What would make a candidate a good fit?

[kmathum]

Dumbass?

If you are, just admit it. It doesn't necessarily make you a bad person.

March 12th Update to my wish list...In order of preference...

*** Purely a wish list. Like asking for 10 thousand dollars worth of stuff on my christmas list as a kid. No factoring in likelihoods, buyouts, etc... ***

1. Brad Stevens
2. Bruce Pearl
3. Nate Oats
4. Jay Wright (this might be higher with GM role also hired)
5. Billy Donovan (same as Wright, might be higher with recent college experienced GM)
6. Grant McCasland
7. Ben McCollum
8. Dusty May
9. Chris Beard
10. Todd Golden
11. Will Wade
12. Scott Drew
13. Greg McDermott (might be higher if somehow paired with Alan Huss, for a succession plan type approach)
14. Jim Crutchfield (might be higher if there's a succession plan type lead assistant involved too)
15. Alan Huss
16. Buzz Williams
17. Mark Byington
18. Mick Cronin
19. Brad Brownell
20. Randy Bennett

I'm sure I'm missing someone obvious that has been talked about.

Just curious why you put McCasland above McCollum?

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 it's outdated...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.

Lol, stop it.

 

[BA47591]

Know what it means to embrace the job

A lot of confidence

Some swagger

 

[Hoosier_Phenom]

No it isn’t.

Yes it is. I’ve watched about 8 of Drakes games this year and just couldn’t get excited.

 

[Hoosier_Phenom]

You tell 'em. To hell with winners!

Winners in D2 and mid major.

 

[Hoosier_Phenom]

Boring offense? Who the hell gives a rats butt? Does the man win or does he not?

He wins at D2. That doesn’t say he would be a great coach at a high D1 university.

 

[nichlee]

Personally, Hoosier fans will get behind any coach who wins, and I think most Hoosier fans appreciate great D and effort.

The problem I have with this argument is that it's tautological. It applies to any coach. It could mean the head coach is Brad Stevens, Brad Brownell, or Brad Pitt. Of course if the team is competing for championships fans will have bought in. I understand you're projecting out McCollum to win like he has before but he's no more guaranteed to keep winning than Archie was.

Winning Natty's?? Who's legit expectation is that?... Sure, regularly having teams that could make a run at one is an expectation. But actually expecting to hang banners... not realistic for anyone probably. Its something you just cheer for when it happens, in my opinion. And when a guy gets 10 plus years in to a job like IU, you start wondering why they haven't won one yet. But its not a yearly expectation.

Have you read the other delusional posts on this forum? Never underestimate the Hoosier faithful.

 

[zeke4ahs]

Did I say anything about his winning? I said his style of offense is boring. Unlike you clowns that think Cignetti is so great, I don’t. He has to show me because I don’t give a shit about what he did at JMU. The same goes for McCollum. One year at Drake doesn’t impress me. If his offense is slow paced because of the players he has then I would put him on my list. I just don’t like slow paced games where the score is in the 50’s or 60’s.

Oh that’s a pretty bold statement. Only clowns think Cignetti is so great? I guess national coach of the year is a common occurance for IU.

 

[zeke4ahs]

He had a soft ass schedule and that’s the reason he even made the playoffs. When he starts beating good teams I’ll give him the respect he deserves.

Oh wow. So you are an ND fan? I’ve heard there were people like out there, but I’ve never heard of one.

I could get behind Brad Pitt. What do you think our chances are?

 

[T.M.P.]

Every coach that's ever won a championship in the 21st century.

Why are you so dumb?

I am not a ND fan. I just don’t get excited for 1 year with a soft ass schedule.

He didn’t win it and it’s not hard when you play a charmin soft schedule.

 

[Hoosier_Phenom]

I hate the SEC. That bald headed asshole is dumb just like some of the idiots on this forum. He’s an SEC homer and people on here are Cignetti homers.

Then you aren’t a Hoosier fan either . This past football season was my favorite sporting season ever of any sport. And I’ve been alive for NCAA champs.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associated_Press_College_Football_Coach_of_the_Year_Award He won 6 National Coach awards. Gee if it’s so easy, why has IU never had a winner before? You’re being ridiculous.

 

[zeke4ahs]

That didn't sound right to me either, so I looked it up.

Freeman.

The Bear Bryant one. Cig won AP COY and five others.

Oh, I see. Cig won the AP COY, Freeman won the Bear Bryant Award.

My mistake.
