Chris,......I was just thinking about this exact thing walking down my HS hallway to the RR. lol

I passed the bookstore I heard some students talking to the bookstore lady, an IU fan, about IU's new direction.

I proceeded and thought, I wanted Stevens badly as well as many others, but when you have to wait, and I mean really wait, for an answer from a potential coach to come and be the next coach at Indiana University, there could be a slight red flag or problem.

Just seeing a few pics of Darian on his way into our storied Assembly Hall, in his "All Business" suit, wearing a telling smile from ear to ear,.....says a lot.

 

 

There was no waiting. Stevens made it clear on 2/14 that he wasn't a candidate for the IU job. He did the same four years ago.

IU just dropped a video of DDV arriving and Tucker is in tow with an IU hoodie on, if anyone had a shred of doubt about who our first portal target would be.

Got a daughter that’s a 2027 recruit I believe.  Bloomington south or north going to get a player it sounds like

Have you started the "Fire Coach DeVries" thread yet? 

I suspect people make fun if some Indiana fans because they are fickle... and they whine and complain about a coach before they are formally introduced...

I think we should start it and post my most outlandish reasons he should be fired. Like his son isn't even wearing a suit and the coach has a crooked IU lapel pin which just shows the disrespect to the university. Has the man even ever been to Nick's? Fireable offense.

That press conference was the moment I knew Archie was in over his head. I doubted the hire and the press conference verified my fear. Indiana St put the nail in the coffin.

I keep seeing the press conference will be live in Big Ten Network. Anyone know if that’s on TV or on streaming?

does he steal the "its Indiana, its Indiana" line? or does he create a new quotable....tune in at 11:30 to find out!

Ha. I'm curious at some point if Darian goes..   I've had a couple of good conversations with Coach Cignetti.  As he says "PURDUE........". well you know the drill.

I agree! Think people will feel a lot better after we get to hear him / see him for the first time. 

Intro press conference at 11:30AM ET on BTN. 

Anyone have a link to the press conference.  I can't get BTN at work.

Why did he meet with us 4 times after that? 

We hit a Home Run with DeVries though

Typical Archie looking like he's about to shat his pants.  Stark contrast from what we've already seen from DeVries
