NCHoosier32 Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 Well, if Stevens is out, I know we're all crushed. That said, I can get behind Beard. I don't think Drew is an option. Musselman and Smart combo would be nice. I'm even okay with Beilein. Please don't give us an "IU guy" that can't coach just because he is an IU guy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are my four too. Honestly I’d be really happy with anyone on that list. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for not letting me down. I clicked out of the HIRE STEVENS thread hoping someone had done this. And yes, I would be fine with Beard. I liked Stevens, but have never been in the OMFG! PLEASE! camp. However, this time as it seemed like it was getting close, I saw how much everyone wanted it and thought, yeah this would bring lots of good to IU basketball. But on to the next one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCHoosier32 Posted March 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 I think if TJD comes back, Stewart sticks with us and is solid, Lander makes a lot of progress, and we hire one of those guys we can be on the road in the right direction. Thompson and Franklin are solid. Hopefully Brunk comes back and gives us inside depth. Look at me! I'm being all optimistic! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoB2011 Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 I think I prefer Musselman but yeah, Beard is great too. Just don't hire an IU guy, there's still a handful of really good options, get one of them. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a bonus if he brought Smart, but whatever. The "IU guy" thing makes no sense to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mussleman and Beard are probably my top two, sounds like they're yours too, just we have reverse order. Either way, both those guys can win quick and have proven they aren't afraid to get transfers to make it happen. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrflynn03 Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 Beard and Musselman go head to head in the round of 32. So we will get a side by side comparison at least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCHoosier32 Posted March 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 So do we agree Beard and Musselman are #1 and #2? What is everyone's thought on whether either will take it? Can't imagine why Musselman wouldn't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steubenhoosier Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Personally, I am not crushed. Stevens used the situation to get a pay raise. Don’t want to ever entertain him as a candidate again. Dolson promised a coaching upgrade. Hope whoever ponied up the buyout is gonna get their moneys worth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
