Just hire beard and let’s win for the next 20 years. Idk what’s so hard about this. Indiana has to act like it’s better than everybody else and that’s why we have sucked this whole century 

Exactly……

Get Brownell a pen ASAP, and get Collins on a plane to Philly, buy his ticket if you have to. 

We want Brad so much, we’ll offer to help hire your coach for you!

Izzo covered up sexual assault, bo Ryan was banging a young Wisconsin university employee, pitino hired hookers and had tons of other problems, pearl, self,  and coach cal got in trouble for recruiting violations. But god forbid Indiana hire a coach that isn’t a saint 

We tried it with Kelvin Sampson... how did that turn out?

Scott gonna need a bigger hook

Hopefully this doesn’t mean his hook isn’t big enough and he is gonna miss out on the big one(s)…

I’ve not claimed to have any info or know it’s not Stevens.  Try again.

Betting isn’t knowing.  Try again.

Explain it to me.

If Beard or Wade were the best coaches available, why did they "didnt' hire" them to get Pope and Kelsey?

Well, Pope has been pretty good, but Kelsey has been great. Absolutely great, so obviously no regret there, but I get your point.

Anyone at the big ten tournament to confirm or deny the rumors that Brad is there?

[JSHoosier]

Can we stop talking about Brownell? I'm trying to pretend the IU decision makers have two brain cells to rub together, and the thought they'd hire him is getting in the way.

Problem is that's according to who?  All of this is conjecture.  

It's what the peegs crew say about McDermott. It's safe to say that while they don't have the best info, they're certainly more informed than Joe Schmoe on a message board.

Wouldn’t Wade’s show cause have been a bigger deal last cycle than this cycle? Could be a reason why neither hired him then. I agree neither is coming here, which is why we’ll likely be right back here 3-4 years from now. 

Maybe... but it doesn't change the material facts... Wade cheated, then lied to the investigators to try to cover it up and never showed any remorse... certainly demonstrated his questionable character.

Fwiw I’ve heard via a non-Peegs source we aren’t talking with him.

As I mentioned before, I can’t know for sure but we don’t seem to be talking with hardly anyone.  Sure makes it seem like we have someone already.  Fingers crossed.

While I find your outlook generally way too negative, this is spot on.

[Huntnfreak]

IU would rather portray themselves as elite instead of being elite! Just freaking hire a damn winner!!

I watched Ole Miss yesterday and they struggled getting to 50. It was like watching paint dry. 

The most absolutely maddening thing has been going through this season remembering that IU beat Tennessee in that Exhibition. For all the grousing about roster fit, that game showed that this team had the talent to play with anyone. It's been a question of consistency. Not totally connected, but I'm inclined to think that there are 20 coaches or more who could have gotten more out of this team this year.

I’ve seen his postings and his tone is neutral and comes across as we don’t know anything but this is what we think as outsiders , but in the business. Believe he’s definitely not trolling. And one can be a fan of an another while working for someone else.

This is exactly it. Just adding his insight as a person in an AD office but also is an alum of the university. I do not find it odd at all that other universities talk about coaching searches especially the higher profile ones.  Talking points from their perspective and possibly how they would approach it if it was their own opening or what candidates they would go after if they were in Dolson shoes.

A follow-up from the earlier coaching odds; the entire page appears to be down. Looks like the board blew the whole thing up!

I don't know, Pope was a UK alum and maybe they liked Kelsey more?  UofL maybe a little more gunshy than Kentucky, but you have no idea why they weren't hired.  Don't use your own personal bias and feelings to make things up.
