Is it time for him to get a job at a big six conference school? Tennessee?

Just don't see it. The guy makes 750,000 at Butler. Pretty sure Oregon offered him money last year and he turned them down and I know they offered a lot more than 750,000 which shows you he must be pretty happy at Butler. He'll leave Butler when Indiana comes calling.

Can dominate his league and has 1 final four appearence and quite possibly another coming. Could not see the reasoning behind a move at this point. He is so young he will have many opportunities and can wait on a REAL one...JMO

Think he is waiting on Indiana.. jmo.

Would be the first call I'd make if I'm hiring a coach at any big 6 school.

You are prob correct.

IIRC he left a corp job with Eli Lilly to get into coaching. Clearly he is an Indy guy. It would have to be the perfect job for him to leave IMHO.

After the NCAA tourney last year, Stevens went on record to say he is staying at Butler for a long, long time. He went on to say that not only he, but a lot of the alumni (i.e. Big Donors) want to see Butler as a "dynasty" team and mentioned in the same sentence as Indiana, Kentucky, UConn, Duke, UNC, etc. as big boy basketball schools. The interview (heard on 1070 the fan by Dan Dakich) wrapped up by Stevens categorically throwing Todd Licklighter and Thad Matta under the bus for leaving Butler...this guy is Butler Blue through and through...I don't see Tennessee getting him to come to Knoxville...

You are probably right - but he'd tell me and $3M of my closest friends "No.", regardless. Several times, in fact.

He'd be crazy to go there. I'd rather have the GTech job.

True, but in reality i could care less who they hire since they are a rival. Im just glad that damn red coat went out the door with Lowe. Beat UNC once and its a staple in your coaching attire.

No way i'd pay Stevens 4 million a year to coach here. He aint done enough to get that much money.

Put his face on Neyland's statue, give him half of Dooley's contract plus his own, change our name to Indiana and we'll be talkin.

I disagree with this post, in its entirety.

I wouldn't even offer him - I'd tell him to name his terms, and once known, would get it done, be it via boosters, a telethon, or large-scale and forcible plasma donations by registered voters residing in Tennessee.

And I would never look back.

And to think this guy was working at Eli Lilly plant in Indy before he decided to get into coaching.
