    I guess that’s fair. I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt that his mugshot and the real ghost of Bob Knight will scare him into lasting a bit longer next time.

    @Chris007 is it at all possible that your source is also Rabby’s “reliable source from previous searches”? The numbers he put out tonight seemed to match what you had heard about Stevens over the past few weeks.

    I will say, if our absolute floor in this search is five years of Beard before he commits a crime and gets fired… I’ll take it. *ducks*

    Truly though, I think the only thing you could reasonably take from this episode is that these guys don’t know jack sh*t about this search. I think they are fumbling around blindly with names that literally everyone has thrown out. Refuse to completely count out Stevens so you can keep the engagement, and then pull out the controversial Beard at the end. Masterclass.

    Look! It’s me from 36 minutes ago! :)

    I bet the fascinating info at the end is that they’re gearing people are softening on Beard. Which they got from the boards I’d bet.

    He accidentally out-trolled himself earlier and now is throwing out as much nonsense as he can to cover his trail. It’s a classic late-stage troll maneuver.

    I don’t think I’ve ever seen it asked, but what did you do for the Celtics back when you worked for them?

    Wait I thought you only had any information because you are a friend of a friend of the Turge? Now you suddenly have information about the overarching search that would never be shared with an individual candidate? I love it when a troll exposes themselves by overplaying their hand trying to sound too connected :)

    It’s the Return of the RTZ. As the prophecy foretold!

    Any new concrete things about Brad? I thought the flights were definitely interesting, wondering if that’s what got the whispers going or if it was more than that @Chris007

    This is fascinating. I really don’t know if I buy that Dolson is just floating out names to keep people off the scent but I think he is putting on a masterclass on a very controlled and “no outside noise” search. Other than our football search, anyone else know of a process like this where there was no concrete evidence getting out for several weeks of the process?

    The last 8 years of watching this team have truly been like wandering in the desert. I am at the point where I would welcome Beard with minimal reservations. I am so sick of inconsistency and the promise of talented rosters underperforming so grossly. I just want a tough, mean team with a high floor. sure I would brace myself for the first two years that we would get a shocking police report and it would be over. But winning cures all. If we hired him and got five really strong years before a DUI sends him packing, I could do that. I know that feels gross, but we’d be able to make another monster hire with our resources at that point too. **with that being said, come on down Brad Stevens.

    We desperately need those campus leaks to make their way here because this may be my least favorite argument topic since the search began

    The only reasonable takeaway is that we are hiring Brad Stevens or Big Turge
  16. JimmerNoe

    General Coach Candidate News

    I got the same takeaway from this article. He is hearing from insiders that they think our coach will be someone not on these lists? If there was any realistic name he was hearing he would print it. The truth is, anyone outside the very comprehensive list he has in his article would be completely out of left field. There are no “veterans wanting a challenge” that IU would want that are not already on that list. I think Bozich and probably some others are hearing some variation of “Scott’s got his guy, and I’m not telling you who it is”.
  17. JimmerNoe

    General Coach Candidate News

    Totally agree. And I agree with your sentiment that IU will be getting a great coach no matter what based on the factors we’ve gone over here before (compensation, revenue, NIL). The only negative to a tight lipped search is the chance it is a left field hire technically exists and we can’t be 100 percent confident in the pool they are choosing from. Which i think is the reason for continued paranoia on the boards given our recent history. Lol

    Personally, I would think that if this person is having multiple in-person meetings with donors about compensation, things would be advanced enough that we are talking about getting something in writing sooner rather than later. I can’t imagine from our side of things that anyone would say “no” after meeting with Brad. Would that seem to be along the lines of what you are hearing? Or why else would the donors putting up the money need to meet with him?

    So with Rabjohns saying he doesn’t have a clue what Dolson is thinking in this search, does that mean we can safely disregard his hot board and intel on this matter? I didn’t see a hot board post from anyone yesterday so maybe he didn’t put one out, but it seems like admitting you don’t know what the hiring party is thinking at all should exclude you from making much commentary on who they will pick lol

    Either if those tier one candidates would be a huge win

    Mark Turgeon - A Coaching Candidate? Or Not

    Oooh he’s an angry Turge

    When does Rabby typically put out his hot boards?
  23. JimmerNoe

    General Coach Candidate News

    I do appreciate the extremely short turnaround on the troll behavior. We get quick hits for 1-2 hours to keep us addicted instead of 2 week time frames where we just stress ourselves out.

    this is what we live for! I cannot wait for my emotional crash out when we do not get any updates for three more weeks, but for now, we ride the lightning!

    $67 million you say? Was that the revised Bradley deal for less years more money?
