Can we just get a coach who can win more of the “didn’t think we had a chance” games and lose less of the “we should’ve beat them” games? Is that too much of an ask?

If we have any games that we think we don’t have a chance going in, we hired the wrong guy…

Well maybe just a little substance...abuse.

Yup, just grabbing a name from Bozich’s potential candidate list. He even said it’s pretty much mysterious right now in the coaching search.

[Gameface01]

Sorry I bothered. Continue on with Huss and McDermott.

Well, at Wisconsin and at Michigan St seem to always be brought up every year as a loss in everybody’s preseason predictions!

I don't ever remember "they saying" Archie was a homerun hire. I'm sure Fred Glass was the only person who said that or tried to tell everyone it was. lol

MANY (media, fans, posters)  thought Archie was a home run hire. At the time Archie, Holtmann and Mack were the three hottest young coaches in the country and IU nabbed Archie. 
There are many examples of mid-major coaches being successful at bigger programs but unfortunately there are many, many cases of them bombing. We all know which category describes Archie.

I realized just how different Purdue and IU were by how they treated their religious zealots. I started my post-secondary career at Purdue. The fire and brimstone preacher was most often called "Brother Max" by the students there. 

When I got to IU for grad school, I remember one of my classmates telling me about some guy screaming at students who was called "Mad Max." I thought, "That's a weird coincidence." Sure enough, same guy, of course. I wonder what his schedule was at the different campuses around the state. He seemed like he was at Purdue A LOT during my 4 years there. I didn't see him all that often at IU...

He actually travelled on a circuit! He hit ISU as well (friend went there). My favorite story from him was that Jesus called him on the white courtesy phone at a Holiday Inn in Terre Haute lol

It was a shot at the journalist, not at you. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing though, I do think Bozich has an interesting list (Especially since he broke the news for Woodson to IU).

Spoiler alert: It’s Chris Beard

Btw, he is just grabbing this name from Bozich’s potential candidate list

Expected to Pursue LOL . Beard would pack his stuff and be in Bloomington in time for Senior Day if IU was interested in hiring him

So Alan Huss is the flavor of the day today?

Good coach, but Alan Huss's next stop isn't going to be Indiana.

Nah, he's just Stu's man crush...

Nothing much being said so far today. Like watching paint dry.

Tucker was allegedly reaching out to other teams, over a month ago, because he didn’t think he was getting the minutes he deserved.

IF TRUE, and I don’t have direct knowledge that it is, I would happily say good goodbye.

He might turn out to be a good player somewhere else but no thanks.

Wouldn't be shocking at all. He'd currently be at G League Ignite if they hadn't folded.

Cracks are getting bigger.

Hopefully whoever the new coach is can look at the fact that Kanaan Carlyle's shot rate is four times what Leal's is and reach the conclusion that isn't right.

Need to realize that the Sporting News is no longer a legit, sourced journalism outlet.

For instance, this article was written by a current student at Tennessee Wesleyan U.

His passion for sports started at the age of four when he played his first year of tee ball. Growing up in Tennessee, he developed a deep love for the Tennessee Volunteers and Atlanta Braves.
