That would make all kinds of sense.

I actually thought he'd be a natural fit at UVA. But maybe that's become an unattractive job because of the perceived reasons Bennett left -- too little NIL? Or maybe the Cavs have their eyes on someone else: Byington?

31,000 followers and on X since 2013.  Seems reasonably clued in on these things,

Saw all the pages and got excited, pretty lackluster catch up. And for the record, it’s pronounced, gif.

Is data pronounced data or data?

I don't think Mcdermott

His time at ISU is almost Archie bad. I say almost because ISU is a harder place to win than IU. But if he comes here and puts up results closer to his first big stint than his second it will definitely be a fail.  
 

The thing about McDermont is you have to believe that ultimately there was something fundamentally that was wrong with his approach at Iowa State that he identified, course corrected, and can avoid repeating at another power five job that isn’t Creighton. And I say that as someone who is fairly bullish on McDermont. I personally like watching his teams, aesthetically speaking.

I'd prefer Brownell or Turgeon honestly.

Right. I don't really see Cig as a "schmoozer", salesman type. He probably ranks donor meetings alongside colonoscopies. But the guy is supremely confident in his abilities and projects that. Also very media savvy. 

lol… sounds like his day is mostly consumed with watching film and being a coach… great idea!

Are we sure we have a McCollum yes to fall back on? That dude is obsessed with Iowa

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

[RaceToTheTop 30,151]

Well, if I can't avoid gifs, might as well join.

Amaizeing pun.

Turgeon

That would test the faith in my IU fandom. 
 

There’s enough data on McD at Creighton to think he could be successful here. He’s also 60 so if stumbles out of the gate you would hope IU could pull the plug quickly instead of do the ol’ Davis/Crean routine of “he needs more time!”

Didn't I read on here that Brad wouldn't get into negotiations until we technically don't have a coach? 

Not exactly.
