also would make it easy to continue cheering for Beilein. I got no beef with Marquette
What’s this mean? Pardon my gambling ignorance
And we have an extra game per year to root against Wisconsin!
It means the odds went from 25:1 (ish) to 2:1 and the book took it off the board presumably because it looked like a situation where inside info could exploit the situation, or at least the move was fast enough that they wanted dust to settle.
Would be a fantastic hire for IU but I don’t see why Beard would want it. He already makes top-5 money and he is a Texas native.
Yeah, I don’t really get why he’d make the move. Although if he was the mystery coach that spent four days agonizing over the Michigan job before saying no, maybe he is open to the Midwest.
Yeah if he really was the guy that considered Michigan it makes a lot of sense. He’s doing great at TTU but it’s still not a top job. And he’s a Knight disciple right?
Maybe he likes having electricity.
Just kidding (and don’t mean to make light of a very serious situation)…
The IU fans in that thread don’t seem too excited by Beard. I think I’d be pretty fired up about a man that nearly won a national title with Texas Tech. Apparently for a lot of them it’s Stevens or bust?
I think its fair to question the cultural fit of Beard and IU as well.
Finally the media starts to call out Izzo for his behavior: https://www.detroitnews.com/story/opinion/columnists/nolan-finley/2021/03/19/finley-msu-must-check-izzos-outbursts/4766188001/
Check Izzo? Good luck with that.
Why do you say that? Not questioning–I don’t know well enough tbh–just curious.
Been in the South his whole career if I’m not mistaken. Plus not only do you have to win games at IU, you need to be liked and accepted by them. Miller didn’t win games, Crean won games but was pretty much an @$$hat so they ran him out. Sampson won games but probation is kinda a problem I suppose.
hmm
OK sure but LOL!!!
I like where this is headed! No probem at all if IU wants to do a RichRod on the guy. Rather they not do it on Beilein.
The Coach K coaching shrub continues to flourish.
