The next coach will get at least 4 years, whomever it is, barring something illegal. You don’t start changing coaches every 2 years just because you get desperate and impatient.

Why did Cignetti coach so long at low D1 schools?

I would have loved to read the opinions on Cignetti before he was hired.

Just curious, what connections did Sampson, Crean, or Archie Miller have to the past?? Or to Knight??

To me, if the Beard talk is valid, it indicates the search hasn’t gone well. Original top candidates maybe not interested and we have to take another look at someone they initially were a hard no because others have passed??

I don’t get the impression these guys know anything more than rumors on the net like the rest of us

Eric said he would be SHOCKED if Mick Cronin is the next coach at Indiana

I never realized Yasir was caught up in that

I would be surprised if IU hired someone who was on an FBI wiretap for the biggest hire in the history of their storied program.

From everything I have read UCLA is in a real financial pinch. Would seem they would want every dime they could get from that buyout, no?

Yell for the team for those of us watching from our living rooms!

Serious question….if Brownell is a serious candidate, why not Alford?

I second this…good podcast listen

No, it wasn’t

He is similar to Woodson in that no one, college or pro, has been clamoring for him to be their coach. Did UK or UL court him? Shoot, any other school for that matter? If Turgeon is even remotely close to being a candidate, the search has gone off the rails badly. I would be stunned if, with all the NIL resources and apparent salary possibilities at our disposal, no one better could be had.

He’s seems to be very sensitive. Always talking about the impact of the fans on players and coaches. Methinks he would have had a tough time here during the Knight years.

Or some python for that matter if you catch my drift….

Luke Murray no HC experience. No way Dolson rolls the dice on that at this stage. Alex Barlow I’ve never heard of

Here’s a choice for you. Look at the 3 résumé’s below. Which would you choose?? A: 698 - 367 (.655) B: 452 - 279 (.618) C: 503 - 244 (.673)

Sweet mother of God….

“Vetting” would probably be in the form of contacting agents (Drew/Otz/etc) and finding out if interested? How much money would it take? Other wants? Taking that info to find out who serious candidates would be. Just my guess

Cronin just isn’t a fit IMO. Personality is abrasive (can’t imagine Dolson would enjoy that in the athletic office everyday), he whines a lot, UCLA fans don’t show up to watch his teams. Positive would be I am sure UCLA wouldn’t be too sad to see him leave, so might get a negotiated deal on the buyout. But guys like him will wear on you. And his personality isn’t going to change just by coming here. I have heard that he was very interested in the Louisville job last season and they passed. Having said that….I’ll take him anytime over Brad Brownell

As did Kentucky and Louisville last season

I kind of thought it was to form a list of backup options if Stevens and May don’t work out?

I can’t bring myself to imagine the reaction to a Brad Brownell hiring
