Most Likely to be the Next Coach at Indiana University
created by wolfrp4
Steve Alford
Former player for Bob Knight - doing well at New Mexico after a few mediocre years at Iowa
Sean Miller
Pete Gillen, Skip Prosser, Thad Matta, and now Sean Miller as the next inline to use XU as a launching pad to the ACC or Big 10?
Mike Montgomery
At Stanford for 18 years then moved to the Golden State Warriors. Has IU ties, could work out.
Scott Drew
Baylor head basketball coach and son of Coach Homer Drew of Valparaiso and brother of Bryce Drew.
Thad Matta
Wasn't interested last time the job opened up- but still has ties to Indiana. Might be different this time around.
jamie Dixon
Pitt coach originally from Cali. might be intrigued by IU job
Tony Bennett
Midwest ties, but need him to sign a contract that includes him not leaving IU for Wisconsin.
Dan Dakich
Can the current coach be the "next" coach? I guess its a matter of semantics, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Dakich back next year.
Bobby Knight
The General Robert Montgomery Knight returns to Indiana University - This man never committed a NCAA Violation during his years in Bloomington

I think this one is coming down to Crean, Bennett, and um Pitino unbelievably.

Stacks - the Pitino stuff is surprising I heard from somebody a week ago whos brother's cousin's sister's uncle is close the program and was saying Pitino wanted the job. I kinda laughed it off, but I keep hearing it. Is Crean really that good? If he gets the job, he should be sending daily thank-you letters to Dwayne Wade. I hope Miller doesn't leave X, but I think he might be gone. I thought Matta a while ago, but I just saw hes re-loading at OSU with a couple of new McDs All-Americans. Probably hard for him to rationalize leaving for IU at this point.

1. Tony Bennett was just quoted as saying " I am not pursuing the Indiana job" 2. Sean Miller was adament in his postgame pc of UCLA loss that he is back at X next year. 3. No big ten coach has left his current school to coach at another big ten school since 1908. 4. Jamie Dixon, Brownell, Barnes, Pitino are their best bets at not completely pissing off Hoosier Nation. 5. This PBR committee will fuck this up and IU will be right back to this position in 3-4 years. 6. Purdue and Bulter will continue to get the states top talent while tOSU, Duke, and NC get their pick of the litter.
