I have no doubt he would be a tremendous upgrade, but at a cost. I do agree that it is poor choice because of his age. I feel he would be a quick, "band aid" hire, like you said,... He'd be near his mid 70s before he finally got his system in place. Beilein could get the program back on track. We would then be in a much better position to make our next hire.

That mindset needs to end. For 3 years, we kept saying it takes time to install and learn the pack line and Archie just needs to get "his" guys. We need to move past that mindset. Other coaches win right away and we need someone who will do the same. Also - this is a free agency off-season. Any new coach could accelerate the rebuild by August. Archie could make the argument that he could revamp the roster too, but it may be too far gone. which, if Dolson is leaning towards a change, this off-season makes it much more advantageous for that reason alone.

I see it both ways. Look how well Denver did with Payton for a few years and look at them now. Look at Tampa Bay with Brady, but for how long? I would love the "fix right now", but when it goes away, it's tough to get it back. JMHO.... It's a tough one to decide. I pray Dolson does make the right call. I hope whatever he does, that he doesn't forget where he came from and reaches out to all his IU alum connections for helpful advise and insight.

If it can't be 'love at first sight', one party must win the other party's heart. IU must drop its ego and show Stevens love, support, and most importantly desperation. I want to 'like' your post, but me positively reacting on anything related to marriage probably hurts the point you are making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A successful Beilein for 8 years or so will feel like 25 in Recent Hoosier years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd be near his mid 70s before he finally got his system in place. Actually, the worst case scenario would be to hire someone who is still in their mid 30's that can't get his system in place until he's near his mid 70s.

If you can have a great 4 or 5 year run to me it is worth it. I doubt those two fan bases you mentioned probably wouldn't give up those championships for more stability. Just like I couldn't believe people said that going to the championship game in 2002 was a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted March 8, 2021 Report Share Posted March 8, 2021 If Musselman would get the job, since Seniors get that extra year, maybe he could bring Justin Smith with him to help out in the front court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that Belien is a good coach, but what concerns me is that hi successful teams at UM look nothing like our current roster. And would he need a 'Luke Yaklich type' to get this thing off the ground quickly? If so, is that guy out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotIThatLives Posted March 8, 2021 Report Share Posted March 8, 2021 I assume most of us on this board watch a ton of basketball and understand what's going on. 1. Beilein has looked so old on TV, I would consider him a non starter unless you bring Dane or Mike Lewis in with him. We all have our opinions, my opinion is he looks old as balls and would struggle to recruit. 2. Seniors that have played 4 years cannot play another year wherever they want. They can only play another year at their existing school. Therefore Justin Smith, if he plays one more year, can only play for Arkansas. I know some of y'all are joking but a few of you are serious. That's where I get on trouble assuming everyone on this board understands what's happening this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would literally pause all basketball program activities for up to a year and a half if we knew Stevens was coming. I can't believe this has been said twice, today.

It doesn’t need to be an IU guy at all. I’d even be fine if he brought in Toengel (sp) sorry I don’t know his name.... to prepare him to come to big ten since he coaches at a smaller school now.
