How many of them want to coach at Indiana University

Not sure, If Scott hired a committee and let me join then I would let you know!

Hmmm. @Chris007 said Cheaney got a courtesy interview yesterday via phone... at least that what I thought he said.

Could be he was called back for a more formal interview via zoom.

Exasperated!

I don't know about you or your source, but I find this more credible than almost all the rumors. 
 

I understand that I haven’t built credibility on this site as I’ve been in and out for 5 or so years.

BUT(!) I can assure everyone that my source won’t know know every detail or will choose just not to tell me every detail. I’ll just pass any info on that is shared with me that I’m lucky enough to receive. I do know what is shared with me is straight from inside the athletic department.

I’ll do it for 900K a year. Let the assistants make more than me. Hire an offensive and defensive coordinator. Recruiter.

 

I call the times outs and stand up, work the sidelines / refs. 

So pretty much continue doing what you already do but from a better seat.

Who is the most obvious, non-controversial, at least somewhat plausible candidate that has had the least amount of smoke?

Christopher Michael Beard.

Been saying it and saying it, but my gut says its gonna be him. Probably wrong, but I want to at least try to speak it into fruition.

I'm with you on this. 

Our coach next year will either be Chris Beard or John Beilein.

Just guessing, don't ask me how I know - I don't.

Well to be fair I do a little bit of coaching myself. But yes, would love the job. I’ll start tomorrow.

Question is by who? Athletic Dept, Media, ourselves?

Grifters and trolls.

Either of those names are NOW HOMERUNS in comparison to Woodson or Calbert

I do think all this strum und drang is fun/funny and even occasionally informative, but it’s all just biding time for Beard or Musselman. 

[Trish 11,408]

Lets interview Kyle Hornsby tomorrow. 
 

- He’s an IU grad

- He’s a doctor

- He’s smart

Good enough!

Yep. I mean someone earlier mentioned how in the last 3 hiring processes how none of the coaches (Sampson, Archie, Crean) were thought to be the favorites or the most talked about candidate. I would imagine that the same thing is happening hear.

Yeah, it’s appearing pathetic at this point. No offense to the Indiana guys but they have virtually zero college resume.  Indiana isn’t the ideal spot to learn on the job.

Pump the brakes on the former player hate man. I like your takes, but this is getting bush league real quick.

I love Kyle! One of my top 5 Hoosiers.

Jordan Hulls

AJ

Kyle

DJ

Dane or Tom probably 

[lillurk 3,668]

None of the former players are near the top of my list and I stand by my Beard/Muss guess...but it’s not terribly hard to imagine Woody, Fife, or even Calbert being a good college coach.

It’s getting depressing. I’m losing faith in Dolson even though I know we know almost nothing about the search. At this point, with some of these names being thrown out it’s going to look like a good hire if whoever it is has college head coaching experience. I think Woodson is a very bad candidate but even his coaching resume looks great compared to Cheaney’s.

I like Jake but I believe he might be a day behind.

It was for sure yesterday, might have been zoom, CC just said he talked to Dolson. I assumed it was phone.

I don't really get this line of thinking. It's been established that no one knows anything that's going on. Until we actually hire a coach I feel like this is premature. I'm still hoping he's waiting on a tourney coach but it'd look pretty bad if it leaked that we were interviewing say Musselman while his team was still in the tourney. I guess I'm of the opinion that if one of these IU guys or Beilein was who we wanted then we would've hired them already.
