While everyone is here clutching their pearls about Will Wade, I'll remind everyone that we venerate a guy who did pic related. And throwing a chair isn't even the worst thing Knight did while he was here.

Heck I remember when Mike Davis let guys wear headbands people went insane. It lasted one game. Now 500k Galloway wears one every game

Brad Brownell has won 3 conference titles at 2 different schools and has taken 3 different schools to the tournament, including an Elite 8 and Sweet Sixteen. Unlike Wade, Brownell's teams have been ranked in the Top 20.

• Cons of Brownell: Quite a bit older.
• Cons of Wade: Show cause and known as one of the most corrupt coaches in NCAA history.

 

Cons of Wade: IU is more likely to rehire RMK at this point than hire someone who is completely sleazy and was caught on an FBI wire tap. LOL 

Can we please stop talking about Will F*cking Wade? Dude is never going to going to be hired by the admin of IU. Stevens is a much more realistic scenario than Wade at this point...

I'm talking about until we get the Fire Brad Brownell Thread started. Should have clarified. I would take the under on that easy. 

But yeah, if we're only interested in winning the press conference and not hiring the best basketball coach you'll likely get your wish. 

We aren't called Revolving Door U for no reason. 

No matter who the next coach is that there will be another fire coach thread after their first loss

Damn. I didn’t realize that Eric Gordon was a drug dealer or a “gangster”. I know that Kelvin Sampson recruited him.

He also recruited Pritchard and Derek elston. Two other drug dealers I guess.

Disagree.

You’d have to actually want the IU job to get hired here.

Still more likely to get hired than Wade. IU would never offer the job to Wade in a million years. At least they would offer the job to Stevens.

Brad Brownell hasn't won a conference title in almost 20 years. Are we seriously doing this? 

Brad Brownell has had one fluke tournament run in 15 years at a school with literally zero basketball expectations who would have been fired 3 or 4 times over by now if he coached anywhere that gave a damn.

The fact that we're talking about Brad Brownell just to spite Will Wade is flat out ludicrous. 

Oh, let's get more recent why don't we? 

• Clemson is currently ranked 25th. McNeese is unranked.
• Last season Clemson finished ranked 14th. McNeese was unranked.

Yay! Willie Strong-@$$ has a really good won/loss record at McNeese State. And you're picking on guys like McMillan, McCollum,  and Schertz that win in low major conferences. 

Yay! Willie Strong-@$$ had a better than expected record at football school LSU but didn't win any conference titles there or even finish a year in the Top 20. Yes, LSU shared a conference title, but that was the year Wade got fired during the season hahahaha..

This one started in February of his 3rd year. 

People probably won't blindly offer uncritical support for anything and everything the next coach does. 

Such is life and this is a message board for sharing opinions.

And you know what they say about opinions... they're like butth0les... everyone's got one.

Completely depends on who it is.  If it is a top dog then this is no doubt false.  If it is an off the wall schmuck then it is no doubt true.

Not true.  Our coaches got time to succeed and the firings were earned and deserved.

The administration gives coaches time but us fans don't

JFC. Will Wade has won a conference championship at P5 school. McNeese is a low major school currently 60th in KenPom. Brad Brownell is the epitome of average.

If you don’t want to hire Will Wade because of his past transgressions, totally fine although I disagree with you.

But somehow trying to paint a picture that Will Wade and Brad Brownell are on the same tier levels of coaching is the funniest thing I’ve read all day.

Is there a "Fire Cignetti" thread on the football board? Just curious.

If you win, the fans will support you. 

If you lose, they'll complain. It's very simple.

If Cignetti starts losing, people will turn on him, especially with his cockniness. People see it as confidence and swagger now. They'll like it a lot less if the football team is 2-9. Such is the life of a coach...

Depends. There were no fire sampson threads in the first year. If it's a super underwhelming hire it's possible

No. He was fired before that season ended.

I’m sure he really enjoyed that “championship” season sitting at home fired with his show cause hearing pending.

We also won’t ever have a coach close to Sampson’s caliber with IU’s holier than thou attitude. 

I thought we were getting Brad Stevens, he is that caliber of coach

Depends on what that coach does prior to his first loss. 

 

If he starts off like he was shot out of a cannon, lands high-level players, kills the press conferences, preaches toughness and accountability and has a fun style to watch, fans will be more lenient. If he's like Archie Miller and gets zero roster additions his first 3 months, looks scared every time he's interviewed, doesn't have any kind of clear plan, and his team can't score...well, you get the idea.

Won the conference in 2019 and was fired in 2022 though?

Ehh disagree. IU falling further into irrelevancy with each passing year only adds to the desperation and increased noise. We want to try and replace the last 30 years overnight. It’s never going to happen. Better win and better win quick or you don’t have a prayer.

It’s a vicious cycle.
