General Coach Candidate News

If Indiana hires Brad Brownell then they deserve to be buried forever

[hoosierpatriot22 16]

Hello! Long time inactive member, first time poster. Here I am, 2373 pages deep in a coaching hire forum, reading about the nuclear meltdown implications of Brad Brownell, while I nearly put myself into a panic attack watching Dusty May coach Michigan in the B1G title game. What a great day for my mental health!! Hoosier 4 life!

I’m still being told it’s Ben.  Which is way better than BB.  

The psy-op worked on me. Because of the Brownell threat I am now thrilled about this possibility.

“Hey guys, make sure you stay in Bloomington for Spring Break this next week. Our NIL contributions will be through the roof with all the excitement about Brad Brownell being hired!”

Honest question: I may have missed it, but I can’t find anything on X about Thamel listing Ben, Brad B, and Devries as top candidates for our job (edit: I get he did this on ESPN).  I would think there would be a lot more tweets about this.  Was there other context?

If those are the options my order would be::

1. Devries
2. McGollum
3. Not Brownell

Mccollum is not at all a home run hire. But I'm thinking some think he is

Some seem to think that young automatically means home run, to be fair. McCollum is only a homerun compared to Brownell.

Not a home run but a decent sacrifice fly at least. 

He would be like a guy that runs a great Putt Putt  course getting Hired to Run Crooked Stick

Just an absolute ******* disaster.  I need Clemson to lock him in with an extension immediately.  I'm not one for bullying, but it might be time to start cyber bullying Scott Dolson before this goes any further.

We will have to pay a pretty penny for Brownell too.

It’s a risk sure. But it’s a risk on a guy who has been a head coach since he was 28 and still doesn’t have 100 losses as a HC. He hasn’t lost more than 9 games in 13 years. He hasn’t lost more than 5 in a decade. All the guy does is win. No reason to think that stops because it’s a bigger program. That’s just nonsense. 
 

That being said, I’d guess he’s Iowa bound.

I do find it hard to believe we would force Woodson out and then go get someone like Brownell or Devries.
