That’s what happens when Purdoo fans pop over here once in awhile. Go chat on your own board.
Dustin Dopirak on potential IUBB coaching candidate pool shrinking
- Thread starter Jim Coyle
- Start date
Weird that you chose me to say this to. I didn’t start any of them. But ok.
So you can’t handle discussing things on this board with someone that has boiler in their name? Only person that brought up Purdue is you. Try to keep it in topic here
I get that they’re not high on him. Not sure what you’re getting out of it? You agree with them, I don’t. 🤷♂️
They think IU should get a more proven (D1) coach. Their egos (regarding IU’s place in bball hierarchy) get in the way of freer thinking.
I like the way BM identifies the players he wants, how he maximizes their abilities both individually and then collectively as a team. That should work at any level.
I like how he doesn’t have a set offense. He uses concepts that work and adapts them to the abilities of the team and allows the players to run it (he does draw up plays for oob situations).
I’m still McCullom fan and supporter.🙂
I think they more than doubled the NIL to ensure we had given Woody every chance he needed, but also to ensure we would be hard to turn down if Woody didn't meet expectations. It would be hard to believe Scott didn't have his ducks in a row then. I would say after the Bahamas things went to another level and by the time the fans started chanting "Fire Woodson", it was full speed ahead. He made the statement about how he would be dispersing revenue sharing funds, to make the job even more appealing, and probably had who he wanted in mind since last year at this time. The search firm is to ensure he's done everything the right way and avoid what happened when we ended up with Woody. I think Dolson is doing a masterful job right now. I wouldn't take anyone off the table just yet. There are some that would be bigger surprises if they left their current jobs, but if we're capable of offering Brad 10m a year, no one's off the table.
Doesn’t matter who started it. You were the poor sap that made the last comment about it when I responded. And then you respond to jopajackson to “stay on topic”. We want the “TOPIC” to stop.
Heard what "same stuff"?
Just because Archie failed here does not mean in any way, shape or form that BM would fail.
What do you think is going to happen when you come to an IU fan forum with "Boiler" in your screen name?
By the way, I just threw up in my mouth even typing the B-word!
Not necessarily. If you read what I wrote, it doesn’t say gory details of that night. It says gory details of his relationship.
You’re also treating the issue (“it”) as a black and white, binary one instead of a real life, messy, gray one.

Dig into the history of our program from 1971 to 1973. That's when the work was done to build the fanbase. He was in his early 30s and he worked his a55 off to change a state...back before Puerto Rico, the chair, Connie Chung, etc, etc..sure he could be an a55 and he should've retired after Pat graduated but he didn't. I can't wrap my mind around what being a fan of IU basketball is like if you were born after 1979. It was our thing and it was special and impossible to duplicate.
Beard has done more than enough as a d1 basketball coach in 10 years to get interviewed for the opening at IU. He didn't choke his wife. They're divorced. It's different than roughing up your live-in gf. Same general flavor but different. People see he has 4 daughters and hear he choked his wife and its different. We can speculate in both directions, but it's obvious Randi Trew got roughed up.
I would have a couple of homerun swings to pursue, but I'm not getting to choice 4 or 5 before I'm setting across from Chris Beard and listening to the man.
We all want, make that need, a coach on a zero tolerance policy because it worked out so well the last time 😂
Chris Beard would be the best hire for iu, but the baggage is not great. I’d go McCollum. High risk, high reward, but what does iu have to lose with this hire?
McCollum would not be getting traction without the Cigs hire which is a totally diffrent circumstance. Indiana football could take a chance Indiana basketball will be near dead if they hire a unproven first year d1 coach that fails.
we have discussed the beard situation at length in another thread. Go away
Yeah, but everybody is asking us to hire the proven first year D1 coach. Not an unproven one.
,
I believe it has to be proven Beard, Drew, TJ, Brownell hell I would take Chris Collins over McCollum.
Proven what? A couple of those guys have literally only proven they’re juuust good enough to not get fired. Beard has a 53% P4 conference games winning percentage. TJ has 2 years of P4 experiences. Drew and Beard are the only ones on that list that have proven they can do what we’re gonna expect them to do at IU. And they have also proven they can also be pretty mediocre, at times.
If we’re chasing a ghost…like many of our posters obviously are… Then why not consider the guy that hasn’t proven he isn’t capable of producing consistently great teams like RMK was.
I agree with a lot of what you say, but I don’t know how you consider what beard has done combined with where he’s done it and think he’s not “proven”
His resume speaks for itself.
