General Coach Candidate News

[JimmerNoe]

I think @IUFB post from last night with the Winston smirk and the @RoadToZion post this morning are the vibes I’m rolling with. Seems like they have some sourced, recent info saying this new smoke is just smoke.

I don’t even think Brownell himself is buying the smoke today.

I'm going to give Kathy the benefit of the doubt here. We all know she's big on process. And she's said several times she is choosing her words carefully.

So the fact that she has, at least twice, said that we aren't talking with "active coaches" yet must mean something. There is no reason to use "active" otherwise.

So I think one can conclude that, if you believe Kathy, that means we have been talking to non-active coaches directly.

That could mean Brad or Wright. Sadly, though, that could also mean Turgeon...

Put differently, everything she is saying (unless I missed a post...which could definitely be the case), is consistent with Dolson having a verbal agreement with Brad.

Edit: Or, I guess, with Brad having turned down the position...

BBQ = Brad/Brad Question? IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE HINTING AT??

No, he’s just trying to get my attention. 
My sources 100% confirm that today calls for BBQ and Beer. He forgot pi, but that’s a bonus. 
 

Done deal.

IUFB over on peegs isn’t buying the noise from today either lol

As he shouldn’t.  Brownell is not going to be the coach.

So much of this. The Indiana administration has been glaringly bad for a long time. Not surprised we’ve made every bad decision imaginable along the way. And now, it’s all the fans fault for our inadequacies. People making decisions that have zero to do with winning because that has not been their priority. They get caught up in the minutia or concerned with ideals either cultural or political that are more important to them. Sports are for the dumbfolk in the eyes of the academics. If only they’ve learned that they’ve been doing harm all along not only in the sports world but the real world at large too.

Good sports programs are given the freedom to operate somewhat independently from the BS of the academic side. That was part of the success that RMK had - the president and AD insulated him from all of that. It can obviously go too far - I give you SMU and UNC. LOL

But there's no way that places like Duke, OSU and Alabama would have the success that they do w/o the athletic departments being allowed to function somewhat independently.

Quinn is just letting ole-what’s-eez-name get thrown out so people have a sense of relief when they announce the king is back to cook another year

Posting for those that haven't seen it...not to get into a Wade should get the job over X candidate argument.

In Goodman interview posted yesterday said he's not leaving McNeese for the first thing that comes on the track. Looking at opportunities, he will only jump if he feels like the staff, NIL and resources are in place to win a national championship. Wants to be at his next stop for a long period of time, doesn't want to keep moving his family, daughter, etc.

My guess is she’s being technical and Turnkey, the search firm, spoke with Smart (or even his agent), so technically a contractor did, not IU

Right but talking to his agent wouldn’t be him interviewing.

Anyone can make it to the big leagues but can you stay is the question? 

What are you saying SlammySammy is on a 10 day contract?

Right but the point is the same, if Shaka himself spoke to a person who works for Turnkey then IU, Shaka, Kw/aC all have plausible deniability that IU didn’t interview him.

10 days might be a little much from what I have seen in his posting abilities. HAHA :-)

What's good, fam? 

[IvanRenkosillegitimatechild]

I know everyone said McCasland won’t leave Texas but his contract is only like $4m… if IU doubled his Salary any chance he leaves? IMO it would be out of left field and he’s a veteran coach

nah nah...

"there have been many conversations, with many people, the details of those, I cannot disclose, but rest assured, the search firm and IU are doing their due diligence because we know how important this hire is. And we aren't having direct convos with coaches, just there have been things discussed, again, can't go into details"
