If Otzelberger isn’t option 1 or 2 then what are we even doing?

Otz and Stevens are like chocolate and vanilla ice cream. We’re much more likely to end up with meat and potatoes (let’s hope) or brussel sprouts and quinoa (let’s hope not). 

They are just different flavors of the same home run wish or as you call it “ghost story” lol

You have maybe posted this, but I likely missed it in the billions pages. 

If you don't think Stevens, May, Pearl are realistic, what is your list of candidates you would like to see / that you think would have interest?

He wants Will Wade LOL!

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!!

 

The entire fanbase will never be fully reunited. Because some fans think other fans are racist, and that comes from both directions. (Unfortunately-the burners have made it clear they think that’s why fans are hard on Woodson). There’s also a bit of a political divide no one wants to acknowledge that plays a big factor as well. Even the Ex-players are not united in what they see and want.

 

BUT I DO KNOW THIS. Winning and having fun unites the vast majority. This is what we need. It’s always what we’ve needed.

 

I didn’t want to do the Woodson experience because I had a pretty good idea where it was headed. But I think it was a necessary step for a segment of past players and alums. Will that camp remain Indiana fans going forward? I hope so.

And let’s not forget the bold proclamations about how great this year’s team would be.

Hell, the fans who wanted Woodson for a coach are a dying breed....literally.

Otz is much more realistic candidate. He actually wants to coach college basketball and is currently doing so.

Calhoun, McCollum, etc would all get swallowed, chewed up, and spittin out here. Pitino wouldn’t. Confident saying that.

We had 600 pages devoted to Bruce Pearl last year who was also never going to coach at IU.

And?

Damn straight. Anybody who actually wants to win at a high level would too. UNC won’t care about transgressions almost a decade ago and they’ll go back to winning at a high level again.

MJ is an awful executive, who cares what he thinks. I certainly don’t.

MJ didn't really read your comment. 

I was just kidding.

There is an allure to giving fans what they want for those who are of that stature. Brad knows damn well that if he took the job he'd be looked at like he walks on water. Couple that with the fact he's expressed (supposedly) that he'd one day coach IU, I think the draw for him is greater than people think. And if his wife is a good one (supportive), she'll tell his a$$, "Go get those banners babe!" Sometimes you gotta go fulfill dreams. Even if you already have it made.
