Reminds me of Cignetti

I heard he’s waiting until summer as a courtesy to all the other schools, so those schools can get the coaches they want and get all the players out of the portal they need. I heard Dolson has targeted some Indy high school coaches to start talking to in June. I suspect if we don’t hear anything by July 4, it will likely be a middle school coach. Fire Dolson.

Lol. As soon as these media guys that know nothing drop another name, we'll have another 40-page toddler-fest.

Style of play — whatever style maximizes efficiency with your current roster. Tough, hard-nosed defense with a strong emphasis on rebounding. And can consistently recruit at a high level.

How would we have a deal in place now with a current college coach?

Yeah, but the first time he’d lose a game as our coach, our fan base would start complaining about that hairstyle, lol

It’s a one-person list, but it’s still a whale of a list.

Several have us in. CBS has us in. ESPN has us 3rd team out now. I have us 1st team out, hoping to be wrong.

By any chance is it regarding other candidates believing the job is filled?

If several contacts give out the same misinformation, wouldn’t it seem coordinated?

Not necessarily. I’m sure there are very top level donors who know what is really going on.

Just briefly, at a certain level of giving, each donor gets assigned a “contact person” in the AD’s office (associate AD, assistant AD, etc.). If the donor wants info about anything, they go to their contact person. The names that that been passed along and generally picked up by the “media” (Goodman, etc.) are names that these contacts are giving to the donors. Unless you believe a name like Beard is actually a candidate, they are false flags.

College must be different, at least for this search.

I can assure you there are people under Dolson sending out false flags.

The original message was a trial balloon. It’s part of the process.

Ah. So did you comment last night when everyone under the sun thought we were immediately hiring McCollum? (I mean, that has to be wrong if we’re not yet talking to current coaches.). If not, why did you specifically choose to comment on RTZ’s post?

K, thanks. Lol

A poster that shows up when somebody gets too close to the truth

I met with Scott Dolson today and told him that Turgeon disclosed confidential information as to who the two candidates were, and Scott said that would disqualify Turgeon from consideration. ~Brad Brownell (aka Brad ole what’s-eez name)

Good thing there’s a pool

Correct

True. I don’t remember that he was being asked about a specific job opening, but that was a rare exception, lol.

Yeah, it’s the dumbest thing. Nobody has ever admitted they were considering another job at this point in the season, but everyone asks and then takes these statements as gospel that they are staying where they are. So silly.

For large donors, they certainly want the program to do well, but (this is my sense, anyway) they look at their donation as buying something (e.g., access, influence) more than supporting something. Just my opinion from knowing a couple.

You wouldn’t pay the same price for a Pinto as you would for a Ferrari, but you still need a car, lol.
