I'm sorry.. did you just call Creighton to Indiana a lateral move? lol 

I'm not reading past that. Have a nice day, or don't. 

From McDermott's perspective? Absolutely, he's got it completely made at Creighton and consistently has them in the top 20-25. Why leave that to go try and do that Indiana?

I would sincerely encourage obsessive of this search to consider:

1. Both Thamel missives seem to indicate he’s talked directly to Scott Dolson

2. Goodman is an actual journalist so he’s not just blowing smoke, though when he editorializes it’s pretty transparent. As @Hoosierfanyuh mentioned, he’s careful in choosing his words. He surely has connections at IU, however, it seems like his info is coming from the coach/agent side of things 

3. Other than mayyyybe some leaky donors or athletic dept. staffers, the IU side of things has been basically silent (though see #1 above).

4. Focus on actual, material happenings. May got an extension, for example. There have been some milquetoast denials, which the denier could easily “change his mind” about, or use as leverage for more money in his current job. Not much else has happened publicly.

5. Finally, no one is really out until the job is filled. I mean there are coaches who are contractually unlikely, of course, but failing that, we don’t necessarily know much

Can you fill me in on #1? Not up to date on that

If money was his primary motivator he would have left Creighton years ago. He's already made several millions for himself and has a son who has more money than sin. 

There doesn’t need to be a singular or primary motivator, it could well be a combination of things.

Statement Monday. Announce him after their season is over. Gotta get a jump on the portal. If it’s him, he can address with his team this weekend. Just my take. Not saying that’s what will happen. 

What statement could they release. McCollum will not want any of this to get out until after his season is over.

That would be a terrible look for McCollum (or anyone for that matter) if their name was leaked prior to their team not only playing but losing in the NCAAT. I think Goodman's tweet was from McCollum's camp to put Iowa on the clock. If Fran isn't fired in the next 24-48 hours, McCollum to IU might actually have some legs.
