Dolson made a bold move financially with Archie. I’m convinced it’s to make a bold hire ... not Altman nor Enfield nor Oats nor Pope. I’d be pretty shocked if it weren’t beard or musselman so tbd. Beard and Pat Knight are best buds - so I’m sure Pats pulling every string to help get him here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we really offered 7-8 for Stevens, and we're not moving on to the Beard, Drew, Musselman group, it does make you wonder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierdave Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Can we just hire Beilein already and put this emotional rollercoaster to bed 😂? With all the money we don’t have to spend on Stevens we could hold onto for that future home run hire once Coach B gets this program back on track and IU becomes an attractive destination. Maybe it’s just me, but give me Coach B over any of our other candidates in March. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows. We need someone to start stalking Dolson and hacking his computer since there won’t be any flight tracking going on with everyone in Indy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like Drew has some skeletons around here and Glass didn’t sniff him 4 years ago. But yes - makes you wonder for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you start recruiting, kids won’t even know who their coach will be when they graduate. phenomenal coach no doubt. It’s possible he’s like plan F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhinithreeMagic Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Beilein shouldn't even be on the list. He's a non-starter along with Alford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU247 Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 I’m going to laugh if we end up getting some other NBA coach like Nick Nurse or Steve Kerr I mean we have enough billionaire owners who would give money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGleas Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Obviously just my opinion, but to me hiring Alford is the IU administration saying they couldn't get anyone else to say yes. Because there is no way you go to him before you go to Beard, Musselman, Drew, Oats, etc. I can't think of a more uninspiring hire. At least with Fife you can play the "up and comer" card to drum up excitement. But Alford would just be a massive thud of a hire to me. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So maybe I am not so far fetched about my theory about this IU job. I have ripped for years saying we won't attract elite coaches even if we pay huge money. I still think a little bit of that is the fan base but not the main reason coaches don't want to come here. If we end up going from thinking Stevens was a possibility to getting another mid major something is wrong. It appeared the administration gave Dolson the OK to big and he did so the excuse of the administration standing in the way is mute. We have went through 5 coaches and AD's in the last 21 years so maybe the fan base needs to look in the mirror if we can't get a top coach. You saw how crazy we were this past week looking at every tweet or post reading into it what we wanted to see. To an outsider it probably does look like this fan base is a little crazy.

You are literally waving the white flag and saying “we really are a has been, so let’s embrace it with a candidate that drives the nail in the coffin for good” I’m sorry but any of you who think Alford is potential slam dunk hire are clueless, sloppy drunk, or worse. Fife wouldn’t get a sniff from any major program AT. ALL. His resume for a Big D1 school is literally “incomplete.” And I’d do back flips for Fife over Alford. If we hire Alford you might as well come to my house and kick my dog while you’re at it. And take a dump on my front porch. And slash my tires. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macomb hoosier Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Second hand info from a relative of mine in contact with someone in UM athletics: Beilein's move at present appears to be Depaul where he can do the Ray/Joey Meyer thing.

It appears this time the excuse of the administration standing in the way is not valid.
