If Drew is an option they should hire him and not think twice...
Bigger question is how much is Baylor really paying him and does he want to be the “blue blood” instead of forcing Baylor to be a national name.

Arkansas basketball is the equivalent of Tennessee football in the SEC. Indiana basketball is the equivalent of Nebraska football in the Big 10. All four programs have been enduring terrible hires since their iconic coaches left.

At first I shook my head at this, but then the Long-Fulmer parallels made me have a Keanu Reeves moment.
The biggest difference is we've already corrected our mistake on that front.

I’m gonna guess neither leave their jobs for Indiana. Why would they?
They haven't won a championship in a Georgia era time frame.
They are a blue blood in basketball like Minnesota was once a blue blood in Football.
Alabama is a better job. Better recruiting.

Sorry, but I think you're the one fitting this criteria at the moment. To imply that we haven't been desperate for success on the hardwood for decades is just factually incorrect. Yes, we've blown it with contract after contract in football, but at this point the desperation market for basketball coaches is still rational relative to profit potential.
My first memory watching the hogs was 1994. It's been downhill after that in an Arkansan amalgamation of Stoernovers, muffed punts, missed scoop and scores, and foul bouls.

Oats's buyout is $10M, or maybe $12M. I've read both. He's not going to Indiana.
ONE booster paid the 10 million to shite can Miller. ONE! Dont ever think buyouts will be an issue for either IU or Purdue Basketball.

they mentioned Brad Stevens who may want out at Boston and they mentioned the TT guy who is a Bobby Knight desciple

They won’t get either of those.

Nate Oats will stay at least 2 more years, question will be if he believes he can have sustained success there at Bama. If he left for another college job it would have to be a huge step up, which Indiana isn't right now, more a career suicide job
If he leaves it's for the NBA but he hasn't shown any interest yet

Stevens isnt leaving a good situation for IU. That one is just a no brainer.
Beard will likely not leave Lubbock until his daughter is of college age. That is why he coveted that job, was because of her. That is why he left UNLV after just a few days when it came open. Had nothing to do with the prestige of the program.

He's a big NBA fan and his offense is very well suited for pro ball, but I think he'd lose his mind coaching pros. They will never buy into his whole blue collar basketball mentality.

Lol. Delusion at its finest.
In no way is Alabama a better job than Indiana. Come on man. Better recruiting is a dumb take. You think 5 stars care that you’re in the south or close to Atlanta/Nashville? 5 stars go to Spokane, Kentucky, Kansas, etc without batting an eye. They’ll have zero problem going to play for a good coach in Bloomington.
That said - he’s not going to leave for IU. He’s only been there 2 years and he’s good enough to hold out for a premier blue blood or NBA. Indiana is on the fringe of the blue bloods - and Alabama isn’t afraid to pay Oats. They’d have to take someone from a school with a weak AD that doesn’t care.

For the last fricking time, I didn't say Muss sucked or that I don't want him here or that we are blue bloods now after a top 10 finish.
Success is measured in the postseason. If you don't agree with me on that its fine but just say that. If we don't get to the second weekend we haven't actually gotten anymore success than we had with Mike. Does he deserve a raise? Absolutely. Does he deserve top coach money? Not unless we make a deep run.
Therefore if he doesn't get there (I think he will) it isn't the end of the world if another school pays him crazy money to go there and we don't match it. This isn't because we finished in the top 10 and are suddenly a blueblood.
Like you said "We have fixed our problem" when it came to the bad hires. THAT is why I'm not worried about losing Muss and why I am confident that we can make another great hire if we do.
This is the problem. Don't project your beaten dog syndrome on me. If you want the sky to be falling all the time go for it. It's gotten so bad that half of you frickers think I'm serious when I make fun of it. Jeff Long and John White can't hurt you anymore.

Explain Nebraska. Explain Tennessee. Explain Indiana.
It's recruiting.

The past three failed BB coaches at IU tells us there is other problems than just a coach.
Not enough Jimmy Chitwoods anymore
Jimmy Chitwood : I don't know if it'll make any change, but I figured it's time for me to start playing ball.

This is just stupidity. This isn’t football. You don’t need to recruit 50+ studs. Recruiting is not and will never be an issue for Indiana. It’s not a problem for Tennessee either.
Nebraska football? Sure.

Yeah - coaching and administration.
Nate Oats turned Bama into a 2 seed in 2 years. Bruce Pearl turned Buzz Peterson’s roster into a 2 seed year 1. This isn’t about recruiting.
I will laugh in the fricking face of anyone that tells me Alabama is a better job than Indiana.
