You can do one and not be involved in the latter. Expressing concerns is one thing but you know there are other places where the fans have already been calling for his head.

But, they were not considered a blue blood at the time. Not even close to being one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that doesn't mean every fan who expresses concerns is calling for his head, so please stop treating every fan who isn't all sunshine and unicorns right now like they are jumping off the bandwagon and wanting him fired. I have concerns now. I fully expect they will be alleviated this year, but until they are I'm not going to pretend like they aren't there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can feel how ever you want and express it just like I can do the same thing. I just don't get why everyone is already worrying about what is going to happen in 6 months or 18 months when nothing has happened yet. Especially in the off season I don't get the need to always be pessimistic like some on here are when we have no clue how this will play out.

Also I never said people who express their jumped off the bandwagon just the ones that were calling for his head in year 1 or 2. Where have I said you could not express yourself but to think I can' respond to those thoughts are not right. So am I getting this right that you can have an opinion and we can't judge it but I can't express my opinion. That seems like a little double standard to me.

Being picked to finish 11th in year 3 is pretty embarrassing. Picked 11th and finish 11th? Embarrassing. Picked 1st and finish 11th? More embarrassing. Basing any type of judgements on preseason predictions? Shakespearean....full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highly unlikely we have back to back terrible years with the talent currently on the team and incoming next year. I just don't see how we can be that bad. Average maybe, but talent will usually level the field if the coaching is lacking. I am not saying CAM can't coach though. our talent is no better than most of the teams in the big ten so that is not a factor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone with any sense knew what he inherited, and in fact, his record improved each of the first three years, from 6 wins to 10 to 12. With this improvement and with the level of recruits he was bringing in, there was a great deal of optimism heading into year 4. The resultant Sweet 16 hard fought loss to Kentucky only solidified the consensus feeling that Crean was the guy to restore IU as an elite program. The criticism and hot seat began following the next season and the dreadful coaching job he put in versus Syracuse. That became the watershed moment for the criticism and dissent within Hoosier Nation that led to his eventual firing. Nice try anyway with your revisionist history and trying to mold it to prove your misguided agenda. crean may not have been on the hot seat but i distinctly recall halfway through his second season telling anyone who would listen the he would never get it done. no one believed me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
