I appreciate the insight and info. There’s just some cognitive dissonance we’re a working through.

May I ask what leads you to say this? Was that said to you or gut feeling?

Hiring a non-big name and before the tournament starts would be disastrous imo. Means not even working on successful coach already in the tournament. Not a program ender but does NOT bode well for the future. Dunno.

Please do. I dunno why I’m jumping into this discussion. Even if Chris Beard was doing his drinking at home, I still wouldn’t want him as coach.

Other Ole Miss insiders, their Rabbys or Trevors or Bozich discuss this on boards. I’m sure if you search you find it hidden away somewhere on their boards. Fans don’t care in Oxford/possibly like it. PLUS the coach at IU could wear a full on burka and he’d be recognized by his gait. Ole Miss fans may not know they have a basketball team. You can also think of it like this, why in this day of cell phones and cameras don’t we get images of our players at parties and drinking?

Big words from someone advertising their murder technique via screen name. But I’ll say it again, if the world needs more of one thing, it’s optimism.

I’m only saying this half-joking but if you could control who you hire, would you really want Mick Cronin reporting to you? I’d rather not manage him personally. Given it may be a-holes and personalities at this level but I’m not sure I’d want to manage him. Seems like another sour relationship like Woodson albeit for different reasons.

I know Christmas is great but this really is the best time of the year.

Is ELE LEO’s sister?

I’ll have you know I’ve been vitriolic for years towards all shapes and sizes of pans.

Buckner is not involved in the hiring until they are at final approval. His involvement is what leads us to our current predicament. This is Dolson’s show and his alone.

I can hear Scott now: “Oh no the microphone is out of batteries.” “Tornado Warning in March, that’s odd.” “Do you smell something burning? Better pull the fire alarm.” “Did Galloway just say there is a team bond? I heard bomb. Everybody out just in case!”

Are Woody and Dolson on speaking terms post “retire your backside”? I can’t imagine they are. It was my understanding there wasn’t the warmest of feelings there. And I’m pretty sure everyone in the AD who would be involved are on NDAs and that’s a select few. Dunno tho.

If I were Dolson I’d ask Woody for recommendations and then immediately cross them off the list.

He lives in Iowa and he wears shirts some would consider too small. There’s two negatives right there. Case closed.

No we won’t. That’s ridiculous. You don’t know what you’re talking about.

I can think of a few humans to volunteer as tribute… Guess it all depends on the humans.

Unsure if this is purple font or not because mine was. Chris said he wants everyone to do what they want —-> anarchy. And if Chris is an atheist, I neither know nor care. Don’t care if he’s Christian, Sikh, Taoist, Agnostic, or Muslim. As long as he’s not Mormon…(I’m one) it’s a joke. let’s get back to tracking flights and hacking Dolson’s phone. Anyone heard anything about a new GM?

Chris is a confirmed anarchist. Heard it here first.

Yup. No one will hire him and then go, whoa it turns out this guy is really into religion. I am not worried about it. I think KathywithaC’s process may not be enthralled…

I think the religious aspect is more the “institutional” perspective than personal. Agree or disagree with his beliefs, blurring the lines of personal belief and team dynamics is a risk that IU institutionally may not wish to take. Then again there’s always Al Davis—“just win baby”

Steve, let me show you this new mask all the kids are wearing these days. Oh, it’s hard to speak while wearing it? Imagine that…

How dare you post a picture of my “behind the bench”. Sometimes belts just don’t work.

He’s been around more than one game. And his digital footprint. And his scouting at a non-IU game. Yes, scouting. There are cover stories but there are also small things that add up. And yes my tinfoil hat is on tight tight.

I also want to echo what athleticdept has said. Though not absolutely conclusive, don’t Scott Dolson’s actions regarding scheduling demonstrate he has faith in his pick? Not to mention a former player’s sudden involvement with the team recently. if Scott Dolson is Hansel and Gretel-ing me only to eat me, the last thing I’ll remember is the thought of Brad on the sidelines before I’m dead. A guy could do worse.
