I thought Mooney was one in your top 10 for Hamilton to call?

And notice that the day by day rule can't be too long

no way. Clearly VN is just a conspiracy

It would be nice if people would think instead of spouting emotional BS.

Excatly the same way I feel about Brad Stevens. Good coach but would not do well outside of Indy.

Matta is the only guy to make the jump from Butler and win.

That would be a de facto ban on Pearlophiles and the Orange Overall Crowd.

You think Stevens couldn't? He can recruit, manage a program, and out-coach most in the x's and o's department. He's a far better coach than Lickliter.

That said, I'd be shocked if he wanted to come here. He's probably waiting for IU to open up.

And, perhaps most importantly, he'll never tell a lie and hurt us.

Most Important IMO, JMO, TIFWIW

Hat, I missed your top 10 list, but do you think Frank would be a good hire if we could get him? Seems to be quite a stir with him right now. Thanks.

 

[Shaun1985]

Recruiting is the only downside I see to Mooney. I don't think he'd get a lot of All Americans to play in his offense. I like the guy though, a lot!

 

[Shaun1985]

Hat, with Mooneys style, don't you think it would be difficult to get top ranked recruits to play in it?

I think Frank would be a fantastic hire. I also think the chances of it happening are minute.

That's my concern.

Yeah, I guess to good to come true. Thanks.

Hat. Do you think Mooney could if given enough time have success like Bo Ryan does a Wisconsin? Wouldn't that a dream scenario when hiring a guy like Mooney. Bo Ryan is such a great tactician that he does a nice job of equalizing talent gaps year in year out. I know Ryan has not had any highly ranked classes in the last few years and yet Wisconsin is rolling.

 

[kidbourbon]

UT needs to be very careful about hiring a great tactician who has never had to recruit at the highest level. Look how that turned out for Iowa.

Thank you for noting their similarities. It helps frame the discussion.

 

[kidbourbon]

Excatly the same way I feel about Brad Stevens. Good coach but would not do well outside of Indy.

You don't think Stevens would be able to recruit? I disagree.

 

[Shaun1985]

Same rules apply to Stevens IMO.

I'm not talkin' bout year. No, not three or four. I don't want that kind of forever in my life anymore.

That's tough way to do business, year in and year out. Could he? Sure. It's just reducing your margin of error down to near nothing.

Thad has an edge both Stevens and Lickliter don't possess.

That would ruin the traffic on most internet message boards.
