What would make a candidate a good fit?
- Thread starter .Gerdis
- Start date
First and foremost quality: His name would have to be spelled Brad Stevens.
See Chris Beard, obviously minus the events of that 1 night. Of course if that doesn't happen, he's likely not available to IU.
Outgoing personality, great tactician x's and o's guy, and experience with the NIL and portal.
Yes all of these. Thats the problem imo with a guy with only one year of D1 experience he lacks experience in the non coaching stuff
Whoever the next coach will be, they’ll have a complete staff. I’m sure Dolson is prepared for that.
Think I saw an article where he is planning on having/hiring a GM for the program.
If it's McCollum I sure hope they give him a little extra NIL $ his first 2 years. So important for a guy like that to get off to a good start. We may have to overpay a bit in the portal to get good guys that fit his style until he can get settled and get his feet wet a bit.
Absolutely cannot lose to an ISU or FW again year 1 or lose 12/13. Dolson has to know how important that is. Hopefully he's raised the funds.
Interesting. It will be curious to see what role the GM has in shaping and running the program.
It seems we have a likely chance of bringing in a coach that is used to having a very different type of program. It will be very interesting to see how they do in a program with a model like IU’s .
I hope the new coach brings his own model. IU can throw out the model they've been using for the past two decades.
Whoever the coach is, it should always be his call to the players he brings in. May or may not need more money.
I look at is as a positive, as on taking somethings off the plate of the coach and supporting the coach.
If you remove that one lucky run no one would know his name, except IU fans who believe him sniffing RMK farts made him a genius. Didn't work on Dakich, Davis or Woodson. Maybe they didn't inhale like Beard did ..
His offense sucks .. it's outdated... and it's boring AF. He's not a championship coach, championship coaches have the ability to teach and play elite offense. You can't bore and hack your way into a chip.
I get that his team is winning the MVC in his first year but his players are actually rally good compared to most of that conference. Stirtz is head and shoulders the best player in the league.
I see Archie comparisons too with what a big jump this would be for a guy like this. Doesn't make sense when you look deeper. How patient would IU be with a guy that also has no history in D1 besides this year.
It would be like a AA baseball players getting sent to the majors. It is possible to work out but 99% of those guys have to go back down for more seasoning before they are truly ready. Must my opinion...
