mrflynn03 Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 If TTU wins on Sunday, Chris Beard will have E8, Runner up, and S16 in 5 season's. Hire Chris Beard. Or Musselman if he wins. Flip a coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerawkid Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 At this point I am nearly all in on Beard. Dude can coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are alot better off than last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And whoever wins tomorrow is very likely going to be in at least the E8, as they get the winner of Florida and Oral Roberts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGleas Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 I think Beard would be a fantastic hire. I'd be really excited if he ends up being the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoB2011 Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 I'm worried if Texas loses they could move on from Shaka and steal Beard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just had that same thought watching the game. If IU was to get Beard, I wonder how he would be received by the "has to be an IU guy"/Alford crowd? Not as much the fans, but more guys like Dakich and the old players crowd. Obviously Archie didn't work out, but Dakich basically trashed him from the moment he arrived. Would the Bob/Pat Knight connection gain Beard cover from that crowd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would like to think that means something. Also, if be is looking at a three tournament run of E8, Runner Up, E8 that is a lot harder to trash, right?

You would think, but I could hear Dakich already saying, "this is Indiana, we don't need some Texan coming up here that doesn't 'get Indiana'. We need an IU guy." But, the Knight connection you'd think would maybe cover it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippopotamo Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 I think Beard would get coverage from being a Knight disciple. But I am slightly nervous that Shaka would get fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the only name I can think of that has been mentioned is Chris Mack. Not sure that's lateral, but there was that rumor he'd be interested. So help me if it's Alford...

Hippopotamo Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 Mike Woodson would be so uninspiring. I’d rather take a chance on another up and comer if it’s either that or Woodson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 If it is any of the IU guys I will back him and hope they bring back that IU culture. I will know that if it is the case and this is who we hire I will stop coming to these boards. I know how this fan base will react and it will not be pretty on how they will rip it.
