FritzIam4IU Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 Just to be transparent...I really wanted to believe in CAM and believed he could succeed here until about 2 weeks ago. I think the Rutgers game was the straw that broke the proverbial camels back for me. I saw IUs chances of making the NCAA tourney crashing down. I am now of the opinion that a change is needed. My top (somewhat) realistic candidates: 1. Brad Stevens ( I know...extreme long shot but hey, I can dream) 2. Chris Beard 3. Scott Drew 4. Chris Mack (if the rumors are true he has expressed interest...which I am doubtful he would jump ship from Louisville) 5. Musselman (more of a risk than I would prefer but I think he could be good) I am a little leery of Matta's health and Beilen's age Go Hoosiers! Trish, Chris007, thebigweave and 4 others 7

Glad to have you join us Fritz and hope to see you as an active poster. I'm not sure how I feel about being labeled "Purdue Jockstrap" ha, but thanks for the welcome. I have posted on last two HSN boards and have frequented this site as well as it is the only other board I feel has a good temperament and civil IU discussions.

I think most would be happy if we actually got one of those seven. I'm still a little leery on Mack after reading more about him and his system. I can't handle more Archie ball. I'd add Oats to it even if his extension makes it less likely. I really hope whoever is our next coach plays a more exciting brand of basketball. JaybobHoosier and lillurk 2

Some different names out there that are at the very least intriguing but your names are the big one's we've all been tossing and kicking.Sent from my Pixel 3a XL using Tapatalk FritzIam4IU and lillurk 2

I honestly think that Matta, Beliein, Drew, Musselman are all people that would take the job if offered and the pay was a raise. But before you get to those guys you have to make Brad say no multiple times. If we knocked on his door last time he didn't answer, I don't think that's been the case this time. 323SGrant, lillurk, thebigweave and 6 others 9
Unexpectedflash Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 I remember when Dolson was hired, there were rumors that he was a pushover and he'd just hire Alford if we fired Archie. Does anyone know where those rumors came from or if there's any semblance of truth to them? ALASKA HOOSIER 1

I am fairly confident Drew would take the job with a reasonable raise. Josh, thebigweave and JaybobHoosier 3

I think either Alford or Dolson one of them said on a podcast that they wouldn't want to put the other in that position since they're good friends. No one wants to fire their best friend.
