Dustin Dopirak on potential IUBB coaching candidate pool shrinking

[Big Red Crimson Buffalo]

Your so crazy McCollum is not in this list. Guy has one year of experience in Divsion 1.

I’ve seen enough shitty D1 coaches to know that just because they coach at that level, doesn’t mean they deserve to do so.
Coaching at a D1 program isn’t some certified seal of approval.

Yes that's true but would u hire a kid right out of college to be the CEO of your company.

Awful example.

Better one is a guy that has a decade long resume of driving incredible growth, profit, market share improvements at smaller companies…then stepped up to an already successful multi billion dollar company, and immediately had them more profitable than they’d ever been in their history.

Then, at that point, a historically strong Fortune 500 company, who’s been struggling for the better part of 2 decades, comes calling looking for new direction.

That’s fairly common. IU isn’t Apple. And McCollum isn’t some intern right out of college.

If you think that the a couple of idiots that root for IU and make death threats is an indictment of the entire fanbase, then you’ve been living under a rock. This goes on in sports all the time at numerous colleges. It’s more prevalent now due to the nature of social media but this has been going on for decades. A good portion of it is tied to betting where people lose money on the outcomes of player’s performances. Don’t make out IU problems with success to be a result of fans.

Then what is the reason big time coaches avoid IU?

 

[LifeLong_IU77]

Very few coaches are going to say anything bad about another coach in a press conference. Of course he's not going to say "Woodson really didn't come close to the goals IU had to return the program to relevance" he's going to say some shit about unreasonable fans so that he can can maintain good relations within the coaching fraternity.

🤣

Hey @Cavanagh you are professional gambler, correct? What should we make of the fact that Vegas has locked the betting odds on Stevens? The odds were skyrocketing and then got locked. The BtB crazies are convinced we got him.

I saw this. Caused a shitstorm of delusion on BTB.

Why in the last cycle did "big time" coaches avoid UK, UNC and Duke?
All three were previous players and didn't two of them have no head coaching experience?

Most big time coaches are pretty happy with where they are. Once you get a train rolling you don't jump off.

If we keep eliminating any more Coaches from the search, we're going to have to get Teri Moren to coach the Men's team as well. VBG

20 years...not 1 cycle.

If IU is a desirable job, coaches wouldn't avoid it. Yet, nobody can explain why they do?....
