IU will lose all 5 starters and prob their 2 recruits. Going to be slim on wins for IU the next three years. Years 4 and 5 will tell how good of a coach he is.

Agreed. I think it's a great hire. To have the success this guys had in the Big East (the worlds best conference) show me that he can coach.

He needs at least 2-3 more years to show what can be done at IU. IU was in the dumps when he took over, I expect a competative .500 team in the Big 10 next year and then steady improvement over the following two years. IU nation will be all over his a** if that doesn't happen.

Hi guys. A few of you still bought yourself some time but if you want to admit you're wrong now I'm ok with it.

You'd really be crazy to support this guy. Choice is yours.

[rpncaine]

Agree, next year will be make or break. If they don't show big time improvement the dogs will be out. Top 3 or 4 in the Big10 is a must.

Coach,

Looks like we were right. I am still enjoying having him coach in the Big ten since they are absolutely zero chance of beating WI with that idiot as a coach.

It looks that way. I still think he'll get two more years and if he does this thread will be highly entertaining.

Ok so Gillispie didn't pan out at UK but I believe that mentioning Darius Miller negated that mistake on my part...but..

how do you guys like Crean now? How do you like that 14 million buyout this year, 12 million next year, 7.5 million the following and 4 million after that?

Hoosiers are done. Battle, outside of the Crean hire, has done an outstanding job with the athletics department...but that doesn't really matter in Bloomington.

I do enjoy watching this program suffer. But even I have sympathy for a few of their fans. It's absolutely brutal for the Hoosiers.

Just horrid, brutal, everything.....

Had some very good talent come through the past 6 years, but has done nothing to show for it. In-game coaching has been a disaster. The game at Illinois this year alone is a perfect example of how horrible Crean is coaching. Make an A** of the program with the Sweet 16 rings. Wait a minute 6 years, 2 postseason trips. "Turrrrrrrrrible"

I would look competent coaching Dwayne Wade.

Crean fired was a very popular April Fools joke.
