No, he’s not the most likely hire.  Dolson didn’t get rid of Woodson to hire Brownell.

A well run program doesn't, a well run program doesn't hire Woodson to begin with. IU is not a well run program so it's certainly possible.

I continue to have a significant issue with the idea that a done deal has been completed with a coach currently under contract and coaching another team. I think it’s completely unrealistic for several reasons. 

Are you aware this happens all the time and contracts are made with contingencies for when it does?

That’s what I’m asking someone right now because my idea of a home run and others is way different 

In what world is a HR worth more than 1 run, aside from having men on base

Well, I mean, Dolson DID hire Woodson. 

And gave him a 4th year, so...

I love how most of us, including myself respect, believe and appreciate posters like ap, Chris, RTZ, Jerry, GP and BehindTheBench (sorry if I’ve missed a few)…..

…but, until one of those guys or a few of them have heard something different, flipped or changed tunes, my money is on Stevens or someone worthy of a HR or Grand Slam!!!!!

Brownell or McCullum definitely doesn’t fit into one of those categories! JMO

You have really surprised me with how you have acted today. I thought we were all IU fans.

We are. I’d be thrilled if it were him. I am not saying it’s 0% chance it’s Stevens because you have been right before about things… but I don’t think anybody except Dolson and a very small number of people know for sure. GP literally has no track record here then called someone brain dead for questioning him... Since then all he does is post weird smiley faces. And posting all those white smoke gifs this morning but not being able to say who it is, but we know it’s done and they’re really great, just doesn’t make much sense… seems like people getting set up to disappoint themselves again. To each their own, would love to be wrong. In the event we do sign Stevens, I still don’t think GP or behind the bench know a single thing and are doing anything but having fun playing pretend.

Did I say a name this morning? I’m just saying that there’s 2-3 names floating around about who the final name was.

What are the names being floated around...

People are really bringing out the feelings today.

You are correct, but you spelled his name wrong. It's Quinn Buckner, two n's.

That remains to be seen.  Dolson can rectify that entire narrative with this hire.  I don’t blame him for Woodson because he was handcuffed.  This hire will tell us all we need to know about Dolson.  I still don’t see any chance of it being Brownell.

You could probably find a dozen “you don’t pay $10 million to fire Archie to hire Mike Woodson” posts in this very thread from March 2021. Yet that’s exactly what IU did. Just think about whatever decision a well-run program would make and then take the opposite of that if you want to figure out IU’s next move.

I believe we have our guy, and a deal is signed. I honestly don't know who it is, but was told 'we have our coach'. If I had to guess at this specific hour I would guess McCollum but that is a legit guess on my end. would guess we will all know the name officially or see the 'zeroing in on' tweets in the next few days

How would we have a deal in place now with a current college coach?

Will that be before or after we find out that we didn't make the field

Let’s hope not because that would be the most underwhelming hire we could make.

Well, I think we can safely say you wouldn’t get someone considering Brownell a home run, right? Lol

[IU05]

Pretty sure RTZ ain’t gonna be humpin everything in sight for Brownell
