General Coach Candidate News

[IUHAHN81]

Screw that! If he's making $11 mil, offer him $15 mil and tell him he's gotta coach without assistants since we won't be able to foot their salaries too!

I haven't read every post. It's hard to keep up. But out of curiosity, is Oats a viable candidate? I believe he would be good hear. He isn't my number 1 by no means.
I hope Stevens comes, but I will believe it when I see it.
I like Dusty, but will he be willing to leave Michigan after 1 year. I'm not so sure.
I might like to see Beard only if they do very deep dive and see if the incident was a 1 time incident or a pattern.
I know some only want the white whate. I understand that. We shall see.

In the end, I hope Dolson identifies a coach who can bring us back to prominence.

Whatever we are willing to spend on a guy who hasn’t coached college in 12 years should be offered to the very best coaches in the game right now.

And/or more NIL

It's pretty simple. If he want's to coach college, he knows the job is his.  All he needs to do is pick up the phone.  If he doesn't want it, then move along.  No reason to belabor it.  

Yep exactly! I just wish sometimes a coach or in this case Stevens would come out and say I’m not interested in coaching at this time (if he actually isn’t interested) and I’m happy in Boston and want to stay. There is zero chance he’s oblivious to him being at the top of the candidate list.

If I didn't know better I would think the people who run this board put moles on this board to spread rumors to keep people coming to the board.

Hey Scott I’ll give you a cut of my ad revenue if you quit blowing up my spot.

He literally did that 4 years ago lol.

Huge buyout.   Has things rolling at Bama.  Made a final 4 already and has them in position to be a 1 seed in the tourney again.  Don’t think he would want to leave Bama for a rebuild unless it’s North Carolina or Kansas.   Told Kentucky thanks but no thanks last cycle

No not really.  Said great things about Indiana and IU.  A couple weeks later called himself a masshole.

Is there any pulse on Scott Drew?

My old high school coach was a video scout coordinator on Scott Drew’s staff and is now an assistant coach for one of his former top associate head coaches… I’ll text him tomorrow and see if he thinks Drew would ever leave Baylor. He still meets up with Drew every final 4 at the coaches conference

Is the guy not allowed to be a fan of IU while also not wanting to coach there? I’m sure the Stevens are sick and tired of having to quell these rumors every few years.

Lots of smoke screens being put out as well as flat out false info. Front my position Brad being the next coach has never been closer as of this afternoon. Let Scott work!

IsaacTor had ONE post on this board before today, and it came on 3/6/24, at 3:17 p.m. It was announced around 7 p.m. that night that Woodson was getting another year.

 

Something to consider. 

 

This makes me feel better.  Thank you.

I choose to believe this is NOT a smokescreen, because I want it to be true.

He knows a lot of people.  Has Leary, Bozich,  Mike Decourcy, etc on his show all the time.  Has had Dusty on before.  He knows a ton of people.

And given how ridiculous NBA salaries have gotten I believe him.

not saying he doesn’t know people, but he definitely isn’t reliable

There’s no way as a GM they are paying him that much. That would

be triple his coaching salary. I’d be surprised if he got much of a raise to take over for Ainge. He’s probably in the 5mil a year ballpark. 

It does seem high, 11.5 would mean the Celts are  paying more for him to be front office than all but like 4 head coaches.. I can’t imagine that’s the case for an exec but who knows.
