God almighty, why would you want to stay in Boston after 8 years? I understand wanting to take the job initially because it’s a legendary job. But, after 8 years of mediocre/decent results and no pipeline to success on the horizon- why would you want to stay in that town? Especially if you are offered twice as much money and will likely have immense success here? 
 

I have no info but I still think it’s gonna happen.

Not that he's staying, going, or disappearing to join the circus, but:

1. He has been to three Eastern Conference Finals in four years. That is NOT mediocre/decent.
2. Boston is maybe the most excellent City in America, especially if one is wealthy. It has. It. All.

Agreed, and I’m not a mod like Stuhoo, but if you’re posting an opinion, just say so. Don’t pass your hungry gut’s feeling off as insider info

Why is that someone else’s obligation? If you believe everything on a message board that doesn’t have a disclaimer is inside info, that’s a you problem.

Billy 2.0 would be awful. Then top choices turn Us down and we end up with another Archie or slightly better. I don’t know what worse, hiring a coach who gets fired after 4 years or keeping one that’s just decent enough to have us dancing for several years, losing in the 1st round?

I started a fire in my mom and dads fireplace for them at lunch. When I went outside it was smoking white! Is it a sign?

I feel good about my ability to know who to trust but just think it’s a bad look to act like you’ve got sources. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I believe Stevens is overrated and certainly not worth the numbers being thrown around.   I think it’ll be someone like beard or musselman.  Maybe Altman or the guy at Loyola.

$10M to that donor is like $5 to you or I

You don’t get to a point in life where you  have $10m of play money to throw around on coach buyouts if you’re not assured there will be a top level replacement.

Time for Tom Crean and Brad to both go back home.

I don’t think at any point that poster was “acting like he had sources”.

I think will be much worse since it appears to be a legit option. Didn't Glass admit he never reached out to BD? It was all made-up hype where this seems a legit negotiation. 

I never expected BS, so I won't be completely crushed, but hard not to get swept up in the dream. At least the prominent names being mentioned are all winners at P5 level. None really thrill me, but I feel IU will almost certainly be in better hands at least.
