Bali Hoosier Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 I say we go after Mark Few. I know he's turned down offers before, but maybe his situation has changed. Also the increase of money to be offered could change his mind. Wouldn't hurt to ask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of asking why they aren't coming I think the better question is why would they come to IU and leaver where they are at. Why Would guys who has won big like Wright, Bennett, Few or Beard leave their current job for IU. They get paid quit well where they are at and will get raises f someone comes looking to hire them. they have won big at their current jobs and the have great job security. they have built their program and culture to where they like it. Why leave that and try to build another program culture at a place that you will not have job security if you get off to a slow start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UT probably is and we have to remember these guys who are not from Indiana did not grow up loving IU like we have. We think any coach out there would just pickup and leave because we are Indiana but these guys don't think that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jefftheref Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 We all might think our program is something special but it is quite obvious those in the coaching profession do not. Looks like we will get someone that will have to grow into the position which probably means several more years of excuses and mediocrity. Hope I am wrong! I would love to eat crow on this one.

IUFLA Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 3 hours ago, KoB2011 said: What exactly is comparable about those two seasons? I've already laid it out... Indiana won more games (20-18) against better competition (SOS IU 16 TT 67)...that alone makes the two seasons comparable. All the metrics in the world can't overcome that fact. You cite Covid as the reason Tech didn't have more wins, but you conveniently leave out that IU would have played at least one more game in the B1G, and by most accounts would have played in the tournament. No one knows how Indiana's season would have turned out. By the way, it would be "threw a fit" not "through a fit." Maybe you and @NCHoosier32 could get a word usage group together...

We are too picky. He has to win. He has to have a spotless past. He has to be young. He has to 'get it' He has to recruit the 'right kids' No wonder we never get anybody who, you know wins.

Dude, banging floozies on restaurant tables, hiring prostitutes for recruits, and having vacated Final Fours, is a looooooong way from a "spotless past" I'm not sure spotless past is a requirement (see Kelvin Sampson) but being a decent and honorable human being should be.

Well there you go. Our program is so amazingly awesome that we are telling HOF coaches to kick rocks. I'm sure he's the first to cheat on his wife. The strippers don't happen here because we actually have compliance and an AD that cares. Doesn't it feel good to be sitting home for the 5th year in a row, in our own gym no less, and pounding your chest at how pious we are while the nation laughs at us?
