Dane Fife is who I would want over all the names being mentioned except Stevens. Butz that is me. If he doesn't work out, Lewis or the NBA IU guys. My opinion. Yeah it’s interesting, many IU fans not wanting an IU guy. If it can’t be Stevens, beard, Drew or beilen, I would be okay with fife. I think he gets it’s it. When he gets his shot, he will make it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If guys like Drew, Musselman, Beard, Mack, etc all said no after we offered them a top 5 salary then you might have a good point. But they won't.

You don’t think the fact that Kansas was being placed on probation had anything to do with the fact they had to hire an assistant coach instead of a head coach...doesn’t hurt Williams had a track record of elite recruiting and working with elite talent...especially some kid with the initials MJ. It was a special case. I’d love to know why people think Fife is the next HOF coach. Heck most insiders think Stephens is the better basketball mind and glue guy then Fife. So why hire Fife?

What has Fife done in the last 10 years to prove he is ready to be the head coach at IU? What in the actual f*** does “he gets it” mean? He played for Mike Davis. So, we think Mike Davis basketball is some wine that got better with age? ok.....I’m out. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, we think Mike Davis basketball is some wine that got better with age? ok.....I’m out. lol Well, everyone thought Tom Crean and Archie Miller had quite the resume to be IUs coach. How'd that work out? Indiana is different. When he says Fife "gets it", he understands what made IU great. He understood the expectations put on players and the commitment it took to be great. The same is required to be the coach. If you think coaching at IU is the same as Marquette, Dayton Texas Tech, etc. you are crazy. I'm not in the "Has to be an IU guy" camp, but I totally understand where they are coming from. This job is unlike 99% of them. That's why we haven't kept a coach for 20 years. If Archie gets fired and we can't land a too guy, I'd take Fife over any of the flash in the pans that keep getting pumped up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learned from from Izzo for many yrs. and I said if the others didn’t work out. Just what do you propose, obviously you have all the answers.

It also means he knows what it takes to get on the fans good side and do all the alumni stuff needed to coach at IU.

dgambill Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 I’m done with the Fife talk. I’m out. Sorry I prefer to hire the best coach on the bench. Fife is 3rd on his own team. Whatever...I just can’t. I know we are desperate but this IU guy thing is just so overblown. And to use Roy Williams as the reasoning ...he is also the reason you don’t have to hire a former alum...and yet then became the reason you do. Guy is just a great HOF coach....quit trying to compare guys. If fife was the guy whatever but nothing says he merits the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way I’d want either is if we got them on a four year deal with a low buyout and a low salary with lots of performance incentives. I think Alford has the lower floor and lower ceiling. Fife is probably binary. Could be good or really bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
