Candidate Thread: Brad Stevens (Boston Celtics)

[Hoosierfan1901 6,785]

Also, it was reported Moser was staying at Loyola

[Hoosierfan1901 6,785]

But right now, we all know it’s Brad Stevens

I'm going to hold out hope that no one knows anything so if there is chatter about Moser it won't be him. Would really be disappointed if Moser was who we end up with after all this.

That’s the part that keeps me thinking it’s not him.  Unless he’s ran out of options?

My question is if he gets turned down by all the top guys do we blame Dolson or what is the main problem.  I think a lot of it would be that a ot of coaches are content where they are at and don't need to uproot their families trying to climb the ladder.  Also if we strike out with the top candidates I would rather go with Beilein and try to get Lewis or Fife to be one of the assistants

Moser would be stupid to leave Loyola. Dude has guaranteed job security there at this point.

Me too!

[IU Scott 2,375]

To me this shouldn't go below Beilein if you can't get the top guys.  to me Beilein would be one of my top guys no matter what so to me that would be  a no brainer.

Agreed but he's probably taken Loyola as far as they can go. 

If he wants to win a NC, he needs to leave. I just don't think we're in a position to be the school that takes a risk on him.

[Hoosierfan1901 6,785]

I want Brad though :(

No way.  Just no way.  I'm like the biggest IU fan ever.  I would cry during the Calbert Cheaney days when we lost.  If Moser is the hire I'm gonna buy gold and black gear and change my allegiance.  Seriously.  No way Scott is that dumb.

Nothing could ever make me change my alliances especially for Purdue

He's made 2 tournaments in 17 years.....at some point ya just gotta know who you are. 

[HoosierBoiler 238]

Moser ....other than money why does he want IU job? Look at Archie ...IU didn’t hold any special place in his heart. NC state yeah. No outsider can understand what basketball means in Indiana. Coach has to exude that from his soul to the players in my opinion. Stevens grew up like us home run hire. 99% chance not getting him.

I think we will have a coach really soon, unfortunately I think it’s Moser.

I will be extremely disappointed if that’s the case, but I will give him my full support until the results don’t show. We still don’t know who it is, but I hope everyone will support Moser, Brad ******* Stevens, or whoever else they hire.

Brad, please come home! Lol.

Dear god no. 

[HinnyHoosier 5,376]

0708, is this your way of helping to lower our expectations for our own sake? That way when the actual non-Stevens (and also non-Moser) hire is announced we at least feel decent about it?

(Please let that be the case)

I would hope you have already come to the conclusion that it is not going to be Stevens so there shouldn't be any disappointment.
