If it’s not the A tier candidates I’d much rather take a swing at a guy like McCollum than someone like Brownell. 
 
Regardless of who the next coach is, the fanbase needs to back him. Show support and rally the program. 

We will certainly give them a shot and hope the risk works. I guess we will see if doldon really is a genius or not

I think if Rabby is saying there’s a ton of smoke behind McCollum then that’s likely the case. He doesn’t gamble much with this stuff.

However, Rabby has to start gambling at some point. He's got to show his subscribers that he "knows" something. With how quite things have been in this search, he's probably feeling the heat.

Oh after they stirred up that Beard stuff last week (after saying he wasn't a candidate since the start) then immediately went back to saying he's not a candidate, he's been banning people right and left when people were rightfully starting to get after him.

I have serious doubts that Scott answered any questions about anyone that he may have interviewed.

I'm referring to Goodman's quote in his tweet.

No way that Scott is telling Goodman anything and Goodman's tweet doesn't quote Scott - just references "sources."

I am on the Big fish train till the end, but at one point you listed McCollum as 2b choice (BS, May (gone) McC) and said we would be getting a great coach. He isn’t close to BS certainly but you seem to have soured on him a lot. 

This is funny

There is no basis that he can recruit at this level? Name me one McDonald’s All American he’s recruited? One NBA player?

I fully believe IU, NIL, and Adidas recruits itself.  This doesn't worry me one bit

Yeah. The sources for this are not on the IU side.

Oh I’m good. Appreciate you taking the time. I just want IU to be successful and it’s going to take a lot if we go this route. Dolson knows this but it might be his only option but I don’t think so. Can’t wait to hear though.

I actually like McCollum. Dolson is smart enough to get a staff around him to help bridge any gap.  He brought in Fife and Matta before. He will get a good GM in place. Which would be coming regardless and is already in place in other big ten schools.

I don’t get much info anymore and I sure hope what I just got was wrong, not because I don’t like him it’s because I allowed myself to get sucked in again.  McCollum was who I was told.  Went all out for Stevens but didn’t work out.  Please be wrong!!!!!

Welcome back 0708

Maybe McCollum can win too? 

He could! I’m just saying I wouldn’t expect it, kind of how I don’t expect IU football to compete for conference and/or national titles. That’s where my view on IU basketball would go. Maybe McCollum would prove me wrong. I’d hope that he would. My expectations for IU being an elite program would finally die from that hire. Maybe it’s my fault for still having them this late in the game anyway.

It would be nice not to have two hires in a row who need the bridge gapped. But I guess it's not to be

I don't dislike McCollum but I have immediate concerns about any candidate that needs the AD to immediately build up a support system to cover gaps in his ability to run a big-time program. That's such a red flag.
