Two questions:

1: Who is Jerry? Lot of ppl have referenced him as someone in the know but I haven’t seen a post in the few days I’ve been on. Do we trust him? And who does he think it’s gonna be?

 

2: Yall see theres a flight from Bedford to Teterboro a couple hours after the flight from Btown landed in Bedford. In the infamous words of all our flight trackers, “could be something. Could be nothing.”

Jerry is like god lol

Calipari to Kentucky would be a third.

Just ready for this to be over and to know the decision. The fact that Goobman gets all of us to jump every time he tweets makes me sick. I’m not even sure how I feel about McCollum. To be honest, it makes me nervous, but I would support him. But just imagine our meltdown when he takes the Iowa job haha. The Turge about to dominate headlines in here again.

If Kansas or Duke hired McCollum this offseason, would folks laugh at them or be disappointed it wasn’t us? How do you all think he’d do at either of those programs?

They lost 69-63 to Duke in 2019 by the way. That's with a different core than the team he is currently winning with.

Do we know anyone that lives out of Huntington and knows Miller Aviation?  They could tell you who is on that Boston flight lol.

It even more likely that this push is from his agent to get Iowa to move quick.  

Or, Goodman just heard that from someone that BM interviewed with IU's search committee and that there was interest from both sides.  

Occam's razor, ya know? 

No cloke and dagger stuff.

When Jerry talks...people listen...before he went silent he said we got our guy...

Iowa also has terrible NIL, which is a huge factor in today's day and age.

It doesn't appear to be or we would be attracking big time coaches not mid major guys.

Dolson needs to shock the sh7t out of us with a huge name or sack up and go the Beard/Wade route. If  "Fire Woodson" chants were off-putting to him, the chants he hears after a Brownellesque hiring will be horrific.

I think Goodman gets commissions for getting all of these other coaches raises or higher paying jobs. Kidding but maybe not kidding

Reality: I want Indiana to hire a proven guy too. But the time for that was 2001 and 2006. They did so with Sampson and we know how that turned out. Mike Davis is a great guy...but that decision to keep him has haunted the program for a long time. This isn't Dolson's fault Previous administrators have ruined this program. 

I know a lot of you don't like Goodman but I think McCollum is the guy. The timing was interesting considering it was after Indiana lost today. Again not my favorite choice but I don't hate it. I take his resume over Archie Miller's. You don't win 4 titles in D2 and 30 games in D1 by accident. My question is how does his personality fit at IU. I hope he can create a good culture.

Duke hired a coach who has zero head coaching experience.  And they are number one in the nation.  A good coach can coach no matter the experience. A bad coach can’t even with experience.

Aren't you always in the laughing columns of every poster that has had something to say about stevens for like the past 4 weeks?

I either have an admirer or a stalker.  Either way, I am flattered.

It's probably a factor if it's down to picking one or the other to be the head coach.

 I know wrong thread, but y'all should be watching Creighton/DePaul...great game!

It’s been a great game. 

[BA47591]

I would be curious to see who would be more popular choice if we could go to Fantasy Island and get our guy: Brad Stevens or Jay Wright?

Neither. Just something that I noticed. I dont know if it was all of them but I'm perceptive enough to know it was a bunch of them. It's all good, everybody has their own opinions.
