Popular Post theriverpilot Posted March 19, 2021 Popular Post Posted March 19, 2021 So....exactly what have lost here? Something we didn't have? The skin hasn't fallen. It's just the same clouds we had at the end of the year. Still plenty of options available.I’m disappointed and hate that we missed on Stevens but the “lost credibility” comments seem a little extreme. It’s not like you lost your life savings in some Ponzi scheme. I think the intel was solid. The guy just said “no thanks.”Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Hillsdale87, mamasa, Chris007 and 6 others 9
Bowhunter Posted March 19, 2021 Posted March 19, 2021 I will apologize if there is a Boston to Brad Steven raise. That means Our guys were right. Until then, I’m just venting cause my common sense was trying to tell me different and again I didn’t listenSent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Artie86 1

On to the next candidate. Hopefully we can get Beard. That would still be a homerun in my book. Ditto, and I urge them to soldier on and continue to keep us informed - there's still a coaching search in progress for God's sake! Alford Bailey and cleeter 2

FWHoosier84 Posted March 19, 2021 Posted March 19, 2021 I always thought of the Stevens hire as winning the powerball. We had a ticket in our hand and the numbers didn't hit. Doesn't mean it wasn't fun thinking of what could have been. Until we see the Dolson with the new coach, I'll keep my hopes up. Didn't Stevens deny he was leaving for Boston? After having 3 days of prep, did we think he was going to drop the news before a game or give another awkward press conference? I appreciate @Chris007 and @IUwins0708 info and I hope this saga isn't over! kottke and Hippopotamo 2
woodenshoemanHoosierfan Posted March 19, 2021 Posted March 19, 2021 I will say that IU met with the Stevens family since January, maybe even end of December. It was a good fit we thought, we listened to everything they had to say, we met everything they wanted, they agreed to the offer, then went back to Boston and he got the sesame things from them. 2.5 million raise to over 7 million now. If this is then end of Brad then Scott will get someone good for 7 million. I’m sorry I just tried to pass on everything I getting. I don’t get paid for this and I’m just as disappointed as anyone Nothing to apologize for Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk mamasa, pumpfake, Hippopotamo and 4 others 7

DWB Posted March 19, 2021 Posted March 19, 2021 I'm looking at this from a different angle... IF, we negotiated in good faith (I assume so) and gave Stevens everything he wanted and IF, he said "that's good. I'm in" (or something similar to I accept) and then IF, Boston matches are beats the offer a little, and Stevens reneges on his acceptance... Then Stevens is the ONLY one that loses credibility IMO. I rec'd an offer from a business, told them it was good, and I was in, and when I told my boss I was leaving, they promised me a promotion and more money to stay. I said "where has that been before now?" (I left) Stevens may not have "played" IU, but it seems apparent that his word doesn't mean much...at least to me.

I'd love to think we still have a chance, and Stevens didn't say anything that convinced me this was over, but our insiders all backtracking like this has me thinking it's done.
