For me? It's nothing personal. I just don't want anymore continuation of Archie or Woody. Exceptions are Jordy and Calbert.

Oh and leave Ostrom in Morgantown Darian.

I'm good with the hire. With any hire it could go any one of 3 ways: Good, mediocre or bad. Hopefully this one ends up good.

One thing is for certain. Drake is really moving up the hierarchy of stepping stone jobs lol.

Except for the attacking the portal idea. Devries would have that over McCollum obviously. And also I'm not real sure anyone knows Dolson's list. Devries very well could and some would argue should be higher than McCollum.

Clearly I don't know but I'd be willing to bet that happens more often than any of us would think.

I don't know either but there have been CFB coaches that coach a bowl game after accepting another job. May be the same here.

Except there'd have to at least be a 5th right? Whitten?

When do teams generally arrive at their tournament venues? Squeezing a meeting in between Tuesday evening and then playing Thursday seems tight. Certainly possible I'm sure.

The next coach better not be someone that could be retired mid-season because we clearly can't handle extended coaching searches.

He's a guy. He coaches or something at some capacity in college I believe. He just states his opinion. If you or anyone thinks he has clout that's your choice

People get way too up in their feels here considering it's a message board. A place where folks come to share their thoughts and opinions. If you don't like hearing differing thoughts, opinions, strategies or whatever then maybe it's a you thing rather than an everyone else thing.

Think you have to be careful doing that now unless the walk on is an upper classmen. Can't remember if it's next year or the year after that all players will have to be scholarship players. Probably want to fill with a true scholarship player? If they are walk on level then unfortunately I think you let them walk on down the street when that time comes. I know that sounds crappy and that's because it is.

Collins: I'd toss whatever I was holding in the air. Then I'd pick it back up, apolgize to my daughter for tossing her. Sit down and talk myself into giving him a chance. McCollum: I'd be excited to see what he can do. P.S. I don't throw my kids.

Something tells me Peegs is about to become a free site lol. Dude has lost essentially the last shred of credibility during this search. Just wow

It'll get popping again as soon as this search is over Jeffrey. I'm pumped for this next season but also trying to temper my expectations.

And to be clear....I'm totally on board with McCollum. All of this talk about politics, schmoozing and recruiting is meh to me. Is that important? Sure, to an extent. What IU, and every program, needs 1st and foremost is a ******* coach. Give me a dude that knows what the **** he's doing and the guys he needs to ******* do it. Period, end of story. Guy wins and guess what? Everyone around will be schmoozing his @$$ and recruits will line up. I don't care how far he's gone in NCAA tournament, I don't care how many 5*'s he's recruited and I don't care how "icky" he is. Give me a dude that ******* wins and knows what it takes to ******* win. Sorry for so many "f" bombs kids.

Right. Just like you're not denying it would be him.

Not sure why I'm having such a hard time getting people on the Calhoun caboose. If we're going mid major/up and comer. His teams play a style that is fun to watch and tenacious on defense.

I mean your "wink" talk clearly eludes to McCollum. Somehow people here have forgotten who the #1 fanboy of McCollum is. I don't mean fanboy to be derogative here, just don't have a better term.

I'll add that if Dolson and Whiiten are at f' it time they could hire Wade or Beard. Don't think they're there but who the hell knows at this point? Answer is nobody.

Agree with all of this and I think it's someone in the field. Only exception I could see is Devries. Darkhorse (left field) for me is McCasland. Most likely is either McCollum or McDermott. Disclaimer: My opinion and I cannot be held responsible for the thoughts in my head.

Just to be clear everyone knows that Teterboro airport is 12 miles from Manhattan right? Nothing goes on there and certainly no rich people would have any business there.

Can you people stop posting for 5 minutes so a guy can catch up? I mean damn. Been trying since selection show started lol.

You all took the Tommy Boy GIF way differently than I did. I took it has him admitting he's been blowing smoke this whole time. But I'm generally cynical.
