I’m not grouchy.  I answered the poster’s question honestly, & imo correctly, otherwise why would people be talking about Tommy Lloyd?

This search has been amazingly quiet and it seems Scott may have someone already.  But aside from Brad I have no idea who it may be.  I made a guess Tommy could be a surprise candidate in some post a few pages back.  Other people have brought him up too the past month or so.  sirhoosierlot made a great connection to a RTZ gif which was great, but probably not was RTZ meant by the gif.

Sadly, Tommy Lloyd has a big ol buyout:

Nice find to get his actual extension document.  $9M... if there is a will there could be a way.

So if Indiana doesn’t make the tournament tomorrow, then we should get an announcement if it is Brad, and if not, it must be a coach that is still coaching I assume?

Yes, likely a Monday - Wednesday announcement if it’s Brad.

But, I guess The Crown tournament could interfere. I’m sure schools could just pay a fee to not play in it. Pointless for Indiana to play in anymore games at this point, we know what the game will look like.

I think the idea is when the writers were deciding how to end the show, they only had one ending in mind and stuck to that one idea for the whole 9 year run of the show.
 

Analogous to SD always wanting Brad and now getting him I guess.

I hope I didn’t lead you to believe I was being critical of your post, my man.  I appreciate your posts & speculation along with the rest of us that don’t yet know who the coach is.  My apologies if I came across as such to you…

The clip also says the writers never considered other endings.

Rabby posted that he believe Brownell is probably taking the extension at Clemson according to a source.  Says it's a good offer.

I’d personally throw money in his contract for him to NOT coach Indiana.

Why would we do that if the new coach has to start assembling a team and get ready for the portal?

She said one thing before the finale aired because she signed an NDA, the finale aired and then something else happened. Duh!

I'm guessing Scott wanted Brad when Crean was here 10 YEARS AGO. Some of us did as well!

I don’t see how they can wait until April to announce the hire.  The new coach can only do so much in incognito mode before perspective players will want to know who the coach is going to be.

Someone posted in here last night that it’s a requirement for teams that didn’t make the tournament to play in it. Not sure how accurate that is. I find it completely stupid. No one wants to play in a losers tournament now that the portal is here.

Not that others aren’t more connected here, but if you all recall in Feb. 2017 that I was privy to some inside info about the IUAD starting to move the wheels in dismissing Crean and that it would happen after the season ended…that same contact/booster gave me the “big wink” this afternoon. Instead of undertaker gifs I’ll code speak in how NDAs work through the How I Met Your Mother finale speculation…(start at 28 seconds, interested). I can be a bit more candid than others because this contact’s job/influence isn’t at stake.

How long were you sitting on this, thinking and re-thinking, before you hit send?

I thought Zona was struggling with funds?!

Yes, the whole university is, not just the athletic department.  There was a miscalculation in their financials that left them with a huge deficit.

[IU5355 957]

Trying to play catchup. Looks like Brownell may be signing an extension, thank God!

We went from brad to Tommy Lloyd rather quickly lol

Miss anything else?
