Going to make recruiting even more difficult which wasn’t his strong suit to begin with. Combine that with the states history with the KKK and well not a good look for IU.

Danomatic Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 I’m falling all over again... mutual friend with Dakich swears it’s Stevens. He said it’s been a done deal. I’m just ready for it to happen already. No way on earth this drags out to June or later... this is absurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IowaHoosierFan Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 Ugh, the Texas opening is going to screw alot of things up. At the moment, we were the premier opening for a coach, and we have big pockets. But Texas is probably a more desirable landing spot than IU at the moment and they also have very deep pockets also. Are there any other premier schools that have a coach who might be fired very soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody cares about Texas basketball they are just concerned with the following season of Longhorn football. Basketball will always be second fiddle there.

Beard is a Texas guy (and alum), was never coming to IU and will most likely be the next coach at Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oregon plays a pretty efficient game offensively and guy has been as successful as any of the other coaches in our search.

Are there any other premier schools that have a coach who might be fired very soon? Perhaps...but, money being equal, Texas and Indiana are both completely different flavors, in so many ways. I'm a Cincinnati Bengals fan and for years there has always been a contingency of our fans who decry the small market quality and draw of a place like Cincy. "Why would a free agent choose Cincinnati over New York, Los Angeles, or Miami?" I always pushed back saying I've lived in New York City, greater Miami, and Dayton...now Orlando. My favorite place will always be southwest Ohio. And, I love New York and have come to really enjoy the part of Orlando we're in. But, there's not one right, desirable place that's better than others for all people. Especially if it's Stevens. 😜 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Indiana's klan history was a problem, UK would never get any players. I get the NBA thug comment being a problem, but no...I don't see old klan activity as a deterrent. If it was, no team south of the Mason-Dixon line would be able to recruit players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was gonna say the same thing, when you're talking Lebron-type money, *state* income tax doesn't have to be a significant concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
