Anyone interested in what Michael Himself has to say, tune in to WBDC on radio.net.  It’s our hometown radio station & he is getting interviewed at 7:30 est.  His dad was my Homeroom teacher for 4 years in HS, & was a HARDCORE PU fan...

Can we just hire this guy already? 

 

OMG this is the most cringeworthy speech I have ever seen.  Guy should have been fired before the team hit th floor.

We need to stop considering Mussleman. He's going to get a raise next month, Arkansas is a basketball / baseball school and they have more money than IU could ever dream of.

Plus, he's CTC 2.0. I don't care if he wins. If we wanted a salesman that wins then bring back CTC and throw cheaters around him like we had in 2011-2014. ;0

So the people who have Peegs membership...that guy still holding on to the 27th?

Seems silly - Knight was hired on the 27th.  Not sure of the time it was announced, but feels more like catfishing than reality.

We paid more money with 1 check for Archie to go away than they have paid muss in two years to actually coach. They do not have more more money than IU could ever dream of

 

Stop it

Each school has its fair share of billionaires.  So, each is more than capable of paying him whatever he wants.  And not “more than IU could ever dream of”.  More of whether we are ok to outbid them and get to that number first.

Yeah, this.

In the last year there's easily available data for (2018-2019), Arkansas and IU were very similar in terms of athletic department revenues. Any money they have is based on boosters and alumni throwing money at the basketball program. Pretty sure IU has some of that, too.

[Iubravos]

Why do people act like Mussleman is Crean 2.0? That's just as inaccurate as you can get. If he comes here,  let's see what you say after 2 years.  I have a feeling you'll be saying,boy was I wrong on that opinion. 

[Trish]

“With the success of our team, he for sure has done what he needs to do for me and him to sit down and talk about what a contract looks like for him moving forward,” Arkansas athletic director Hunter Yurachek said in a press conference this week.

“Eric and I talk every single day. I talk to Eric’s agent [Jordan Bazant] at least once a week. We’re all on the same page, and I feel very comfortable with what that page is.”

 

“He’s egoless,” Danyelle Musselman added. 

“Few people can really understand this, but the only thing that really matters to him is basketball. It’s not money. It’s not fame. It’s just basketball. All he wanted was the basketball.”

[Trish]

In his press conference, Hunter Yurachek said he doesn’t expect Indiana’s opening to create additional leverage when it comes to how much Musselman will be offered in negotiations.

“A lot of times when other jobs open up, what you see in the media are agents planting things to get their coaches some leverage because they maybe haven’t been winning as much as they should have,” Yurachek said.

“As Eric’s agent and I talk, Eric’s got all the leverage he needs with me because we finished second in the SEC and we’re in the Sweet 16.

“Eric doesn’t need the leverage of an opening at Indiana to get the agreement that he needs here at the University of Arkansas. He’s got plenty of leverage by winning basketball games.”

 

“If your coach is two years in at your program and you get to the Sweet 16 — and you haven’t been there for 25 years — you feel really good about your hire,” Arkansas Athletic Director Hunter Yurachek said. “Things have just fallen into place with Eric as our coach.”

This is where I’m at:

1.Stevens

2. Lewis or Dane

3.monkey riding a dog

leaning towards #3 cause that would be enjoyable at halftime at least.

 

#3 is definitely one of the visuals Musselman uses with his player.

The whole “2.0” label IMO is simply a way to try to use one coach’s traits and stick them on another without doing the work.  Mussel man is a pretty good X and O guy.

Indiana is basketball!!!!

Very interesting read dated yesterday.  Mrs. Musselman is interviewed and some other tidbits.  What I get out of it is that Musselman has moved around a lot.  Loves basketball and his family. Arkansas Athletic Department may have been in debt recently. They may be getting some big bucks because of cable TV $$ owed.

Exactly,  Musselman is a great in game coach. He is light years ahead of Crean. Look at Crean at Georgia vs Muss at Arkansas. Muss would have us top 20 every year and chance for a title every few years like a Kansas. IMO

Yeah I posted some of the better quotes in the last page. Arkansas is a baseball / basketball school. First Sweet 16 in 25 years and they are going to let Mussleman walk? Not a chance. AD said himself the Indiana job shouldn't effect money at all.

If you ask Musselman he will bring  a line of bricks and 3 cardboard cutouts of Indycars to explain it to you.
