Maybe we should be trying to hire Sister Jean. Prayer might be our only answer. IMO many of you will be sorely disappointed when we don't hire a high profile name and even if we do, many will still be disappointed because we can't even come up with a consensus of who we want on btb. My $.02 Money is important but it's not the sole motivator. Our history of firing coaches doesn't project a good image. If our Compliance Dept. is truly a problem then that alone will turn off some candidates. I think everyone needs to temper their expectations. Hey Class, I’ve been worried this whole time that the coach we hire won’t get much of a chance if it wasn’t Stevens. Really hope everyone will get behind whoever we hire because this program needs our support with a new coach, even if we aren’t thrilled with the hire. See if the results come and then judge. Now, I may struggle to support with someone like Alford or Pitino, but still. iuthruandthru, Parakeet Jones, mamasa and 4 others 6 1

Now, I may struggle to support with someone like Alford or Pitino, but still. I'm very much with you on this. I think it would be pure cancer to get this hire and we hit the ground, as fans, bitching a fit because it's Beilein and not every thing is perfect. Once the decision is made, it's done. Go back to rooting. I'm annoyed with the end of Archie Era, and want so badly just to sit back and not analyze every little flipping thing. Class of '66 Old Fart and JaybobHoosier 2
woodenshoemanHoosierfan Posted March 22, 2021 Posted March 22, 2021 It would be quite the failure on Dolsons part to hire him. Plain and simple. I believe you would be in the minoritySent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk T White and NVFalcons1990 2

Yeah he had a bad year but he has the most potential on the team currently. I'd put Jordan up there on potential too! I find it hard to believe Scott Dolson will tell the players who is coming. That doesn't make sense to me at all. Maybe he tells them an hour or two beforehand but anything longer seems a little reckless. NVFalcons1990 1
Hoosierfan2017 Posted March 22, 2021 Posted March 22, 2021 I need this hire to be a great one who can hit the ground running right away or my IU interest is going to be virtually nonexistent. After a 5 year tournament absence I can't go through another multi-year rebuild. I absolutely hate watching March Madness when our team is once again sitting at home.
Popular Post Josh Posted March 22, 2021 Popular Post Posted March 22, 2021 A home run hire is clearly about baseball. Wake me up when we are hearing about a three point hire. Hurryin' Hoosiers, DLG3, mamasa and 11 others 6 8

I consider someone who would make Indiana a bore to be a failure. He doesn't fit the job in anyway. He doesn't have a style that fits IU basketball and he doesn't have a personality more than a cardboard box. He's literally the exact opposite of what is needed.

Maybe he tells them an hour or two beforehand but anything longer seems a little reckless. I also find it all but impossible to believe that Dolson would leak. I find it entirely possible that an agent/sports marketing firm would leak. N.D. Kendrick is completely wired in to the AAU scene. He is someone that could find out before the public.

Trish Posted March 22, 2021 Posted March 22, 2021 In other news, Archie Miller changed his Twitter bio and header. I wonder why Dolson didn't like Ostrom. Interesting. By all accounts he seemed like a decent guy.
