I'm gonna start with one of these fine gents:

• Wes Miller, Cincinnati
• Josh Schertz, St. Louis
• Micah Shrewsbury, Notre Dame
• Bucky McMillan, Samford

If I had to rank these four in order of my preference?

1. Shrews, 2. Bucky ball!, 3. Wes, 4. Schertz.

But there's a case to be made for any of them.

Wouldn’t mind Shrews rolling into town and bringing his recruiting class with him. Not one bit. Of this short list, he’d be my favorite too. Schertz would be a very fun coached team to watch, curious to see him at SLU. My preference… Ben McCollum, Drake’s new head coach. 43 years old. Stone cold winner from D2. Went 395-91 (.813) at NW Missouri State from 2009-2024. 4 D2 titles. 5x coach of the year. Undefeated early in his first year at Drake and just beat Miami FL yesterday

Drake doesn’t have the resources to protect him in the same way we safeguarded Cig unless I’m very mistaken.

No opinion on the Samford HC, though he’s done incredibly well there. The other 3 are obvious candidates. I’d add Medved, though he’s probably early 50’s and that might be the outer age limit for a guy moving up in class. Among the big name home run-types, you keep reading that Arizona has an NIL problem. Is Lloyd poachable? It’ll be interesting. Can’t imagine it wouldn’t be a quick process.

Medved might be a problem. He's been super-successful at CSU for seven years and no big program has come calling. To me that's a red flag.

Wes Miller has a $13 million buyout for the next few years. Even for a wealthy school like IU that's pretty high.

Didn’t someone say that Dusty May negotiated a low buyout after his first year at Michigan?

Y'all want to start discussing our next coach and credentials really think you should start a new thread devoted to just that topic.

Exactly. Try selling Woodson's song and dance crap to Curt Cignetti. As you have said, CCC has flipped the roster and changed the culture of the football program and is actually coaching the players and being successful... and we're only TEN GAMES into his tenure - one-tenth of the time Woodson has had...the results speak for themselves. 

Cignetti has real assistants that coach as well.  Our top 2 guys would all be number 3 recruiting guys on any other bench.

Anyone else awaiting Woodson's NBA connections to pay dividends finally? That was one of his main appeals, no? In addition to being an alumni?

This guy never would've been hired if he didn't play at Indiana. How sad is that to think about?

How would you know anything about this game if you weren’t paying attention?

For all you know, we were ahead by 25 and they hit a few prayer 3 point shots.

If you want to criticize the book, you should at least read it 

Blowing a lead of 25 points at home to a team ranked in the 150s only to claw back an 11 point win isn’t the flex you think it is here, but go off.

But they don't question Mike Woodson.

Weren’t they rated much lower than that?

Pretty sad and he still shouldn’t have been hired, IMO

I don’t think they would be that high!

I think it fits here!

[IUFAN1976 2,796]

Honestly, Crean would be a better coach and fit than Woodson.  With the current transfer portal and NIL, I think Crean could excel as a coach, definitely better than Woodson

True, but only when Mike Woodson tells Mike Woodson it’s time for some questioning!

Then Mike Woodson gets mad about being questioned Mike Woodson did his job.

Yep. This was stated over and over when he was hired... and 3+ years later, nothing has changed... he's still unhireable, yet, here he is, still clueless.

Mike Woodson says that true fans would know that.

Watching him on the bench, that is obvious!  He’s got that deer in the headlights look

And nothing says "we're not serious" like hiring someone simply because he played there 40 years ago.
