Why is Brad Stevens trending on Twitter?

“I've said for couple yrs, this ship sailed long ago. But we're a desperate lot, and desperation spawns gullibility. And visa

This describes me perfectly.

IU has hired Parker Executive Search to assist in finding candidates for the opening. I suppose they could always tell Dolson "this Stevens fellow seems to meet your criteria".

If its a fact that they've hired a search firm...then Stevens isn't a candidate.

Dolson reportedly talks with him regularly, and Dolson has basically known there was going to be an opening for over a year... Wouldn't need the search firm if it were Stevens, obviously.

I would think it also means some of the higher level guys on all our various lists, also, aren't viable candidates.

Google it. It's worth a Google😁

That’s not true. Search firms do more than search for candidates.

ha ha...nice. I guess they are due to help pick a good one?!

Obviously...but I can't think of anything they'd do, that would be necessary if Stevens were the choice.

To your point though, maybe on all the rest.

Weirder things have happened. But not many.

And this whole "family vote" thing that showed up this AM...I've now seen this in three places. Just another bit of BS that gets repeated over and over until everyone accepts it as gospel because "they've seen it everywhere." As if Brad Stevens is going to announce that they had a family vote and he was the only one who wanted to leave the Celtics. It's ludicrous.

It may be. The original source is Mark Titus via Tony Adragna. He shared it 3.5 years ago.

I’d guess they want 3rd party vetting.

Roadtozion saying it is done. He is “usually” correct.

That was last week. Then, three days ago, RTZ said it was we had a 40% chance of getting Stevens. Then, earlier today, the odds recovered a little bit, with a 60% chance of getting Stevens. He will provide another update on Sunday. LOL, can't wait!

Farming false hope....

60%? Hell, I'll offer up a 65% chance of getting Stevens for a few extra clicks.

So....does this mean Stevens is the only member of his family that isn't a MassHole?

feel like our journey back to blueblood status is like Andy crawling through that 1/2 mile sewer pipe. It has to end somewhere...right?

I think our "journey" started in the prison laundry....not the sewer pipe.

My source tells me there is 60% chance Stevens just got an IU tattoo. It’s happening.

Thats the good news....bad news is that the tattoo is a leprechaun.

43% chance according to my sources.

You have to wonder if it is really Assoc head coach Steve Masiello that’s getting the job done with the Johnnies.

Serious question. Why would you wonder about that?

maybe the showers...

Because I think Pitino is just a figurehead for the program. I may well be wrong but I don’t think he is that active with all of the aspects of the program.

Because of age or something else?

 

[kkott]

It was "done" four years ago too. Until it wasn't.

It's easy to make claims like this. If it happens you look like you're in insider. When it doesn't, you can just claim that you were right at the time but "things changed."

We've all seen this show before.

shut up and just let me kick the damn ball, Lucy!

There is only a 38% chance of that.

Why? If it isn’t golden boy who else would you feel confident about who isn’t currently still coaching? This is how we got CMW.

If he already has his person, it’s him. Only other possibility is Jay Wright, which is even more doubtful.

Haha I knew it. All those idiots on BTown Banners got played.

I doubt the new coach will be announced this month.

Technically, Goodman’s post is incorrect according to his source, The Field of 68, as they claim “sources” informed them.

Ho hum. I’m guessing both Goodman and The Field of 68 are seeking more clicks.

This maybe petty, but Brad doesn't look good in red anyway.

I think we probably moved on. We didn't really want him anyway. He didn't fit what Dolson's vision is for our program. If Stevens is worrying about what his family thinks, and not in the gym working on his craft, we don't want him anyways.

Oh that’s nonsense. Dolson wouldn’t stop pursuing him this early without a hard no unless of course he was confident through the back channels that Dusty was a yes. We shall see. I’d be thrilled with Dusty or Beard.

IU is a football school now anyways, which is actually a good thing. Football pays the bills.

For what its worth...that quote included about how much he enjoys being a Celtic...is basically, word for word, what pretty much everyone says before the end with something like... "but, I feel like I need a different challenge"...

If he actually said the things Goodman and The Field of 68 are inferring, he/they would have included those quotes too.
