Papacap Posted March 16 Posted March 16 Just now, Home Jersey said: People keep saying this. Doesn’t make any sense to me. One thing has nothing to do with the other… Sure it does. Do you think Dolson got rid of Woodson without having candidates in mind? If you agree with that, then you really think Brownell was in the top group of candidates? Either Dolson went through a bunch of guys who said no (which I doubt) or he wanted Brownell (which I doubt).
Alford Bailey Posted March 16 Posted March 16 4 minutes ago, Papacap said: Actually, the logic is against him. It’s not that Brownell is a bad coach. It’s that he has had a long career and nothing in it shows he is ready for IU. If he wasn’t from Indiana, no way he’d be in the discussion. So, if it ends up being Brownell, it’s against all basketball logic. And I just don’t think Dolson will make such a bad hire. There’s a reason why Brownell is the most hated name being discussed. I’m not saying Dolson should crowd source this hire. But you don’t get rid of Woodson to hire Brownell. When you start hearing rumblings from legit media you know it’s close.

The fact people mention “he’s from Indiana” as like that’s a prerequisite never made sense to me. You are 100% right, this is what got us in trouble with this current hire so why would you even entertain it again? jonz44 and Hoosierfan2017 2

Popular Post WayneFleekHoosier Posted March 16 Popular Post Posted March 16 Tyme (AH) knows his stuff. I don’t care for the guy but he knows. Bozich is confirming it. Dane Fife is endorsing it. Holy crap. If it happens that way I’ve freed up a bunch of spare time because I will treat basketball like I used to treat IU football. Let the results speak for themselves. Show up mostly for games. Fair weather fan myself. ZERO, absolutely zero excitement in this hire. The only “potential” hire I dislike more than McCollum. lol. We are cooked either way. Guy can’t win his conference barely can make tournaments. If at all. We had mediocre covered with Mike. Lol Hoosierfan2017, AZ Hoosier, Alford Bailey and 13 others 15 1

One thing has nothing to do with the other… Yeah… What if the current P5 guys are all happy enough where they are? McCollum might prefer to stay at Drake if he doesn’t get the Iowa job. Those not coaching may have never been realistic options. Leaves us with Brownell (if he’s interested) and then the next rung of mid-major guys. Home Jersey 1

To understand their mindset you have to think like IU. They believe the only reason Woody failed is because he didn't have college experience. Brownell has that. So in their mind he's a sure thing when he is anything but. skhoosier2, Alford Bailey, IU Faithful and 1 other 3 1

BB has had two great seasons back to back. That will be the pitch. Not sayin it’s Brownell but I’m leaning that way Home Jersey 1

pumpfake Posted March 16 Posted March 16 9 minutes ago, JF87 said: Yes, McCollum is a risk. Brownell= mediocre and adequate. We know his ceiling. McCollum= possible boom or bust. He ceiling is unknown, but many speculate it could be very high. And we shouldn't be down to those choices...

If Dolson doesn’t gauge the pulse of the fans, that’s on him. I don’t know a single person who wants Brownell. Again, I’m not saying it should be put to a vote. But if it’s that bad, I have to believe Dolson knows that too. But I don’t think it’s Brownell so not worried about. thebigweave 1

Leaves us with Brownell (if he’s interested) and then the next rung of mid-major guys. I don't really buy this thought process. Especially for a mid major guy. IU will offer a lot more money and resources than your current school. Most people will not turn down that kind of opportunity in their professional career

Sandman Posted March 16 Posted March 16 It can't be Brownell because his record in conference at Clemson is just over .500, and Beard haters said that's unacceptable.
