Exactly why Archie should’ve been retained. Until we 100% know we have a candidate. 
 

We’re screwed.

Still trust our insiders but I hope Dolson has some respect for IU here. We can't just wait and see what happens with Brad and the NBA playoffs. Hope he didn't say "here's our offer, we'll wait until we see what happens with the NBA playoffs" You have to be willing to walk away. Offers shouldn't be open ended. I want Brad as much as the next but if he doesn't want to come, and if the huge offer we (allegedly) threw at him isn't enough - goodbye.

You can't just take the job whenever you want, Brad.

So you don't think Stevens actually saying that is a lie.  I understand if it is from media guys but if Stevens is saying it I don't think he is coming

Yeah, if Stevens is as upstanding as everyone says, it's hard to imagine him being that definitive if he thinks he's going to take the job.

There are denials like he gave the other day, and then there is what was just published, which is more clear and vehement then anything previously. Maybe he pulls a Saban? But idk.

To be honest, if this is true and Brad doesn't want the job after being offered $7 million a year to come home then screw it... go get someone who actually WANTS the job.

Just so you guys don’t go on another ride, there’s going to be another wave of denial. Just be prepared.  We are good!

Just quoting this so everyone sees it.

We were never getting Stevens anyways. But getting rid of Archie was the best thing unless you were ready to sit out on March Madness for the next 4 years.

Maybe the real Brad Stevens were the friends we made along the way

It’s incredible Brad Stevens has to even spell this out for people. No one is leaving a head coaching job in the NBA for college anymore. Not the Celtics. Not the Kings. Not anyone, anywhere. Nobody is returning to college unless they’re no longer welcome to stay in pros.

Partial Woj bomb

I mean this thread was entertaining and everything but if you actually though he’d leave Boston to come here you are delusional. No other word for it. It was never a possibility. Even IF he got fired in Boston he’d get another head coaching chance somewhere else. We aren’t that enticing of a job for elite talent. Time to come to terms with that.

Sounds pretty definitive to me. 

On a positive note, the NCAAT has barely started so the next coach is probably busy.

Beard is awesome I'd happily take him. We all should be lucky to get beard.

Relax. No need to be a prick. 

Don't worry he is flaming on the other site as well.  I have never seen the likes of people threatening people on message boards.  So, dumb.  We all have our opinions and believe what we choose.  The bottom line is that I read damn near every comment on this thread and am disappointed if this is true.  But, to say someone needs a brick to the head.  C'mon.  Grow the hell up.
