Candidate Thread: John Beilein

[HinnyHoosier 5,018]

I've heard some buzz here today. Know [mention=7005]Chris007[/mention] is probably a little burned by the Stevens 'no' but curious if anyone else is hearing things here.

“Here”

Like, on this board? Because I haven’t seen it. I haven’t heard anything elsewhere either. As others have noted today, it’s been quiet.

Why don’t you just post what you are hearing??

I said I'm hearing some buzz (that he's going to be the guy). I'm now here looking for corroborating evidence. I don't know if it's legit or not.

Sorry. Didn’t read it as buzz Beilein was going to be the hire.  Appreciate you sharing although I hope this is NOT the case.

Bump. I posted in another thread that JB would be a coach that would make Lander happy (grew up a michigan fan). Could be something, could be nothin. 

JB has been a polarizing candidate for a lot due to his age. Would be interesting to see how Dolson handles that if he is the guy

I know @IU - Kaulie has been holding down the fort here

Another point towards Beilein is that three players on the team currently were sought after by JB when he was at Michigan. 

Jerome, Race, and Lander. Would be interesting to see if he could completely change the way they play since he had a vision for them when he recruited them.

I know it’s obvious that I love JB!  I would be so happy so hoping it’s something :)

Same. I don't think the thug comment is that serious, his record is what we'd drool over. I think Matta is a bigger game then JB. It's JB, Beard or Musselman. Everything else is greater risk to me.

Just here to say JB is our best option now (if message board dramas unfolding are reality)

Assuming everyone still coaching or just stopped (Beard, Bennett) has said no, I agree.

He has always been at the top of my wish list

Possible new coach?

Would you trust anyone on the current roster to throw that pass? See, he’s upgrading the skill level already.
