No way Dolson is gonna be able to pull off a big splash hire. Glass never tried for a splash hire in any sport. Lets see what happens. I hope Glass took his mid major phone book with him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 My problem is that same voice is still telling me Stevens is the next coach at IU. The problem is the other voices are telling him he has no clue what he is talking about and the fighting is driving me crazy LOL! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Drew has spoken how Baylor is all about football. Matta is solid, but runs a similar philosophy to Archie. Beard is making $4.5mm in his beloved state. Doesn’t seem realistic. Fife, Musselman, Oats, Mack, etc ... too risky right now. IU is in a fragile spot and needs a proven guy. How does Fife get grouped with 3 guys that have proven they can win in a Power 5 conference? 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiring from Nevada and two years at Arkansas isn’t like the B1G. Nor is Xavier. Mack inherited a good group and he’s fine at Louisville, but I think there are plenty of better candidates. Not saying these guys suck - just risky. I’d much rather take Drew for example with a lot of proven big 12 experience or Beilein Edited March 12, 2021 by Bustout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question with Mack and Musselman is more about how high the ceiling is than how high the floor is; with Fife, the first question is does the house have four walls. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madtownhoosier Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 So I ventured over to Rupps Rafters because misery loves company. There is a poster over there claiming he is from Texas and all the talk there is Beard to IU. I dont personally believe it, but that is what he is saying. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inequality Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 I would rather take a chance on no name Nathan than Steve 🤮 Alford. Actually I would rather waste a another year with Miller while waiting for a great hire than have anything to do with Alford. The guy is not ever going to be in another Blue Blood conversation and if he didn’t play for IU his name wouldn’t ever be brought up. I envisioned the whole class of ‘87 reunion happening when I was told about Dolson replacing Glass well before it ever happened. smh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It surprised me when I looked it up a couple weeks ago. He might be a arse but he actually has produced a very solid resume. He isn’t a Brad Stevens type hire. If Alford is our worst case scenario then we are sitting in a good spot. Which is how I’m looking at it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feathery Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) Chris Beard. So if I’m reading this right it seems like Beard only has a buyout of $3 million for schools outside of the Big XII and schools inside the conference it’s greatly increased. A $3 mil buyout to get one of the top coaches is the country is a no brainer. edit: drops to just over $2 mil on April 1st.

I kind of worry that our administration will see Alford as the "healer" and bring him in. Big mistake imo. The time for him to be the healer was 20 years ago but Kora Breckenridge fd that up. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierMatty Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 At this point I feel the coach we need is one with power 5 success and a brilliant offensive mind. Assuming we aren't getting Brad Stevens then it has to be Beilein. I would hire him and get Dane Fife to come on board as an associate head coach. Dane can run the defense as he's shown he's a great defensive mind. Dane would be hired on as the coach in waiting for when Beilein retires. With the amount of experience he's built up under coaches likes Izzo and Beilein I think he's be worth giving a shot. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that occurs, then yes I would want him over Alford. I loved his energy and charisma in that last run. If he does it again AD's across the nation will be dissecting his every move to determine if he's the next Brad Stevens. If that's a ridiculous take to you, I'm happy to cue the stick again but that would be a fact. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
