General Coach Candidate News

[Hoosier Roots 781]

I just cant see BB being the end result of this coaching search. 
 

First, the political capital spent to force out a former star player held in high regard by the university had to have been massive. There’s no way we do that to hire someone who is not a clear upgrade what so ever. 
 

Second, the fan reaction is going to be awful. All the air is going to be sucked out of the program before he would even get on campus. We would be back to paying millions to have above average teams at best, if the NIL is even still there. 
 

This would be a disaster.

I think when the new coach is named, unless it’s one or two guys, I’ll stay off this board until the doom and gloom negative woe -is-me end of the world IU basketball is a loser talk subsides. A ( small) portion of this board will not be happy with anyone hired.

Nah you will still be here.  But nice try

"Dolson got his home run!"

 

Dude, I'm wearing a scar on my right eyebrow from home run derby with a mini ball. The physics is real on that one.

I will say that many people heard that there was a signing yesterday. Several people heard it was it was a home run. Meaning not Brownell or McCollum. Was told they could announce it as early as Monday if iwe don’t make the tournament. I don’t think would happen if it was a current coach. Can a current coach sign a contract? I’m done for the day. Go Hoosiers!! Who am I kidding I’ll be back later.

If only this could have been mentioned this morning...though I understand it's not really Chris's responsibility to do so...thanks, @Chris007

I’ll bite….based on what exactly?

He has coached 3 different schools in a small amount of time and has gotten each to the ncaa tourney.   First coach to beat a 1 seed as a 16 seed.  Still young.   Virginias  top choice and they have been more nationally relevant then IU.  If he is good enough for them IU should be lucky to have him as coach

This board is becoming Peegs lite really quick with the doom and gloom. Pull yourselves together. Lock it up!

Dolson is getting desperate...

It's plausible Dolson wants Beard or Wade but his hands are tied...or maybe he still delivers one of them. We don't know for sure....but I'll tell you what...it's no fun seeing schools like Iowa, NC State, Villanova, --hell, even Minnesota have better coaching candidate lists than us.

The insiders are here guys. We can chill. If there was a signing, then it wasn’t a current coach. Simple as that.

Nah, I’ll stay away a couple days. All the negativity gets old.

That’s what I was saying earlier. Can there be an agreement in principle?  Sure. But a done deal, as in a signed contract?  I don’t see how that happens, particularly if there are buyouts involved. But, as I’ve stated, I’m not in the industry. 

[EasyEJay 615]

Ben McCollum or DeVries are not a home run hires or even a good ones of Will Wade out there and wants the job (hell even Rabby heard his people reached out) 

I refuse to truly believe Brownell is the hire unless Dolson got interfered with again but I can’t imagine who the hell in the AD likes Brownell that much

The problem is that people say "the Stevens rumors are stupid, and you have to be gullible to believe them." The same people believe the BB rumors as gospel. The same people say "no one knows anything." I'm sorry but three stances are too many....can you all be more consistent in your stance?

Brownell fits with how this program has been run the last 25 years.

McCollum isn't the home run, he's the walk off 9th inning grand slam. So if your info is correct, we settled for something less.
