When are we going to hear about the deets of the secret DM that @JerryYeagley23 sent last week @Chris007?

You’re making a little more out of it than it really is. It’s probably nothing. After we hire Brad I’ll tell you what it was about.

No sitting tenured P5 coach with a history of sustained success is going to jump ship for this fishbowl.

In your opinion

Suppose there was a poster who defended Woodson until the middle of this season. Imagine if this post spent the summer banging his chest over the portal "win" and telling us how great Woodson is.

Now suppose this poster was telling everyone that no coaches anyone on this board is talking about would come to IU. If they did, they wouldn't do well. The best IU could do was Pitino Jr who would do a great job here.

I don't know about everyone else, but I wouldn't really place too much confidence in that poster's ability to evaluate coaching prowess. And pretty much no one on this board has any real idea which coaches would or wouldn't agree to coach at IU.

lol!!!

If Kentucky couldn’t do it, Indiana certainly isn’t doing it.

We just gotta get some of us true fans over the hump and in a position to unite our thoughts on a head coach.

If Stevens really is the most likely candidate, I know people have mentioned the date of the NBA trade deadline as being a significant thing to keep an eye on. I’m curious to know how so? Let’s say 100% it’s going to be Brad, wondering how that would tie into Woodson being gone and if it’d trigger any now info or announcement of him being gone and Brad being the guy.

Wonder if they have voted this time. If they have I'm guessing it's 3-0 or at the very least 2-1

At what point do we buy champagne bottles to pop and Pull out of the box of cigars.

Wouldn’t that depend on which sitting coach IU went after.    Kentucky took a big swing and missed however if they would have kept going that route they couldn’t have gotten one.  They were comfortable with Pope and his ties to Kentucky

Stevens would have to resign effectively immediately before anything happened.

Will Wade with his high D1 players playing in the Southland is currently in a battle with Incarnate Word at home.  Incarnate up 1 with 40 sec to go

Stevens is the president of basketball operations for the most famed basketball franchise in the world looking to repeat.

Otzelberger is currently coaching college basketball.

There’s a better chance Woodson is retained than Stevens coaching IU next year.

They settled on Pope because they got taken for a ride after all the big wigs leveraged the UK job into raises and extensions.

Nah they got turned down by the real big wigs but could have gotten another sitting high major D1 sitting coach if they wanted.   They just went the Pope route.   Now this just all my opinion since I’m just a random poster on a free message board and no real clue on what actually happened

If Woodson retires, then Michigan knows our job is open and can sign him to an extension. If we have Stevens lined up none of that matters. 
Also after the trade deadline, the only thing left to do is set your playoff roster. He could be free to do other things.

Just win to move to 28-2 in the Southland through his first 30 games. McNeese St hadn’t had a winning record since 2011….

I would know what you want to buy but I don’t think you should rush out this week or anything.
