I'd treat it like a WWE entrance for a main event.
A brief statement, now introducing the head coach of the Indiana Hoosiers...
*glass breaks*
Stevens walks out
It's Indiana, the last 25 years say the odds of an incompetent search are greater than 0. The real question would be are the odds of an incompetent IU search closer to 100 than they are 0.
Can we stop talking about Brownell? I'm trying to pretend the IU decision makers have two brain cells to rub together, and the thought they'd hire him is getting in the way.
May as well just shut down fhe program and divert the funds to football and WBB. Hiring Woodson showed they were deeply unserious, following him up with Brownell would scream that they're not even going to try.
Plus his salary is already around 4m, so we'd probably have to pay around 5-6m annually plus the buyout.
The last 25 years says yes that would be an IU thing to do.
Indiana needed to go big game hunting; they couldn't afford the risk of someone like McCollum so yes he'd absolutely be a disappointing hire.
This is big boy ball, I don't care what he did in DII.
