Stuhoo Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 Rothstein went out on a limb ;) and said we have head coach candidates that are former IU players. Let’s rank ‘em — the six real ones (no Ivan Renko or Dakich please). In alphabetical order they are: Alford, Cheaney, Fife, Lewis, Smart, and Woodson. No need for commentary (unless you want to). Rank ‘em! Quote
HoosierDYT Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 1. Fife 2. Lewis 3. Cheaneey 4. Smart/Woodson/Alford I really, really hope we don't go down this route for our head coaching vacancy. But, if we do, I guess I value potential more than other factors such as NBA experience... Quote

pumpfake Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 The safest of that group would be Alford. While not great, he has had some nice seasons at UCLA. Has Cheaney ever been a head coach? If not, he'd be the riskiest. I can see reasons why the NBA guys would be more desirable and why they'd be a bigger gamble - basically they're the direct opposite of the Fife/Lewis duo. I'm not enamored of anyone on that list individually. Maybe in conjunction with a veteran coach/mentor/recruiter. IDK, but I'm pretty sure none of them would be considered "home runs" by the majority of the fanbase and each would probably disappoint many as well. Quote

HoosierKnight Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 Fife & Lewis. The others shouldn’t even be under consideration. Some of them could be assistants, but that’s it. bigrod 1 Quote

8bucks Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 1) Woody (especially if Lewis is an assistant) 2a) lewis 2b) Fife 2c) Alford 3) Smart The order can change based on how i felt after hearing their plan, checking with those who know how they have led and coached I prefer someone who has a solid plan, is excited about the opportunity, is respected by those he has coached and worked with Quote
LamarCheeks Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 Alford Woodson Fife/Lewis (tie) Smart Cheaney It really pains me to rank Alford No. 1 -- because I think he's a sleazeball -- but he's really the only option with some college head coaching chops. Cal is my favorite all-time player (he was at IU when I was there), but it seems that I've read from one of our insiders -- think it was Chris007 -- that he has no interest in being a head coach, and in fact, he doesn't even have any interest in being a college assistant. And I wouldn't want someone who's heart wasn't in it. I also wouldn't want him to tarnish his legacy. If someone put a gun to my head and said we HAD to hire an "IU guy," -- I think my preference might be Woody as lead with Lewis as top assistant with the thought that Michael would take over in a few years.
