Is IU smart enough to hire Gregg Marshall?

It's fair to suggest that IU fans are dumb/old-fashioned/reactionary/etc. but Fred Glass is actually smart and good.

Bad, very bad!

There's like, nothing particularly bad about that video. I mean, it's embarrassing but there's none of the cursing or going after Kentucky players he claimed was going on unless I missed something.

Not saying that didn't happen, just saying I don't know why she'd be overly pissed about the video itself.

He's dumb but I don't think he would bullshit around when it involves Alford. And no doubt he and his show would be the point man in "smoothing over" the baggage Alford has that Doyel wrote about today.

Well, that was a weird and disappointing season. Looking forward to how Nick Ward, Cassius Winston and Jeremy Langford develop. Glad I got to experience a guy as talented as Miles Bridges on my team for a year. Hopefully he finds a good home in the NBA. Next season should be fun, especially compared to football, which...won't.

I'm not sure how Dakich would ever smooth that over considering his listener base is pretty much all people who already don't care.

Regardless, Alford is a mediocre coach and a piece of poo poo person, I'm not supporting a program that hires him. And it would kind of blow my mind if it happened, too, because Glass is strongly against being a piece of poo poo and doesn't have a history of making hires as lazy and disappointing as that would be.

E: Glass should hire whoever is in charge of the insanely repetitive ads airing on the March Madness Live app. If they can make me hang myself, they can sure as poo poo hang a banner.

I am going to agree with everything said here, with the addition that multiple well-connected people have contradicted the "Alford's already signed" rumors.

Yeah they're buddies. He publically defends Alford all the time, and has taken credit for helping get him the New Mexico job so he could get out ahead of the posse and avoid getting fired by Iowa. I don't take him seriously on most things but I would with this

He also called his move to UCLA literally half an hour after Alford re-signed with New Mexico.

I believe it.

How the gently caress did Oregon State make it?

I'm not grumpy and legitimately think we'll be in the middle of the conference in basketball soon. Football takes longer to build and it's impossible to judge until year 3, but it is a horrible conference that doesn't have a high bar to entrée for being mediocre.

Every single year the Ivy League takes a break from fucking up the world through its various alumni to fuck up everyone's bracket instead.
As much as this season has sucked & still likely ends with the nightmare of another UNC title, the ongoing humiliation of Duke & Grayson Allen in particular has been a great watch.

Remember they were getting called the most talented team ever and shut in the preseason and I guarantee you thus would've been an unavoidable vomit-inducing redemption narrative once they even sniffed the Final Four.

In conclusion, gently caress Duke and thank you Cocks. Now somebody for the love of God beat the Tarheels so the rest of this is enjoyable.

Duke loses, UL loses, UK wins, great day.

If only Arkansas had pulled it out. Or Cincinnati wasn't falling apart here. Could have made Kentucky's path a little easier. The South region was considered the toughest coming into the tournament and looks to be the only one that will be chalk for the Sweet 16.

Before the tournament started, kenpom gave South Carolina a 17.1% chance of making the sweet sixteen, so fairly low, although not insane, odds. The history elevates it though.

Honestly if my team loses, I may actually still be happy just because Duke got proven for the fraud fucks they are.

Alford running for IU is probably the best move for him. He can have a fresh start there (with a cache of good will to let him have a pass for the inevitable years of underperformance), I think sentiment in LA is still very much for firing him if he has another bad season, regardless of how this one turns out (honestly he's a loving turd so I don't blame them).

Really have no clue who would respond to that hiring by giving Alford years of patience. Don't know a single person who wants him.

Also don't see why they'd hire a search firm if there was any really chance of making the laziest hire possible.
