My one and only post regarding Chris Beard. I think it's important to remember what we might lose with his hire.

*Gone would be the ability to describe our defense as suffocating.

*"Beating the hell out of" an opponent would no longer be tolerated in print 

*Opponents who've blown a lead to us, and ended up losing the game could no longer, in good taste, be said to have "choked".

*And who can deny that there'd be serious repercussions if one of our players @$$-punched a Boilermaker, no matter how much that cheerleader had it comin'?

I think it's best that we go with Scott Drew, just for the optics.

I would give Beard a punchers chance at getting the job.

I am not saying this info is actually valid either

True, but it’s definitely something to consider since he is an executive

So after a crap ton of new pages added today, we can still agree that it's always been Brad right?!

Damn, and I was hoping to use this gif when our next coach was hired for our new friend.

Someone that has been brought up but not talked about much that could be a candidate is Chris Mack

Darkhorse candidate? He's been a pretty successful coach and midwestern guy. Not sure on the falling out with louisville?

On SD calling a reporter and telling him, I agree it wouldn’t go down like that. But if a reporter uncovered certain clues and went to Dolson (a reporter who is an asset to the AD), he could say, “I’m going to be honest with you, but I’m asking you to hold this till ——-“. Kind of like Morgan Freeman did with that reporter in Deep Impact.

on BS owning equity, he’d own it whether he’s an employee or not. They don’t take your stock back when you retire.

Depends on the vesting schedule

Wrong Brad.

I know I'll probably get made fun of here like DMV, but have scrolled through all the Chris Beard discourse now even leading into Chris Mack discussion. Hearing Chris is a real candidate.

 

 

Watch out for Chris(tie) Sides........

Guys it’s going to be Frank Vogel. He’s the dark horse candidate. Currently a consultant with the Mavericks. Cuban was probably working him. Ties to the state of Indiana. Only 51 years old. Scott’s probably been at Bankers Life chatting it up with the Simon’s on their referrals. Also played for Pitino at Kentucky. It’s been obvious the entire time. 
 

Probably on the plane that came from Dallas to Monroe a couple hours ago.

Again...to hire someone like this over a Chris Beard (who wants the job) or a Scott Drew, makes little sense. If Stevens fall through...fork in the road...which way are we going to choose. Time will tell. I trust Dolson to make the right decision. 

Collins' career Big 10 win % is only 37.5%.  Before Collins the Wildcats had only had a single season Big 10 win percentage higher than that 5 times in 60+ years.  He has had 3 10+ wins in conference in the last 8 years.  The last time NW had one 10 win season in conference was 1932.  NW struggled when the transfer portal changed, but Collins is adjusting and they are moving back in the right direction.   I am not claiming Collins would be the right coach at Indiana, but Chris Beard isn't accomplishing at NW what Collins has accomplished.

Yesterday was wild and I wondered how today would be in here. It has definitely been different, but has not disappointed. 

Have definitely been hearing some names that weren't on my bingo card. LOL

Why did that plane following the Celtics eventually come back to Indy? Christie

Recent ties to the state of Indiana? Christie

Big ten assistant coaching experience? Christie

(w)NBA coaching experience? Christie

 

Everyone saying Scott had his guy all along were right...but also wrong. All along Scott had his girl

Hell; I'll claim it: 

Chris Collins would not be a guarantee of anything, but I'd be very satisfied if he was the hire.
