If you put all the hidden posts together you uncover a secret message that identifies our next coach.

Not Wrong

We are split between the "sky is falling" train and the "take a breath and see what happens" train. Beyond that, nothing to report other than reports that Dolson is playing everything very tight and no one knows anything.

State of this thread:

I really thought adding the comment about Dolson blocking himself from googling "who should I hire" would have been a dead giveaway of the absurdity of my post. Obviously Dolson has been doing something!

I hate to break it to you, but Dolson wasn't waiting for Woodson's season to end - he was and is waiting for the tournament to end because he is a stand up guy and believes it is irresponsible to do coaching search while the season is going on. So he's not going to start the search until after the Final Four. I've heard from someone in IU's IT department that he asked to update blocked website to include any that discuss coaching candidate and explicitly blocked himself from using Google to search "who should I hire as the next coach at Indiana?" It's going to be a long month.

The NSA sources most of their intelligence about IU basketball from this board.

It's IU, Texas, Xavier, Boise St for the last two spots most likely.

Bozich also didn't say that IU is going to hire Brownell.... on Thursday morning he said that Brownell and McCollum were the top two on IU's list. Let's just wait and see what happens.

We've heard consistent comments about how close to the vest Dolson has played this, then he leaks it right before the tournament and sets up his next coach to be questioned about the IU job throughout his tourney run?

The extent to which he is driving in this thread today is wild.

You keep saying this. What are the past hires in which we've chosen a mediocre proven coach over a good coach with issues? Obviously you had to be in favor of the Sampson hire if this is your view.

True. And also, it's not 25 years of the same administration. I'm not sure hiring Mike Davis is a particularly relevant precedent to this discussion. Let's just take a breath here.

Adaptable.

People are really bringing out the feelings today.

So wait...no offense to Stu but what makes his info "more right"? It fits what they already think.

So Turgeon was eliminated?? Shocking.

Actually think that college with NIL has potential to be a much cushier job than NBA coach.

Was that in the alumni newsletter?

Do you have a reminder set to post this every few hours?

There's quite a bit more noise on the board this time around too - not saying that's good or bad, just that it is. I'm very optimistic there will be a good hire regardless.
