General Coach Candidate News

[FritzIam4IU 349]

Brad Stevens is definitely one guy IU should have no worries offering a 10 year deal to.

10 years $80 million...done and done.

Sign here please coach...

I still feel really good. I was actually told I might be a little low on the money amount. 

So are we talking more along the lines of $8M per? $9M?

Nope, not this time you slutty tease! I was ALMOST convinced by the Donovan hype last time. 

I am cautiously pessimistic about Stevens. I doubt he comes to IU....

 but I'm saying there's a chance (insert Dumb & dumber gif here >>  <<) 

 

I really did see a private jet though. I hope someone checked the flights.. ;(

Make no mistake about it, IU basketball is at a perilous crossroads.  No title since 1987, no consistency since Knight was fired.  This hire has to be a great one.  I think Dolson & company realizes that and will throw everything they have to bring in a whale.

Sorry guys, didn’t know he was on here. I’ll change my password. My apologies

You sure it wasn't you but you have two personalities. Like me a few weeks ago on HSN saying I had one voice telling me that Brad Stevens would be our next coach.  Then another voice was telling him how stupid he was to think Brad would come to IU.

As long as Calhoun's health isn't the word, I think we'll land on both feet.

Someone posted something that I felt was very relevant on this board right after CAM was fired...

They said something to the effect that if I'm being asked to pony up the money for the buyout or the "transition money" as AD Dolson put it, I'm not saying "Who are you trying to get?" as I'm reaching for my wallet...

I'd have to have a name or a short list of names and the guarantee that one of them will take the offer...

I think 8 would be tops. Can't believe I'm typing that

[mbredenk101 524]

7 years 50 million or 10 years 70 million

Gotta believe he would want enough money in the university or donor budget for top assistants as well...

Stevens to IU, Howard to Boston, and Beilein back to UM

He's an awesome coach, he would do very well.  His age is the only concern.

If I were Dolson, I would hire Beilein and give him good amount of money under one condition; hire an IU guy (Fife or Lewis, or Cheaney) as his top assistant, work with him closely, and teach him so he can be a successor when Beilein retires. I mean...if Stevens is not coming.

That would be the all time LOL'er.

Heck, moving to Indiana from Boston is already like a million dollar raise all things equal.

Agreed. But I can't imagine IU would offer 7-8 million a year and cheap out on the assistants if that is what it took to sign him up.

[Trish 11,414]

Dan thinks Brad’s interview indicates he may come to Indiana..

Oh my. Just a question, I hear the money is there this time around when it wasn't 4 years ago? Why is that?

Also with TA signing a major raise it seems to back that up.

I always thought $9-10M would be the magic number to bring him home.  But I know nothing.  Maybe he's worn out of the NBA.

I checked when you said something but I didn't see anything going to Bloomington. There was a Cessna that flew by Bloomington
