It's in other threads. How hard can it be to cross reference the 10 - 15 threads that are discussing replacements for CAM? 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the phrase back channel feelers. Y'all, it's 2021. Ads aren't using burner phones or dark web. They are texting these dudes or agents directly or having high up connections make the contact to gauge interest or ask if they would be interested in talking. We make it out to be some underground form of communication. Wasn't it Glass that said he kept a list of potential replacement coaches at all times? It would be very easy for guys with this power to get a phone number in this day and age, at the very least to an agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGleas Posted March 8, 2021 Report Share Posted March 8, 2021 The extension happened during the Bubble. Not sure what IndyKev is referring too, unless he just signed a second extension in a matter of a few months? Regardless, Stevens is not a realistic option, never was.

Bustout Posted March 8, 2021 Report Share Posted March 8, 2021 If Mack is the best hire IU can make right now I’m going to Purdue to get an MBA or something. Beilien or Matta would be nine million thousand times better than Mack. I’d even be more excited about Fife than Mack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamaparker1 Posted March 8, 2021 Report Share Posted March 8, 2021 Maybe we should hire Mata as an associate head coach so he can tutor Archie for a few more years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wants to give his back/health a trial run, honestly, why not go this route? I know you may have posted this jokingly, but if he wants to get back into coaching ... call Archie and tell him he’s happy to come on staff.

JABBATHEHOOSIER Posted March 8, 2021 Report Share Posted March 8, 2021 Chris Mack is an upgrade to the current situation here. Is he my preferred candidate? No! But it is definitely an upgrade. Heck, I'd take a medicore Rick Stansbury at this point. At any rate, something has got to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU could’ve had him 4 years ago and I thought Archie had a better resume then and was much younger. It’s another risky hire. I’m sure he’s a fine coach, but this time around, IU NEEDS a proven coach. It’s not as much about disliking him as it is about liking other guys more that would suit IUs situation better today ... Drew and Beard if they’d be interested, matta or Beilein. If you strike out there, assuming Stevens said no 20 times, then maybe you consider him ... but he still personally still doesn’t excite me. Obviously Fife isn’t proven either, but I’d give him a long look if it were between he and Mack. I’d even exhaust Keith Smart and those type of guys first. At this point in time, I think IU can do better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Success at the mid major that seems to have carried over at Lville. Last year they were solidly in the top 15 and while down this year they are NCAA bound. I would prefer others over him but not many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
