is, annoying us and just lining up that post-degree insurance sales job!

I know that but it was a long time ago. He was hired to win titles not live in the past.

Thanks for these. The fact that he specified that he really misses the teaching aspect of coaching in this second one certainly suggests someone who might prefer college to pro coaching.

I know!  Trust me.  I’ve seen them all since 1976 when I grad HS.  81 with Zeke and was only 28 when we won in 87!  I KNOW what winning is.  I’m so tired of this lame crap I could scream!

No I'm not even considering Stevens is gonna be the coach. Which is why I just refuse to engage with the Stevens to IU talk.

You should start considering it because it’s closer than people think

@Chris007is my guy. He knows I’m a big fan of what he brings and just plain how he is on the board.

Chris is coming in strrrrong on Stevens, which I love. That’s some awesome sauce for me; therefore, I am so very much hoping he is spot on.

Thank you. You were one of the first to welcome me here many years ago. You’ve been very generous with some of the jacka$$ things I’ve said over the years. We have done our work on him both times. I’m hoping it’s spot on this time too.
