I don’t think Brownell is the right move whatsoever. I think his ceiling at IU is the same as Crean’s was. Maybe a smidge lower. Hope that isn’t the case that we get him.

If we end up with Brownell.....I mean my God. 

Will Wade wants the job (rumored). Why on earth would we hire Brad Brownell? We're not a serious program if this happens.

@KathywithaC was Brownell your idea of a good hire?

Well, Pete Thamel went on ESPN this morning and reported it’s down to Ben, Brownell, and WVU coach. 

Espn is not what it once was.


Ita honestly a shell of its former self (outside of its SEC asskissing
)

Oh if we did hire Brownell some here would gaslight themselves into thinking it has a chance. Same thing happened with Woodson.

Sure.

I fell into the Woodson justification after initial disappointment.  But my enthusiasm for the program has dropped so far that I need to feel confident in the choice - not just hopeful or willing to wait and see.  It's sad, but until officially kicked in the nutz, I remain optimistic that this will be the redemption.

We have a couple of candidates who want the IU job and who a lot believe would win big here…the question is, will we bypass them to hire someone a lot more uncertain…it certainly would be the Indiana thing to do.

It’s just his agent working for his client. Prior to the last two weeks, could anyone here name the Clemson head coach? I know I couldn’t.

What has IU done to make you think this is a serious program?

Bozich admitted it was a wide net he was hearing and using that to guess (more educated then most) . But his data is stale according to what we've heard since. Not buying Brownell....

Looks like Hawkeyes moved quickly so they can secure Ben McCollum on Drake. Another reason I had Brad Brownell first on my #IUBB list this morning.

lol…so true….

If he is hired then don't watch if you think it will be a disaster. I will root for whoever is hired until proven otherwise. We have no idea how any coach will do until they actually play games. We could hire any top coach and it isn't a guarantee he will have the success our fans want.

I’ve said it before, you don’t hire Brownell after firing Woodson. If you’re Dolson, you need an idea of who is available when firing a coach. 
 

If Brownell was the guy, the Fire Scott Dolson thread will be very active. 

And not just here on BTB

I would take Dusty over these three.  It better not be Brownell!

You're absolutely right. We handed out Sweet 16 rings for crying out loud. 

[Hornsby]

You keep saying this. What are the past hires in which we've chosen a mediocre proven coach over a good coach with issues?
Obviously you had to be in favor of the Sampson hire if this is your view. 

Being pure as the driven snow is how you end up doing a new search every four years. Programs like st johns want to win, not be on moral high horses
