Indy- how pissed are the donors? Imagine for JW to make bold moves he would need them to support

I still don't want Beard. If I can't defend myself from my wife without beating the hell out of her, I don't belong in a leadership position, especially as a leader of young men.
I watched Knight pulling that crap and I won't watch an Illini coach that I know is the same type.

Gard is great for Wisconsin. Not what we want. Underwood is getting darn close to convincing me he is not what we want either. I don't envy Josh Whitman's post-season meeting with Coach Stubborn.

Underwood I think will get one more season after this one. But if he doesn’t get to a Sweet 16 next year, then Underwood will be fired. 10 years and 1 second weekend isn’t enough. Not with what IL pays him and pays the players

Can’t do that. We’ve given Brad Underwood the benefit of the doubt and “moved on” from too many despicable losses. It’s time for real consequences

I don't think he'll leave Texas, but I've always been a big Buzz Williams fan. He took Marquette to 2 Sweet 16s and an Elite 8 without Dwayne Wade. Then for some crazy reason he went to Virginia Tech and somehow took them to the Sweet 16. Now he's completing his 4th consecutive 20 win season at Texas A&M and has them ranked in the top 10.

On top of it all, Buzz has never had elite talent. Give him a top 10 NIL roster and I could only imagine what he could do.

I'd take him over other names mentioned here. I want nothing to do with beard or golden.

That said, I think BU cleans up his staff and gets a year to right the ship. I'm hoping this will be like that IU year mid 80's when wheels fell off but Knight corrected the next season and won his last title in 87.

Relax children. Brad isn’t going anywhere. Changes yes but not at the top. Period! Mark it! Any so called expert saying he’s gone is no insider.

Brad has to go. He consistently folds on the big stage, has no gameplan whatsoever, and refuses to ever adjust to anything. I don't care if he agrees to overhaul the assistants. He did his job of resurrecting the program, and I hope he's always remembered for that, but he has reached his ceiling (and frankly looks like he doesn't care anymore). This program should be consistently producing top 15 teams with the resources we have. We can do so much better.

Maybe true but his endless supply of excuses after excuses every press conference just a bad look but then he always adds “no excuses”. We all know about the illnesses injuries it’s his job to get the most from the players he does have and he has not close to doing that.

I can tell you Brad is trying to win every game no matter who is healthy and who isn’t. If we had 4 healthy dudes and a manager he’d go in there and try and figure out a way to win the game.

was brad ever asked by the university to tone it down or does he straight up not care anymore. so soft now. I just dont understand.

Why are you such a brad believer? I think everyone here is extremely aware and thankful for what he has done to bring the program back. However, 2 of the last the years have been unmitigated disasters, and the elite 8 run is all thanks to a guy that was a Michigan commit who dropped into your lap from an admissions issue.
