I honestly do not view us as a blue blood. I wish we were, but our blue blood status died about 20 years ago.Blue Blood programs don’t settle for barely recognizable Mid Major coaches. If IU isn’t considering Beard or Wade , it just shows they are not serious about becoming a powerhouse again. Wade proved his abilities at LSU and Beard would kill it at IU. If no elite coaches want to come , well I guess the program is dead. However , I’m sure a certain amount of $$$ would bring them. Offer Pitino or Wright $12 million a year for 5 years. Tired of the scared IU mentality and approach. College hoops is a business now and they need to act accordingly.
How long has the giant have to sleep before someone checks a pulse and pronounces him dead.Your idiocy has no bounds.
You realize you didn’t even like the Cignetti hire right? And I … have no doubt you’re serious because you have zero vision. Zero critical thinking. IU basketball is a sleeping giant.
IU football could go 8-4 for a million years and we’d be fine with that. IU basketball still wants national championships.
Do you understand the difference?
Wade was a cheat.Blue Blood programs don’t settle for barely recognizable Mid Major coaches.

If no elite coaches want to come , well I guess the program is dead. However , I’m sure a certain amount of $$$ would bring them. Offer Pitino or Wright $12 million a year for 5 years.

If iU is a blue blood with five championships in basketball....then Army is a blue blood in football with five championships. No difference at all. They are equal.I honestly do not view us as a blue blood. I wish we were, but our blue blood status died about 20 years ago.
Death, taxes and this embittered bridge troll showing up at vulnerable moments to throw feces.How long has the giant have to sleep before someone checks a pulse and pronounces him dead.
I mean — the hope strategy is cute but to virtually anyone——what do you expect?
And let’s see if by being unable to bring in 30+ twenty six year olds doesn’t hurt the football side this year. Remains to be seen what drop off might be there as well. Seems reasonable.
Just hire someone to build it back— won’t stop saying it. “Buying” it back is a path to the past not the future.
Get someone in here that places expectations and accountability right in their grill. Want your bag but not the rest — move along.
If they don’t want it — as other adjacent programs have recently said —. GFY.
Big boy pants.
Buy some.
You don't think a guy like that will break whatever rules that are left to break?So - no rules anymore. He just got caught.
And the FBI nailed him for it.
Maybe literally.
We have blue blood NIL and blue blood resources but we do have have the guts to hire a blue blood coach. We settle on a mid major because we will not touch anyone with any skeletons at all.I honestly do not view us as a blue blood. I wish we were, but our blue blood status died about 20 years ago.
I'm with you. I don't understand the "it's legal now" nonsense. That's irrelevant; it was illegal back then. Besides, for a job such as this, the FBI wiretap thing is about character, not legality.You don't think a guy like that will break whatever rules that are left to break?
Does Houston have a bad reputation? Or St John’s? Not at all. In fact it’s the opposite. Those schools are celebrated.I'm with you. I don't understand the "it's legal now" nonsense.

I don't care if Wade is a winner ... he's a scumbag. I thought the same when KS was hired (and still do, tbh). Winning is important, but so is a basketball program's reputation. And that's not a "holier-than-thou" stance like some of the knuckleheads believe. Rather, it's about having standards.
I also don’t hear a lot commentators during games bringing up shit about Sampson’s or Pitino’s past. This is all about people’s warm and fuzzy feelings. I suppose all the parents of the kids who play for Houston or St John’s are horrible parents?Does Houston have a bad reputation? Or St John’s? Not at all. In fact it’s the opposite. Those schools are celebrated.
Former player from National Championship powerhouse. Some would argue best college team everWho is the young guy that the Hoosiers got from Army?
Except he didn't hit her a single time.I did have one concern,,,,choking at the end of games. Lol lol lol
He has proven he can really kick the sh7t outta someone.
I'm still a fan, Randi Trew lesson learned.
Why would I care what the media and broader country thinks?Seriously, the media and broader country don’t care if a school “does it the right way.” This country celebrates winning, period.
Nah, he’s right..Why would I care what the media and broader country thinks?
I didn’t say IU wasn’t going to be good. What am saying is I don’t see IU becoming a “football school”Why do you say Iu isn’t going to be good in football?
It would take a prolonged period of winning at a high level to overcome the past many decades of our football tradition as the worst football program in D1 history.I didn’t say IU wasn’t going to be good. What am saying is I don’t see IU becoming a “football school”
Iu can become elite in basketball with its resources and right coach. I don’t see that happening in football
ExactlyIt would take a prolonged period of winning at a high level to overcome the past many decades of our football tradition as the worst football program in D1 history.
And, conversely, if we became good again in Basketball it would be a "return to greatness" which would happen pretty quickly compared to becoming something we have never been in Football. Agree.Exactly
I don’t agree, Devries will be the best coach we have hired since Sampson.Darian DeVries will not make IU elite again. This hire is the stake through the heart of the program. Dolson killed Indiana men’s basketball.
Crean went to a Final Four and Archie went to an Elite Eight before being hired by IU. What the hell was DeVries done?I don’t agree, Devries will be the best coach we have hired since Sampson.
So says Mr reversible jacket.I didn’t say IU wasn’t going to be good. What am saying is I don’t see IU becoming a “football school”
Iu can become elite in basketball with its resources and right coach. I don’t see that happening in football
Do you actually watch basketball or just b**ch? Serious question.Crean went to a Final Four and Archie went to an Elite Eight before being hired by IU. What the hell was DeVries done?
What is your point? You want to discuss the topic at hand or not?And true.
