I wish people would hold someone like @Stuhoo accountable like they do us when he guarantees it’s not Stevens. I haven’t guaranteed a single coach yet. 

So you’re holding fast on the hire being a HR & you can confidently say it’s not Brownell?

Fife giving the thumbs up probably did it for me…..

I also wanted to believe that the BS (pun intended) hire was happening.
After the initial jolt of happiness I questioned if the guy running the Celtics actually wants to spend a ton of hours watching high school guys playing in small time gyms.  It would a great hire but I don’t see it.

I pray we look back at this last hour or so of the coaching search and say "we actually thought it would be Brownell. We're a bunch of f'ing morons"

If this was Dolsons “we got our guy” all along, someone needs an intervention…..I guess Dolson wanted to know what it feels like to be booed…..

If I’m Brad Brownell, do I even want this job?

He’s at a place that’s happy enough to keep him employed for mediocre results. Guy has to be self-aware enough to see that he could be fired in 3/4 years at IU

If he's got family in the 812 then yes, he probably would want the job.

We will be told that he has grown as a coach and we should look at the last two years as proof.  

Before he goes about .500 in conference and misses the tournament more often than not.

[SlammySammy 1,594]

What would inspire donors to throw millions down the shitter at this guy? Let me guess…heckle them with not being true IU fans?

[KYHoosier 400]

Bringing back Woodson for a 4th year and not hiring Dusty May will go down as an all time bad move by this program. Completely inexcusable

To be fair, he also endorsed Mike Davis.

Stuhoo didn't guarantee it's not stevens. He said he has credible information saying it's probably not. We have bigger fish to fry now that we are getting brownwell.

Woodson makes the tourney more often than Brownell. But it’s not going to be Brownell.

Time for a “Tennessee football fan” like response to Dolson……..

All the logic is with Bozich here as much as we don’t like to hear it.

Literally he was the worst name linked to this job from the start.  Why on earth would we hire this guy when we could have easily hired Cronin instead.

[JimmerNoe 1,035]

It would be really surprising if Dolson wasn’t able to take the temperature on someone like Brownell and made that hire. I mean there is literally no one out there touting him as a good coach, no one looking at him for other jobs, and anytime his name is mentioned anywhere, it’s met with disgust.

Would be incredibly tone deaf.

Everything they've done since Davis has resulted in nothing but mediocrity. Hiring Brad Brownell is on brand. 

[JPCIVOP 622]

The situation I'm currently hoping for, in video form. Character shift is as follows.

Texas Fans -> IU Fans

Sark -> Scott Dolson

Arizona State -> Brad Brownell

Quinn Ewers -> Brad Stevens OR Billy D

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich 9,162]

Tyme says Brad.
