I rather have Fife than Brownell.

Not until after Drake is eliminated.

I can't reveal my identity, but Chris can vouch for me.

Folks, let's take a second here. You don't fire Mike Woodson for Brad Brownell. Scott isn't nor can't do that.

It has been as I reported last night that the Goodman tweet was fake news. Also confirmed by RTZ.

Ben McCollum is set to become the new Iowa Men's Basketball Coach, sources tell @Trish

You still gotta pay your dues, we expect coffee each morning for those in the Top 10.

Woodson doesn’t even know his name still.

It’s not over until the ink is dry. We ain’t landing Brad with that attitude!

Brad Stevens. It’s time.

Goodman threw a nothing burger. Don’t feed into it!

Exactly this. Iowa wants Ben to move an hour in a half east instead of 10 hours to Bloomington. He loves Iowa and his kids love Iowa from what I’ve read. Bloomington isn’t Des Moines or Iowa City and that’s a good thing.

I’ve been reading stuff suggesting Ben isn’t exactly all that great with the media. Indiana is a different beast when it comes to fan interactions.

Yes, for sure. It was quite apparent when Indiana went with a guy like Woodson.

Never said he can’t win, I’m implying Indiana can’t land the big fish because it’s not just “Indiana’ anymore.

We’re just getting started!

Goodman will tweet it to rub it in the face of IU fans...guaranteed. It was a nothing burger from Ben’s agent to Goodman to get Iowa to make a move ASAP. It’s not over, we’re just getting started.

Fran will be dismissed from the program tonight if not tomorrow. Ben McCollum will be the #1 candidate.

It’s fake news everyone. Just enjoy your evenings! As a great reminder, we no longer have to watch Mike Woodson basketball! I hope he’s finished packing up his office along with the rest of the staff.

We already tried the hiring an alum route. Brownell was just born in Indiana and played at a small college. But I do agree, the theory of Indiana hiring a big name is likely a Make-A-Wish.

I’m thinking it’s fake news. Iowa is going to lose here in an hour in a half. Iowa will open up tonight / tomorrow. Ben will take over Iowa.

Are you Dolson’s neighbor? He’s a great guy.

Ben loves Iowa, he’s home. I really don’t see him leaving, his family just settled on being back home too.

Alright, I made a couple calls because I got worried for a second. This could be a nothing - burger. Goodman stirring the pot letting Iowa know Ben is available. I’m expecting Iowa to become open and Ben to be considered a very strong candidate for the job. Ben can coach, we see the results. I think we’re all worried about the risk after the whole Archie Miller experience. I think we have our guy, I don’t believe it’s Ben.

We will find out about us being a football school this year. Dolson’s career will indeed be on the line here.
