He doesn't have those same shoes to fill at IU. He also had a really good team last year that would have been capable making some noise had the tournament occurred. That likely would’ve done much to quiet the fans down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
13th&Jackson Posted March 7, 2021 Report Share Posted March 7, 2021 7 minutes ago, BGleas said: The crusher would be IU hiring Mack from Louisville, seemingly making their fans happy, and then watching Louisville go get someone like Beard to replace him. Mack's record compares favorably to Beard, he just doesn't have the final four appearance. If it wasn't for Beard's ties to Knight, I'd give the resume edge to Mack. He certainly has a longer track record and he's been consistently successful. Plus the Midwest ties are an edge. I'm hoping the rumors are true that he's interested.

If I'm Beard I'm asking myself why did a guy who's wife is from Louisville just take a lateral move to get away? What does he know about that program that I don't?

Now, whether or not he would leave Texas to go to either school is a valid question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just went and looked closer at Mack's career, it's pretty good. Several second weekend tournament trips. Would like to see a little more consistency in his conference finishes, they seem a little Crean'ish with ups and downs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmax Posted March 7, 2021 Report Share Posted March 7, 2021 I wonder if we’re not all underestimating the boosters/BoT desire to get an “IU guy” as the coach. If you remember, it was a major talking point last go around and there was a lot of criticism that Glass didn’t look harder(or at all) at anyone with IU ties. Personally I couldn’t care less about someone having a tie to our program, but my opinion doesn’t matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be discussions of “ok, we’ve got the money, let’s talk about who we’re going to go after and what it will cost.” Sorry, maybe I missed it in the 180+ pages of this thread. Where is that info coming from?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobSaccamanno Posted March 7, 2021 Report Share Posted March 7, 2021 Don’t know where to put this but I just saw that we’ve got Texas Tech vs Baylor on ESPN at 4:00 EST/3:00 CST.

I believe an insider on a different board mentioned he knew there was supposed to be a meeting today, and he said that before today (can’t remember if it was yesterday or before)...and if he said today that he knew since Friday that the money has been raised, then I would guess those discussions are going to be made if there is indeed a meeting.

If not an IU guy, at least someone with consistent, proven success, whoever that may be.

There is no reality where the buyout is contingent on it being an IU guy and an undeniable upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first was the Iowa-IU game you are obviously referring to. The other was the Dayton-Wichita State game in the NCAA Tournament in 2017, Archie vs. Gregg Marshall. Both times we went with the losing coach instead, ha ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
