We've had plenty of discussion around here about who we'd like to see hired, who should be considered, etc. Interested to see who people think we'll ultimately end up with.
 
At this point I can care less! Tired of all this speculation already while this season still has a long way to go. I’m just gonna wait til then before I start caring because I don’t think Dolson will be doing anything til then anyways.
 
According to me, with zero sources, this is a two horse race.

McCollum, has Cig written all over him. Nice safe bet. Let’s build and believe.

Beard, instant bad ass. Lightening storm. Headlines with fire. Instant expectations. Win and don’t beat up chicks. We’re good here.

As an AD, who are you putting your faith in?

These 2 are also who I feel Dolson will make the final decision from. I believe either one will bring us back… that is back to where we won quite a bit and also had great defense. Dang it’s been a long time since RMK was fired.
 
I’m saying Other because I think the hire will

For Beard it’s more than Not Beating Up Chicks. Seems like the guy likes the bottle. Any sort of alcohol-related issue would be the end of him.

I think the hire will be out of left field, and someone that no one is talking about.

I’m sure Dolson is smart enough to figure it out during his research. The bottle is not a problem unless you allow it to become a problem for those around you.

I'm voting Beard because that's who I pick and who I think would do great at Indiana.

He's tested, he's achieved. He knows toughness, he can handle the spotlight, and he'd love to be in Bloomington.

Bob Huggins, Eddie Sutton and Bill Self boozed their way to HOF careers.

Where are you seeing he has alcohol issues?

Reported that it was a factor in the DV incident.

Problem drinkers rarely are able to moderate their drinking/behavior without it biting them in the ass again unless they go the total abstinence route, and even then it's no guarantee they won't pick back up and fvck up again.

And please don’t use the term left field, it reminds me too much of politics. Sorry, this comment should have been in the water cooler.

He allegedly gave up beer for one season (2021 maybe?) but said he was going back to in-season drinking because it “got really hard.”
 
Just to mention a few. If a guy likes to drink, so what? As long as it doesn't interfere with his job.
If he's arrested...DV, DUI....whatever.....then it does interfere with his job. I would think that any hire at IU would include, and hilight a morals clause that is designed to protect the U and quell the naysayers.
 
Yea… I’m not gonna pretend to know the dude but yea… it’s actually possible to live and learn. So far he he hasn’t gone Doyle Hargraves on anyone in 2+ years. Seems solid to me.
A few Doyle Hargraves practice and halftime speeches would be inspirational.

I know of people who haven't touched a drink in 30 years. Some of you don't like beard that is very clear That's fine. But in the end dolson gets to make this decision not some guys on a message board. It's comical watching people tear beard apart and tell us what he will or won't do

That's a very very very unpopular opinion on this board but I am with you 100%
 
Whaaa… this sounds made up bro. lol. Link on this one please.

That talks about how he’s going back to his beer. The other quote was reported by Jon Rothstein:

“Chris Beard tells me that he will NOT cut out beer like he did during last season.

Beard on going through last season without beer: "It got really hard when we were on the verge of a big win."”
 
He allegedly gave up beer for one season (2021 maybe?) but said he was going back to in-season drinking because it “got really hard.”
Waiting on link please.

Is this real life? Who the eff would ever say that and only Hank Reardon knows. lol.

These message boards are magical.

Can you effin idiots see the quote, ‘I’m going back to in-season drinking because it got really hard.’ Hahahaha…

Who talks like that in real life. ??

Hank…. Let’s get that link.
