coonhounds Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 I thought offering brad what we were before was to high if we offer more I am out. He hasn't proven he is even in top 3 coaches pay I would say he needs prove something here then get a raise. Just my opinion.

This is just my opinion, but for him to raise more $$ and offer again says he feels he was so close. Many of us have known since yesterday morning he was looking for more $$ - privately we just wanted to not share this because none of us deserve to keep hoping and the odds of it working are slim. But I did get confirmation this morning that Dolson did raise what he wanted to. Honestly, I’m just ready for Beard. And I’m sorry I broke my promise to myself and got all your hopes up again. If true, I'm insulted I didn't get a phone call. I would've thrown in a Ben Franklin or 2. You missed out, Scott. 10,000,200/year looks better than 10,000,000/year. Just sayin. HinnyHoosier 1

IUguy77 Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 I’m not sure we know what might and might not be going on. At this point who knows. Maybe Stevens told Dolson he wants to finish his season but they only way to do it is to stop the leaks and the rumors. Then again maybe not. Guess we will just have to see what happens. I’m still confident we didn’t buyout 10 mill to hire Mije Woodson or Steve Alford. Dave from Dayton, IUMD98, jonz44 and 2 others 5

mdiu28 Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 Time to move on from Brad and maybe we get surprised. But I mean if you're just going to throw 10M at him, you might as well do the same to Billy Donovan. After watching YouTube interviews and videos of Beard (there are plenty, go watch them fellas), I've come around to Beard and would be ecstatic if we got him. jonz44, Indiana8585, lillurk and 3 others 6

I didn't think archie had any chance at keeping his job. Keeping him would prove we don't have standards for basketball at all.

Look at Archie’s record during his tenure and there was no other option. We were trending down in a program that was already underperforming coonhounds, pumpfake and woodenshoemanHoosierfan 3

If one of BS conditions was to finish out the season, they had to do something. I guess the longer this goes without a move in another direction, the more likely it becomes. pumpfake and kottke 2

It's a longshot but maybe it's not within Stevens nature to quit on a team mid-season. Some people actually hold on to shreds of integrity. IUMD98 1

There is no scenario where this drags out to May and June and people do not start to question if we are waiting him out. Then he is answering the questions he got during the playoffs. He's a masshole now. He is not our guy. He will never be our guy. Move on from this past week. T White 1

But we know Glass wouldn’t have done it and even if he wanted to Fire Archie he likely would have waited till next year after the buyout drops. Point is things are being handled much differently this time. Just like there not being a search firm. This situation feels more like a plan was in place than what we had from previous AD’s. bird4par, Todd Parker! and jonz44 3
Five Prime Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 Purely hypotheticals: -If it was known months ago Stevens would not quit the Celtics before the completion of the NBA season. -And Dolson et al were very confident, if not assured, they would get him. -And Archie had to be fired as soon as our season was over due to potential player transfers, fan backlash, recruiting fallouts. -Then Dolson and the rest of the team has to continue to throw out smoke screens and misleading information or the fan noise would be reaching a crescendo IUMD98, kottke, Artie86 and 1 other 4
Mr. Hoosier Pride Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 I’m done saying who I think it is or might be. Sure hope I’m wrong but this would make me think Dolson is an idiot a couple of days after I was ready to crown him the King. Please be wrong!!So when we couldn't get Stevens, the big time donor directed Scott to go get an IU guy... that's my guessWoodson or Alford Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk IUHAHN81 1

Very few/no one(?) is still “lightning him him up” When someone took a cheap shot this week, the mods took out the trash. There have been a ton of supportive posts. It sucks to stick your neck out and have it not happen, so I’d be less active for awhile too. Chris has still been posting. It’s all good—coaching searches are super interesting and fun! lillurk, cleeter, IU - Kaulie and 5 others 8
