WTF? Is this true?

[Bird Friend]

Marcus Belcher (AHC at INSU) to join Birds' staff?

Wouldn't bother me to bring him on. This staff needed to be turned over and it wouldn't surprise me if Dan had instructions that changes were needed.

He has a rich MVC history with ties to SIU, Evansville, and Indiana State. However, I didn't know that the Redbirds had any open coaching slots.

Heard there might be an opening. Guess that wasn’t BS.

Is this a real rumor?

It's on Twitter, so . . .

Not being snarky, but isn’t it Dan’s program? Who would be telling him what to do ?

He reports to the AD.

so who's gone? duhon?

 

[ricohill]

If it is true, it is a good pick up. Assuming Duhon is gone (which, is a huge addition by subtraction unless you run a bar in Bloomington-Normal).

Weird and awkward to leave a conference school for another, but Lansing's ship is going down faster than the Titanic. Dan's ship is sinking at a slower rate, like the Edmund Fitzgerald. A good move by Belcher for job security since Lansing will be jobless at this time next year.

Is Desperate Dan starting to finally feel some heat? He's basically been on a well paid vacation as the ISU head coach just trying to have one good season to bolt to another job. Finally, starting to see a sense of urgency from Muller? Hard part is they are behind the 8 ball with this roster and recruiting class.

Are Jones and Belcher smart enough to save the program is the big question?

 

[Automatic Slim]

Will he have to sit out a year?

 

[Bird Friend]

Will he have to sit out a year?

And he'll have to pay his own way for the 1st year.

I honestly though Belcher would end up with Mullins at SIU. Say what you will about Muller but he made waves this off-season regarding surrounding himself with the best he can. He added a former HC and associate HC to his staff.

Seems to me that the department has freed up some money and sent it basketball's way.

It's an upgrade. I wouldn't call it waves. You don't take a demotion like these guys unless there is a reason. We hired two guys about to be unemployed.

They need to get players fast. This roster isn't winning anything right now.

Well Belcher has a pretty nice track record. Barnes, Key, Neese, Odum, and Scott. All first-team all-MVC guys.

[DaveBird10]

That's my question is we are hiring 2 coaches who are taking demotions and maybe paycuts. It looks great on paper but why are taking demotions and where did the $$ come from. I love the hires and makes sense just wondering how this has come about.

And unless Belcher or Jones has a player coming with them, we aren’t even in on an impact player right now.

Dan seems to have decided going into year 8 it is the time to build a program. Quality assistants, players without character issues. What’s next recruiting high school players from the Midwest?
