This should go without saying obviously, but there will be no press conference tomorrow. I’ll be able to take the lid off a bit later in the week. But will say this, anybody providing details right no

I’ve had several PM’s so wanted to drop a quick line to the broader board. Love this group and fully intend to continue to contribute to the community, Im not going anywhere. (Sorry to a few of you) B

So I couldn’t get much from him unfortunately. But, to me that’s a good thing. There’s been pretty much zero chatter, nor leaks for a month about coaches. He said it doesn’t matter that the season is

I don't understand the Fife talk.  I just don't get it.  MSU fans don't even want him as the heir to their program, they want one of the other assistant coaches.  He had hustle as a player, but I wouldn't say the kind of chutzpah that you'll typically see in a coach.  Will all due respect to Dane, Indiana, as a program, has earned the right to aim much, much higher than this.

 

Based on the biases of my own desires, I'm predicting Brad Stevens to IU.  The facts/circumstances I'm cherry-picking to support this argument are as follows:  Indiana University is the best basketball program ever, Brad is ready for a change, and also it just feels right to me.

 

Based on the wording of the Press Release and what is out there right now, I do not believe we're going to be looking at any up-and-comers.  Sorry, Stuhoo.  So realistically only about 5 candidates, and supposedly at least 1 of them has indicated high interest in the position.  The Texas guys seem pretty happy.  I'd love for it to be Oats.  I'm going to predict it is Beilienieniblien.  Huge upgrade regardless.

I'm with you. I said Musselman earlier. I think it's Beilein now that I've read a few things on here and other places. I don't think it's a done deal though. I think there are probably 3-4 guys they are looking at.

I like Belein's ability.. But he's not the long term answer. 

No but I think he could win right away and have a team that could compete for a National Title sooner rather than later. It would be a solid 4-6 year run. The hope is he would leave Indiana in better shape than he found it. Look at West Virginia and Michigan..West Virginia went to a final four 3 years after he left. Michigan is a one seed 2 years later. While Beilein was at both those schools West Virginia had the best seasons they've had since the 60's and Michigan the best since the Fab Five.

I appreciate you brother. We're going to get this ship turned around. 

I hope so... but we've been hearing that for the past 20+ years... I guess if we keep saying it over and over and over, sooner or later we'll be right...

Just stopping by to mention a couple of things:

1. Stay away from our coach 

2. Are you aware he just signed a contract extension with a 12+ million dollar buyout?

Boosters just paid $10 mil to get rid of the last guy. Seems like we may finally be serious about a new head coach. Hopefully we get our Saban (Stevens). Oats would be a great pickup.

Give me Beilein over Fife all day every day for the rest of time. There's no argument for Fife other than him being an IU guy.

Deathly afraid I'm going to see the  name Steve Alford sometime soon. I have zero faith in our admin until they do the right thing. Firing Archie this quickly was a great start. 

Beliein would be a safe, modest hiring I could grow to appreciate, if not celebrate. 

Alford? That will crush my spirit.

If he wants to come and he is Dolson's choice the 12 million buyout wont matter.

Agree that he has been a "program whisperer" of sorts and could potentially bring success sooner rather than later.. But I don't like the idea of a 70 year old on the IU sideline.

You took our FB strength staff, we get your basketball coach. You guys don’t even like basketball!

I don't think he's leaving any time soon. I also know that if he does leave, it won't be because Bama got outbid.

That's my number one issue. He's 68. But hell Saban is 69 so who knows.

LOL. No deal. Also, there's a misconception about Alabama basketball. No, we're not a blue blood, but there's always been a very large basketball fan base at Bama. We just haven't had much to cheer about in a long time. Most people don't realize we're second only to kentucky in SEC wins. Granted arkansas came on board very late.
