Niko was the coach the Michigan fanbase was wanting when they thought gut Dusty would be going to Louisville. 

I think he is a good coach and would succeed. And NIL would help ensure he gets good players.

I've just heard we are pretty far along with a candidate or two so I think Beard is just late to the game. Both of these would be bigger than him anyway

You previously said Beard would never be considered; yet the cream & crimson always rises to the top. I’m saying Beard or Pearl since they clearly are two of the best coaching today that won’t be considered at IU. Can I get an amen IU Prof?

Honestly, I love reading what people have heard, but can't understand why anyone gets that caught up in it.

Josh Schertz seems to be a Pam Whitten type coach.

That's what I thought. So we don't actually know that to be a fact. 

P.s. trying to respond without sounding like a jerk but no matter how I word it, it comes out that way. Not my intent

Fair enough... but on the flip side, how often to you read documented reports that [candidate] did not get the job? You often read that [candidate] has withdrawn his name or [other guy] was hired for the job... I mean, I understand your point, but all we have is the word of connected people and "made up stuff"... so, it is what it is.

Maybe Kathy can enlighten us on the process for the football coach hire in a non-visceral, non-knee-jerk way.

He was told to leave while the season was still going on. Woodson also wasn’t technically “fired.”

Correct Frieder wasn’t fired as he notified Mich officials that he wasn’t coming back for the next year and Frieder became a natty coach. Woody completely different he got fired. The obvious question to ask would Woody come back next year if he could or how much wood can a wood chuck chuck?

Wouldn’t be anywhere near the top of my list but I would absolutely take a Schertz or McMillan over Brownell or McDermott.  It wouldn’t even be a close call.

All i care about is having our coach the day of or before the portal opens 

I don't.

1) most guys entering the portal on day one are not on tournament teams so why focus on them?

2) hiring the right coach is more important than getting one or two players that we otherwise would have a harder time acquiring

Our coach should be announced by flying in on a wrecking ball

Trish what are you hearing? 

It’s very quiet when I’m asking around the CBB world. Everyone wants to speculate the big names, but no one knows. Indiana and Utah are the biggest openings right now. 
 

Im confident Brad Stevens is still in play. Dusty is off the table.

I don't think Miley Cyrus is qualified. I'd rather keep Woodson.

I have Schertz in top 5 or 6.  But I have Alford there as well.  Looking for someone who would be vested (program ownership).  Losing and or program failure is not an option mentality…..after Stevens, May, and really only after 2 or 3 others…..Alford and Schertz.

Not all the more favorite choices would be vested.  Sure, they want to win and be successful but if it doesn’t work out they just move on.

I just went and read their thread.

It’s primarily one or two posters that kinda weren’t enjoying themselves here, followed by a whole bunch of posters saying nice things about Chris and this board in general.

HSN has primarily really excellent Hoosier fans who are also really excellent people. So we’re not gonna get into any “Hoosier on Hoosier” drama. All of these boards are comprised of great IU fans and our Hoosier brothers and sisters, even when there’s a few that are little salty.

All good-let’s move along!

Not saying it's Brad necessarily, but who thinks Dolson DOES already have "his guy?" Regardless of who it is.

I don’t think he has his guy meaning something has been signed.  But I do think there’s a decent chance that he thinks he has his guy.  Meaning they’ve had positive discussions in the back channels and have very possibly come to a verbal agreement although those can certainly fall apart.
