If Stevens ends up at IU I cannot wait to quote so many of these downers. It’s okay to be excited about a possibility. 

Yeah so listening to all this downers decided to do the old Google search.  What is Brad Stevens's net worth?  Best number that I could come up with is 6 million.  Now 6mil is nice sum but it's not generational wealth.  Stevens signs for 10mil+ per year for his first contract...just imagine what his second contract would be and all the endorsements that he could do.  He would build generational wealth for his family.

True that he did not deserve to be hired, to be retained or to finish the season... but on the other hand, this is 100% his crapfest and at this point, he needs to own it to the bitter end. No sympathy. No soft-pedaling it. Burn it down. TO. THE. GROUND. 

His and Buckner and everyone else responsible for Woodson being the coach here.

Obviously you don't know much because I'm for Beard. But coming from the administration side it's just not likely. But you do you

Does last nights crap show increase the chance of him being out before the season ends, or do you think they’ll just let him ride out the rest of the season to soak in the losses? After last nights performance I can’t decide whether I hope he coaches the Michigan and get embarrassed, or if there’d be no way the administration risks having him deal with the mayhem.

I personally don’t think it’s about the $$ for Brad - more so the timing for him, his family, and if he actually wants the job.

That's just silly because:

1. The chances of Mike Woodson being coach next season are ZERO.
2. So, even if the chances of Stevens are also zero, the worst it could be is a tie with the chances of Woodson returning.

Why are you telling people what they need to do? I can guarantee you that Stevens has a better chance of being the head coach of IU than Chris Beard will ever have.

Chris, this is likely another iteration of AH1971, among other user names.

Writing style of so many of the “contrarian” posters is similar, and then post count and frequency are telling, also. This account was created long ago, had a few posts in 2017 - then all of a sudden shows up now? Deliberate pot-stirrer.

Unless Brad Stevens has a crippling gambling addiction that number is almost certainly wrong. He signed a six year, $22 million contract with the Celtics back in 2013 and then got raise(s) after that.  His salary now isn’t publicly available but I found an article from 2017 that said: 

The Cleveland Cavaliers offered Chauncey Billups what is viewed in NBA circles as a below-market salary of $2 million annually for the role of serving as president of basketball operations, league sources told ESPN.

According to sources, the team's initial offer was $1.5 million. League sources told ESPN that $4 million is typically the starting point of what an individual in that role should earn.

So, as president of basketball operations of the Celtics he’s still making millions of dollars a year.

If you don't have a job briefing and not decide on a safe word. You're just leaving unlimited chances of misinterpretation 

What are you eluding to?  Just curious!

It's not. I'm not interjecting myself into any more Stevens circle jerk talk. When Woodson is let go and this board wants to get serious about realistic candidates I'll gladly partake.

^^^^^this.

Personally, I believe that the timing is right and assuming discussions are taking place that BS does indeed have interest. Family might be a sticking point because of the daughter still in school, but if BS is ever going to roam the sidelines at IU this is the best opportunity for the it to ever happen.

The only thing IU fans have right now is hope!

We have Mike Woodson's coaching genius to look forward to. Real savant he is.

They were honestly harmless back then too, we for some reason felt the need to flog ourselves over it. Should've just backed him and taken the slap on the wrist, and gotten back to winning in a year.

Who was going to coach for the 5 year show cause he got that sidelined him?

Not to mention, if May takes the job, the IU job shouldn’t open for 15+ years.   So it’s now or never for BS imo.

Something to think about, WHEN Woodson is done, what happens to Zrno, and Sisley. I would be very interested to see if you see some decommitments or if they stay firmly committed, then I would like to believe a plan had been in place long enough for Zrno to choose IU for that reason.

Please let me know your thoughts as next year could be insanely fun with a 9-3+ Football team and an IU Basketball team with a new house and a matchup against UK in Lexington.

I agree. Great coach and would do well here, but just don’t see it.   Especially if Louisville and UK passed on him. 
 

I still wonder if Beard used a PR firm and addressed/admitted his mistakes, how he’s actively working daily to be a better person, etc, if that would somehow change the perception of him?

His winning changed my perception, that is just icing on the cake!

I get more enjoyment coaching my 3rd grade daughter’s team than watching IU this year.

Except it's not a possibility. We have two past coaching searches where everybody was just so sure Stevens, Donovan, and every other "hot" name was coming here, and look at what we wound up with. Archie and Mike. I'll take the track record of that past "sure thing" over the same tired lines now. Stevens won't be at IU.

I don't expect Stevens to be coach, any more than I think I'll land a date with Jessica Alba.

I can see why some things may be different this time with Stevens. The Celtics are for sale, his contract is expiring, one child is at Notre Dame instead of at home.
