That’s what a winning program would do. We’re not a winning program.Dakich was saying today on his radio station that if he was Glass, he would be calling Beilein immediately. That these things happen before a coach is fired all the time, gave examples. Said if it’s not a former IU player Beilein or Stevens are the 2 he would get behind. Also stated fundamentals are lacking badly and if you can’t guard a screen other than hedging then you can’t coach.
This makes great sense but fred is fred. He has washed his hands of his bad hire
Nope we ae not and somebody else will snatch him up quickly.That’s what a winning program would do. We’re not a winning program.
Make sure there is a no hire yourself in the contract.He would hire himself as the coach.
I'd like to see Chris Reynolds get a shot.Dakich for AD
That’s funny. Good luck with that one.Bomani Jones on High Noon just said Beilein is IU coach next year...Archie Miller is out...
The difference is they have been at their schools for years and not starting new.Izzo is 65
Roy Williams is 69
Calipari is 61

Dumb!listing a bunch of coaches close to retiring means what???
I heard from a really good source that a lady that looks like Beilein’s wife was in Bloomington eating a Strom at Nicks with a local realtor. Bouncer friend saw a mature woman getting crunk at Yogis later that night. To top it off, my brother saw a Mercedes with MICHIGAN plates driving down Kirkwood!
You do realize that story is from 2 years ago, right? Is your point that Thad Matta would return to coaching for the right opportunity (a quote from that 2018 piece)?
Im pretty sure we will be having these same discussions a year from now as archie remains and the program slips further down the tubes. IU just doesnt know when to pull the trigger. Always will be too late.
I'd much rather have Thad-like you said assuming he is mentally and physically recharged-than 67 year old Beilein.You do realize that story is from 2 years ago, right? Is your point that Thad Matta would return to coaching for the right opportunity (a quote from that 2018 piece)?
I'd be good with Thad, as long as he's all in physically and mentally. But, honestly, it's pointless to have conversations about who we'd prefer as new coach. Archie will get another year. He shouldn't, if he fails to make the tournament again. But he will, even if we're left out again.
Those coaches are established at their schools. If it took 2-3 years to establish himself at IU he would be in his early 70's. I would think IU would go after someone like Beard before Beilein. Beilein is a great coach and mentor but IU needs longevity not a short term fix.Izzo is 65

Maybe he's a "young" 67. Trump's 73; Biden's 77; Sanders' 78; Bloomberg's 78. These guys are vying for a 4-8 year gig that has to be a hell of a lot more physically/mentally taxing than coaching basketball. If coaching is something he still wants, he could put in a decade, retire, and leave us on better footing for the next guy.Those coaches are established at their schools.

How do you crunk? I have been looking for something new to do during IU games as they are unwatchable, even while drinking beer.I heard from a really good source that a lady that looks like Beilein’s wife was in Bloomington eating a Strom at Nicks with a local realtor.

Its slmost as if our admins go out of their way to screw up everything with mens bbal. And now they will hold onto a coach out of his league and let beilein slip awayNot only that, IU has pulled the wrong trigger at times, too. I hate to sound like a broken record -- but....Mike Davis? Really?
But, yeah, waited too long with Crean and seem likely to make the same mistake again. We just don't have the right mentality from those running the ship. Either there aren't many expectations placed on the coaches, or else there isn't much in the way of consequences for failing to meet them. And, not surprisingly, that same culture seems to permeate down to the team as well.
