Hoosierfan1901 Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 Maybe it’s all talk and in a couple of months Stevens take the job and will laugh at this moment. Probably not....but one can hope! IUMD98, Chris007, Trish and 1 other 4

But if we miss on Beard, Matta is a great consolation prize, imo. Matta would certainly be a better option than Woodson. If the purpose of the Woodson rumor was to make Matta more palatable then it worked.

Why not let it play out before making judgement on a hire that hasn't happened yet. I find it funny that posters on here and other boards take the words of so called insiders as gospel. Anyone on the board could come in and say they have sources and say things will happen even though they have no clue what is going on. GaryP, Hardwood83 and T White 3
Hoosierfan1901 Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 Like what Scott said, let it play out and see who will get

My question is if Beard didn't have Knight ties, would people be as high on him? Yeah he made a NC runner up run. We fired a guy who did that. Beard has 2 20 win seasons in 5 tries. We fired a guy for having 4 of in 6 tries. I get he's at TT and it's not an easy place to win, but a washed up Knight strung together a string of 20 win years at the end of his career there. It's not impossible to be relatively successful there. NVFalcons1990 and T White 2

Hoosierfan1901 Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 If I recall, Saban denied the Alabama job over a 5-7 week period, not saying it won’t happen for Stevens, but there is a chance Artie86 and NVFalcons1990 2

IU Scott Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 Right now my list would be Beard Matta Beilein NVFalcons1990, jonz44 and NCHoosier 3

Still does he leave for Texas in 3-4 years once Shaka is let go? He's a Texas guy, not a Midwest guy. Hell Matta still lives here and his pedigree is impeccable. Never had a losing record!!!!

I wish I had that much money to spend on C list names. Stop mixing up the numbers. $10 million was the cost to fumigate AH of the stench of the last 4 years. What we spend and the ROI for the next coach is still totally unknown. Though it's valid to be concerned based on the limited info we have.
