You think he turned the job down because of money 4 years ago?

Ya. It wasn’t an offer he couldn’t refuse, clearly. Don’t see it any differently this time around. He’s got the comfiest job in basketball.

Yeah, but we are talking two Sweet 16s vs. two NC games and an NBA championship. I'm OK paying a little more for that, especially when it's not IU's money

I don’t think some people really take this into consideration!

Why do you think I listed Otzelberger? His buyout would be a non-starter if he wanted to come to IU. He’d be cheaper than Stevens even with the buyout.

“clearly”, we will just agree to disagree here.

Man...I'm beginning to think that not even Brad Stevens can unite this fan base. We people can't even agree that there might actually be a chance you get him....geez. I'm wondering if some will actually be disappointed at the press conference when he is announced as the coach. To me, my day to day life doesn't change regardless who is hired so who care about the potential of being disappointed again? I am excited to have Brad freaking Stevens as the head coach of IU!!

Well, I don’t know why we hold out any hope since AH1971 has already made it his mission to talk everyone out of Stevens.  Load ‘em up boys, time to move on and hire whatever low major directional school’s coach would sign at IU after he gets back to us.  He’s got a guy on the line two who wants a set of whitewalls.

Who cares how much we pay if it isn’t your money? 

This thread has been full of people complaining about how much this team is getting paid. And it’s not their money

Looking at Otz record...what made Iowa State want him after going 17-15 Y1 and then 12-15 Y2 at UNLV. I am not familiar with his background, but he jumped from South Dakota State where he won a lot in 3 years, to 2 very mediocre/bad years at UNLV, to Iowa State. 

He was an Iowa St assistant for many years.  Even left and went to another school as an assistant for a year before  came back as the associate head coach before he left for South Dakota St

Paycheck-wise... but neither were close to top 10, performance-wise.

Yes, but since the post I replied to and quoted was about salaries, I didn't feel the need to state that is what I was talking about.

Nah it’s clearly like 3 people on this board who aren’t on the same page as everyone else and they are just doing it for fun. Pretty obvious lol

No bueno.

No bueno at all.

[IUHAHN81 2,388]

How about when Brad becomes the coach, we all gather at his residence for a Brad and Btownbanners potluck. We can all sing Kum ba yah! Brad can bring the championships and we can bring the side dishes.

I vote we launch Ferguson out of a cannon to a deserted island with no technology so there's zero chance of an ignorant comment screwing things up again.

Certainly, the ROI is in the toilet on player's salaries... and Woodson is incredibly overpaid... and there's 1944 pages of supporting documentation.

Full disclosure, I’d love to have Brad Stevens on board. But more importantly, I stopped believing in ghost stories when I was 9 or 10 years. Any serious discussion involving IU’s next coach doesn’t include Brad Steven’s.

Would people actually be looking for stuff like this if he hadn't forced Woodson on IU then forced a 4th year when it was obvious it wasn't working? Probably not. I hope all of his corruption gets brought out into the open. I doubt this was the only time he used university funds inappropriately.

[IUHoosier5 1,851]

Once again I say, may this team find a way into the tournament since Woodson is done-zo regardless.

I just don’t see how you can say that, and expect us to accept that as fact, because it’s not.

 

I can sit here and say “if you don’t think Brad is a possibility, then you are dead wrong”, but that would be a lie. Unless you are Scott or Brad himself, you can’t sit here and say that Brad isn’t a serious contender, or that he will be or won’t be 100% out next coach.

 

Do I think he ends up our coach? I don’t, because that would just be too damn amazing. But no one can sit here and say he 100% will not be without guessing.

Agree with you, but that wasn’t the point. It’s not our investment, so as the post I quoted suggests, “who cares?”
