Here’s a scenario I haven’t seen mentioned….maybe not plausible…but what if Dolson hired Shrewsberry as HC with Stevens as GM?

Dolson hiring a guy once under FBI investigation would be something

The hot stove is always more exciting than the season itself

NASCAR…Race….get it??

He hinted that Keatts might end up at a mid-major that will be a better overall job than NC State. Thinks that Ryan Odom is the guy at NC State. Really doesn’t know where IU will go with their search. Doesn’t think it’ll be Otzelberger. He thinks Collins is ripe to leave after the season and might be a candidate for IU, as well as Villanova and Virginia. Spaces is still ongoing

Yeah I’ve listened to Todd on Coyle’s show and I don’t think he is realistic about the IU job opening.

In the parlance of Stevens in the northeast, does this make McCollum a cornhole?

It’s a complicated situation man, lotta ins, lotta outs, lotta what have yous, lotta things going around old duder’s head

Nothing ever closes in sports. One could argue the window for Indiana football to gain national relevance ended when Mallory hit the skids. You’re always only 1 hire away

If Collins is such a great coach, how come no one else has come along and stole him from Northwestern?

That is for sure my feeling. While Goodman can be smug about it, I don’t doubt his information is accurate. I am as diehard of a IU fan as they come, but I see similarities to Notre Dame football. They always thought they had Bob Stoops or Urban Meyer lined up and lo and behold would hire Tyrone Willingham, Bob David or Charlie Weis . Some of the names thrown out now just boggle my mind. Collins, Brownell, Schertz, etc. For the love…..

A lot of fan interest is going to go full throttle Cig baby!

I think fans want to win. I know I do

Here’s my question, if this has been done for awhile why are they still vetting people?

Reading the tea leaves….I don’t think this search is going particularly well. If someone was a hard, definite “no” initially is now “well, on 2nd thought…” likely means one thing. We are striking out a good bit on the top choices.

Well, at least McCollum has won somewhere. Some of the names thrown around haven’t won much anywhere they’ve been and apparently think they will just magically cross some threshold because they move to an 812 area code.

That’s really some insider sh!t

Judging by his rather lengthy career at the power 5 level, aggressive mediocrity.

Wonder why Michigan, Louisville and UK didn’t go after him??

That’s as big of a roll of the dice as McCollum IMO, perhaps even more so as Collins hasn’t proved, at any level, that he can win big.

I cannot imagine, with as big of a hire as this is not only for IU but for Dolson’s legacy overall, that he would risk a hire of Wade or Beard. It’s not just that Wade broke rules that aren’t illegal now, it reflects on his character that he was willing to knowingly break the rules in place. Is this someone you’re going to trust to run the biggest program in the state and attach your legacy to? I just cannot see Dolson doing that.

Well, you know what you’re going to get with Collins and Brownell. Average coaches don’t all of the sudden become great. It’s not like either of these have a small sample size. Both Collins and Brownell were on the hot seat recently at their respective schools. Would you take 3 tournament bids in the next 10-12 years? History shows that is what you could expect to get, based on evidence.

Idea floated around the bench

That was the brilliance of Rick Greenspan

I’m giving Dolson at least enough credit that he won’t hire a guy that will be dumbfounded if an opponent switches to a zone
