That said, if I knew who each of you were, I'd probably know a dozen or so. Just send me your social security and ATM PIN number and I'll validate.

Sure

Seems like everyday we hire another coach.  How many is that and who will it be tomorrow?

Remember when Otzelberger was our coach for a couple days last week? Those were good times, and his theoretical teams played hard. They don't make 'em like that anymore.

Is kathy going to come and confirm Goodmans tweet?

Or Isaac?

I noticed she was lurking on the board yesterday shortly after @Chris007 said lets have a quiet day.  I anticipated that she would be on this board diagramming how the rest of this process is going to play out.

I am not against mcc. I just wanted a big name to immediately bring the fanbase together. This dude will need time we don't have i fear.

I think we’re going backwards.

I understand what you’re trying to say but that’s not it. I still have several friends who can’t talk to me about the hiring process. If it was McCollum for the last week they would have been saying it. Jerry would be here posting. 

And you know I appreciate you, and by that logic I have to believe it’s been done the entire time, or it was over a while ago but Dolson has chosen to keep this as silent as possible. I’m fine with either, and wasn’t making a comment on his info, it’s just absurd to think Brad can’t make up his mind or Dolson somehow fumbled it now or didn’t agree to something— which I said I didn’t believe was true. 

 I have an incredibly hard time believing we wouldn’t essentially call Brads bluff and agree to whatever demands he would have made. I also don’t think someone who went from not coaching to coaching to front office is someone who needs this long to make up his mind. So it’s either been done, or it never was. I guess we could say it’s possible the president of the most storied franchise in the NBA is indecisive, but that’s not a jump I can believe. 

Maybe I’ve just talked myself back into it being done hahaha

Osterman?? I’m too new here to tell if ppl are joking…

He's Dolson's mouthpiece.  That's why when he wrote an article about mid major coaching options, everyone should have prepared themselves for this possibility.  Dolson could still pull a rabbit out of his hat, but I would just be prepared for McCollum at this point.

Enjoy the process peeps.  TBH, if we can't get the big dawgs, I am perfectly content with taking a chance on a young pup.

I'd give Cig another season before you crown him.  We played 2 good teams all season and got torched both times.  He was also able to bring a bunch of his JM guys with him.  Just reminds me of Tom Allen's covid year where we didn't beat a single team that finished in the top 25 and he got a near $40M buyout for it then the wheels came off.  Many of us called it at the time.  Expect a lot of 7-5 finishes from Cig which is certainly fine.

This years team only beat the 26th ranked team. No way we could have beaten a ranked team like Illinois, right?

McCollum is deserving of ‘similarly worded’ praise from any AD in the country, imo.

It took him until his 3rd year at NW Missouri State to win 20+ games, same as Hurley at URI and UConn. 

He continued getting better at that level and built some very good teams which he retained the cores of. 

This group he took with him may have been the best core he ever put together.

Stirtz is a nice piece. If he can retain some of the guys on this roster and get some transfers from the programs with coaches people pine for over him - who also happen to praise him and have strong relationships with (McCasland at TTU, McDermott at A&M, Smart at Marquette)... you can see him having a serviceable roster in Y1. Still plenty of valid question marks/obvious risks. We'll see how quickly kids learn his system and if he's able to retain them / use the portal effectively. 

I'm comfortable with the risks personally. Excited to see what he can do with our NIL and HS recruiting. 

I cannot understand how anyone with the least bit of intellectual honestly could  read that article and the comments from D1 coaches on McCollum and continue shitting on the guy. All this pearl clutching about the stress and the fishbowl……lSomebody is getting a future hall of famer and I hope it’s the cream and crimson.

If you don't want McCollum because Archie...you're a moron.  Flat dumb.
