You know things are going well in Bloomington when in Mid March the biggest thing IU fans are rooting for is Clemson to renegotiate with their own coach

Maybe. In fact in 1854 pages I’d say someone probably has. Point is a lot of really average names get thrown out, and we all want a winner. To me McCollum is the Cignetti hire. For whatever reason, he didn’t move up to the big stage in head coaching until later in his career, but he wins wherever he goes. Not saying he’s our best option but I’d have him in that Top 5 to talk to.

I don’t think you stay in any place or in any job for 14 years without wanting to be there. Why did Mark Few never leave Gonzaga when he clearly could have? Just my personal opinion, but I’d rather gamble on a guy coming up that’s done nothing but win, then bet on a guy who has proven the best he can do is get to the tournament most years.

Totally don’t understand the lack of enthusiasm for McCollum. That Archie trauma must still be strong. I understand it’s D2, but there’s 300+ division II teams and he won 4 national championships in like 14 years. Check my math here, but that’s pretty f’n good. He won 12 straight conference championships. That is not just a great coach, that is a great system. And all he’s done in 1 year in D1 is win a conference championship basically with D2 players. but sure…Brownell it up and Beards away!
