Dakich didn't recruit any of these players. No way they let him coach this program. He couldn't even lead Bowling Green.

Does anyone remember when Dakich almost got hired at West Virginia over Beilein a few years ago but he decided to stay at BG? Man oh Man what a disaster WVU would have been with Dakich at the helm.

Yup, he remained at BGSU and proceeded to get worse and worse before they finally canned him. His best shot was in 2002, when they lost to Kent State in the MAC Title game (the year Kent went to the Elite Eight).

Lots of choices, no real front runners yet.

It's Mike Montgomery, and I think he'd be alright. He was a disaster in the NBA (big surprise) but he's a pretty good college coach. I'm gonna say Bennett but if Dakich can get the past the Sweet 16 I think the job may be his (unfortunately).

Re: The new (08-09) Indiana Hoosiers' coach will be...
I think this time around they will go with someone who has a connection with IU. They tried it with Sampson and it blew up in the face, worst case scenario. Mike Davis wasn't ready to coach a big time program like IU, but if they can bring in a coach that has a connection, they will hired him. Lawrence Frank is a good name. I think he will definitely consider it but then again, he is from New Jersey and coaching the Nets is also a dream job for him.

Indiana needs to go with a good coach that won't cheat, period. By the Brad Brownell would be an excellent coach and he's originally from Indiana. He turned Wright State around in two years and has them poised to make another run at a bid if they win the Horizon Tourney.
