Time to bully Dolson on social media into not hiring McCollum. 

This is how we end up with Brownell.

Well let’s just all be thankful the only decisions you ever made around Assembly Hall are where to park and Chick-fil-A or a hot dog.

Lol so much I could say, and want to say, but I’ll bite my tongue and just say I hope you’re right on McCollum

[Herotime]

I gotta believe if it wasn’t Brad @JerryYeagley23 would have been here a  long time ago to tell everyone to give up the wishful thinking. He’s been tagged 1,000 times over the last month.

Yall - Dolson hasn’t kept this quiet the whole time for Goodman to break it. Cmon.

He better increase that pace because no one wants to see pace of play like old man Bennett

Winning cures everything. He wins and I could care less how he does it. As long as he wins. Pretty simple.

I think we all need therapy on here because we are losing it. How about let Dolson do his job and not freak out after every tweet that comes out. Also if a guy is hired that you don't like nobody is making you watch IU play so either back the coach or don't watch anymore. I would really hate if we hired Beard but I would have to make a choice and I probably would still support the program.

The tweet said "one of" the candidates. Get a grip. 

McCollum must not like who he works with...

FYI, odds have moved a bit.  See link below.  The BetOnline format makes the uploaded picture kinda hard to read, but if you click on the image it will expand and become larger.

Interesting Brad isn't even on here.  I'd think someone wants to bet him and the book will of course take their $.

[Silat Player]

Everyone needs to relax. We still have no idea who the coach is going to be yet...

Goodman mentioned this yesterday. Said if we were to hire McCollum we would need to surround him with excellent assistants “if he were to make it at Indiana.”

yikes 

The idea that the bumbling IU admin could pick out assistants better than McCollum himself is so comically ridiculous that it could only come from a guy like Goodman.

Trilly thinks this is a “trial balloon” and not a done deal to see how fans react. Take that as you will 

Jesus, Trilly really has lost his fastball.

That’s simply not believable. Honestly, the whole squabbling over a couple million here or there or Brad trying to make up his mind for four weeks just isn’t something that makes the slightest sense.
 

It’s more absurd than the notion he’d actually still be Scott’s guy. It’s either done, or it was maybe a week at most of negotiation and we moved on. There is zero chance this has gone back and forth for this long with Stevens. 

At minimum, there was a verbal. That’s facts. Period. And others can vouch for that, but I won’t speak for them.

Actually I can understand if it’s not Brad why he’s not showing his face lol

I would be extremely disappointed if this even approached the truth. Dolson’s job is to select the right coach. Trial balloons are strictly for PR reasons. 

[Kentuckysucks]

Goodman is a clown but he hates IU with a passion.  Wants nothing more than to see us look like fools.  He's also well connected and has great sources.  He's known the whole time guys like Brad and Drew were never remotely an option.  We tried warning you.  You bought into the nonsense yet again.  The good news is that BM seems like a solid coach.  He could definitely be our Bo Ryan for the next 20+ years.  An equally good chance that he completely implodes.  We shall see.  But at there's hope unlike with a Brownell or McDermott.

Yay we’re slightly better than Minnesota. I wouldn’t pay him more than a million I know that. Better give him like 15 million in NIL

Sad but true. I mean Minnesota has a better coaching candidate list than we do lol

It would be nice if we had more fans who knew how to read.
