Unless he has ISU ties, he'll never pass the smell test

Roger Power Jr would be a great choice. After negotiating a buyout, Dan could take the Porter Moser route and replace Roger Powell Jr at Gonzaga and get some additional coaching skills from Mark Few. Everyone wins!
I'll scream just as loud if we get a former Illini player as a coach.
He'd probably be able to land the Birds a game against em. Not that the program is anywhere near ready to compete with Illannoy. I don't really care where the next coach played*, just make the team better.
*Unless it's Bradley, eff that.

Would be perfectly fine with Powell as a candidate. Great player, dad was an ISU alum and learning under one of the top coaches in the country. I bet Powell isn't allergic to Chicago like this current staff seems to be.

I'm thinking Coach Beard. He's been a top assistant for a long time. Has those Phil Jackson type qualities that players want to play for. He was part of the valley before he went to AFC Richmond. He's got direct ties to ISU. I'm sure it will be an adjustment for him, but he would be a great hire.
heard he's close to getting fired for stealing cleats and putting them in the trunk of his car.
Otherwise known as getting the boot for putting boots in the boot.

We really debating someone from Ted Lasso’s tree? I’m out on that Wichita State bloodline.

ISU would have to fully embrace being a villain. The rivalry with Bradley would kick up a few notches. Could be fun.
Honestly, horrible person no matter how good he might be at coaching. No thanks.
Would he want to come here considering where the program is now? Is ISU a step above Wright State and a big enough step at that?

Five takeaways from Illinois State basketball as Redbirds head into final exam week
Illinois State has endured some up and downs in the early going of the season. Here are five takeaways about the Redbirds as they undergo final exams this week.

I was a little surprised that went there, but he was pretty "polite". Would be/will be interesting to see what the Vidette has to say.Five takeaways from Illinois State basketball as Redbirds head into final exam week

Do you really want another Nagy in Illinois?

I think Nagy or Powell would be excellent choices. I have never heard of Nagy being a horrible person (he did go to Champaign Centennial which is not a good thing). I personally know 2 people who have played for him (South Dakota State and Wright State) and have had very good things to say.
I expect that Powell will be a head coach somewhere next year, would be a good fit here.

Perhaps apropos of nothing, but resume building:
4 year starter EVERY game & Academic All-Everything @ alma mater
Persistence on high levels as a lead assistant to improve his craft
Resistance to leap to "TASTY" positions out of loyalty
More important
Coach saw his program through one of the most tragic eras of ISU Athletics. Maybe some of you loud-mouths need to step back and visit the fountain in front of Horton. Maybe you see Coach @ Mass whenever in town.
Keyboard critics make my stomach turn.
Am I disappointed in the W/L ledger?
Of course. But I can't think of a better leader for OUR program.
