Candidate Thread: Brad Stevens (Boston Celtics)

[woodenshoemanHoosierfan 6,703]

Yeah but it doesn't seem like we've really reached out to anyone else and we fired Archie almost immediately and with a $10M buyout.  Has to have been some fire there.

Just because we haven't heard anything, doesn't mean they haven't reached out. Relax and let it play out.

That's the problem. 

No it isn't. the problem is lack of patience on hiring the new coach. It's only been 6 days.

Wasn't Keady in Bloomington yesterday visiting Coach Knight? Maybe Dolson wants to talk to both of them about being Co-Coaches. 

Also, I would like to thank the insider's for everything they bring to the forum. Doesn't matter if it's right or wrong info. They are just passing on what they have been told and it isn't the gospel. For me anything they share is very much appreciated.

Oh good lord.

It’s a message board and it’s not even a little offensive.

There’s plenty of truly awful fan takes out there on social media (what came at Lidell today). Find something real to be offended by.

 

Wasn’t offended at all. I was just pointing out how silly/wishful the sentiment is.

I’m disappointed we didn’t get Brad because he was the one coach the fan base agreed upon. Now we’ll continue to see the “I didn’t want Coach ______” every time he fails to meet that person’s expectations.

The only ones I would ***** about are Alford, Pearl, Fife(if a Martelli like associate head coach or number 1 assistant is hired also) and whatever mid major coach makes a run during this Tournament.

I will say I find it incredible that people can be led objectively and demonstrably astray by a few people and then want more info from those people. And then someone points this out and gets attacked. 
 

We should be hoping for Thad or Mussel. Beard is never happening. Bennett is never happening. Brad - I will say it again, he was never seriously considering the job.  Belein is too old.

 Celtics have a game today and they have a 3 game losing streak.

[Bowhunter 3,129]

Brace yourselves for a major letdown and I mean major. unbelievable 

I would assume you are talking about the Mike Woodson chatter over on Peegs/ Rabjohns .

I’m wondering if we should close this thread until there’s anything credible to make us believe it’s not over.

You seem to speak in absolutes.  I'm not saying you're wrong but why should I believe you?

I was wondering the same exact thing! 

[woodenshoemanHoosierfan 6,703]

Again why people having a melt down over some speculation that no one evens knows if it has any truth at all.  we should have learned by now not to get carried away because someone on a message boards says something might happen.  Remember going into yesterday that people said it was a done deal and that Stevens was coming which we now no is false.

Exactly. Relax. Unless it's Alford, Pearl or the next "hot" coach in this year's Tournament or another Archie(results), we will be fine.

Like all the people that spoke in absolutes that BS was coming?

Major letdown, eh?

Probably someone we haven't mentioned once.

Todd Lickliter? Buzz Williams? The Fist? Scott Skiles? Woodson? Wittman?

I need a vomit bag.

I'm sure Frank Martin is ready to get out of South Carolina (sarcasm).

Bringing back the one and only!

[Kentuckysucks 4,336]

To be fair, there were smoke screens galore the last couple hires.  We were all convinced Kruger was the guy at one point.  The Janitor was saying 4 years ago that it was Alford even though he was never considered. If Dolson is at least somewhat intelligent he's keeping things very close to the vest and putting out many smoke screens.  We have no reason not to trust him at this point.  So everyone should.  Now if he actually does hire Woodson, Alford, Beilein, etc then all hell will break lose.  Until then stay calm.

If what Chris007 and IUwins0708 reported is true, we've done more than enough to try to lure Stevens. If he doesn't want to be in B-town -- then let's put him in our rearview mirror.

I want someone at IU who really wants to be there and is qualified -- not because he couldn't say no to an insane amount of money. 

 

 

If Alabama took that approach they never would’ve gotten Saban. He waffled a lot. Reportedly, the AL AD flew down there and held Saban and his agents hand as they called Miami ownership and then immediately flew Saban back to Tuscalussa before he could change his mind.

Well hopefully Dolson has soft hands :)
