I do not disagree. And I do not know that Indiana will not look at Beard, but I find it highly unlikely, and that is a shame all the way around. Assembly Hall would probably be a magical atmosphere, again. People are just going to have to chill because this is going to be a 6-week process.
I just want IU to hated by Purdue again and loved by everybody else. Love is the only way.😇
Not really.
I could get behind Pearl. We don’t need him for 15 years. He can come in immediately and win. There is no question about his coaching ability.
I thought he was the one that wanted his son to take his spot when he retires.
I'd take Ben McCollum over Scott Drew. Drew is like Crean with his recruiting. Every year they lose a ton of guys and have to redo it again. IU tried that garbage already. Doesn't work in Bloomington.
Pearl in in his sunset years of coaching. No thank you.
They decided exactly as the 'Main Idiot' Miles Brand wanted done. Who in hell was going to argue with him? The administration was full of weaklings and after all he just ejected the toughest coach in America. What a bag of barf!
Absolute NO to anyone who wants to name his successor.
I do not think Beard prefers Ole Miss over the IU job.
the IU prez will not consider Beard
Pearl vs May, I choose May, but Pearl is capable of righting the ship, and possibly winning bigger than he has, at IU.
IU is too holy for beard. That is too bad because he would kill it here.
We missed our chance last year. Thanks Quinn.
Disagree. I think we get our second choice and it will be a name we’ve all heard of. At least I hope.
Welcome to the new college basketball. NLI has changed it. Players will leave seeking more money or playing time and coaches will run some off that aren't fitting into the system. Most top teams will be built thru the portal.
He’s pissed at getting left at the altar last year. IU big donors who threw him to the side of the road for the worst coach in IU history will get their noses rubbed in it for years from Dusty.
Here we go again… these guys must be sleeping with the Prez for this inside info
No. Purdue is doing fine at the top of the league doing exactly the opposite.
McCollum and Archie’s personalities aren’t even close. Archie couldn’t handle it because he’s just a dweeb
Archie was a tough minded player but didn’t know how to pass that on to the players. McCollum is a tough minded coach and his players suck it up.
This is a forum where you can express your thoughts. Just like on another post you made, quit saying “you heard”. Just state what you think. Others will like your post or hammer it. Just normal human reaction from others. Just let it slide if it hurts a little to you.
I love how you rocket scientists think all this superficial shit is somehow a game changer. Yeah, I’m sure if we just put names on the jerseys and got rid of the candy stripes guys like Donavan and Pearl would be on their knees begging for the job…
no, you're wrong. It was just my personal opinion. I am not an insider and have never claimed to be. Lighten up. Relax ... go watch tv or something.
At least with McCollum you have a young star with a definite identity and plan. I'm not sure if it would work but I am sure the fan base would be energized to see an actual style of play and basketball philosophy brought back to Assembly Hall.
I’m not triggered by anything YOU bring here, because the way you put it, it’s only what you supposedly have heard. If it’s legit inside information, great. Let the board know. If not, most will accept YOUR opinion whether they like it or not. Now slide on.
Purdue's reliance on the portal will continue to grow and they will need to significantly increase their NIL resources to keep up. They won't be able to continue with a potential AA and cornerstone of the team making the same money as Gabe Cupps.
