5fouls Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 I honestly think this was a case where people believed that the offer was going to be such that there was no way he would turn us down. $8 million a year and years of job security when you make half that now and are on a warm, if not hot, seat. 98% of the time you get your man. Unfortunately, Brad Stevens falls into the other 2%. In summary, the IU people close to the situation saw no way he would turn us down, and that's how the 'done deal' stuff gout out. At least it appears a legit effort was made. I honestly don't think we get Beard. Drew, I think we could, but not sure that would be my first option. Honestly, Musselman might be the one that gives you the best return on investment. He would be cheaper than the other two and likely can win just as much. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FW_Hoosier Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 We need to hang two banners in Assembly Hall: BILLY DONOVAN INDIANA COACH MARCH — APRIL 2017 BRAD STEVENS INDIANA COACH MARCH 2021 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddy River Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 I think I figured it out. Somewhere in the vetting process Brad let it slip (like he did in his presser) that he is a Patriots fan. No one wants that crap in Indiana, and Dolson rightfully rescinded the offer. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the done deal stuff came from the “belief” Mrs Stevens wanted to be back in Indiana. That doesn’t appear to be the case. The money rumored to be offered is similar to his new rumored raise.

Dolson and the donor were ready to spend that money just to get rid of the worst coach in IU history. Kelvin Sampson was the worst coach in IU history, hands down.

Zuckerkorn Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 Bad news: We didn't get our unanimous #1 choice. Good news: It sound like Dolson threw the kitchen sink at him and didn't just lock in on a mid-major and forego the grand slam possibilities. Also I can hate Boston and their basketball team even more than I did before. Finally, we got rid of the worst achieving basketball coach at IU in my lifetime. With the apparent effort put into trying to get Stevens, I'm hopeful there are backup plans that are going to net us a good coach. P.S.: Some were jokingly referring to Stevens as CBFS - is he now referred to as CBMFS? 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess it depends on how you define “best” and “worst”. If you mean running the program into the ground by recruiting low character kids, then allowing them to act with no restrictions or consequences, then yep, he’s the worst. IU had not had a tarnish on their reputation since before RMK. Sampson changed that. Hilarious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there's that much difference between Mack and Stevens. Honestly I don't. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
