Not sure I would put clappy at #1.

His team has on and off the court issues, but they are preseason top 25, and he still has a gigantic guaranteed contract.

The only way he leaves after this year is if he initiates the leave and accepts a reduced buyout.
 
Many like myself are skeptical the man can get it done, but IU isn't just preseason top 25, but top 10 even 5. Crean has a real opportunity here to have enough success with this team to contain his critic's, and assure his viability as coach at IU. I'm hoping they have the kind of season that's just good enough for that to happen. I have seen it noted they have a very favorable B10 schedule this year, and with what I'm sure is an anemic preseason one hopefully he's back at IU the following year.

The lost 14 games last year including to the juggernaut Eastern Washington at home. Clappy is always going to be clappy and IU will forever be IU. Im ok with that, but i don not buy the IU hype.
 
I hope IU has another bad year and Cream stays around for a while. I have forgotten how long his contract is. Does anyone know ?
