General Coach Candidate News

[IUBtown]

Was skeptical of McCollum initially but I like all the things I'm hearing.  Character/toughness of a kid being important, adjusting your style and approach to your team and not trying to fit your players into your style.  Iowa takes someone other than McCollum and I think he's our guy and I'm fine with that.  If it works out identifing a guy who fits what you want no matter his name or where he's at is a move that big time people make.

Does this relate back to the flight info from yesterday?

I’m hoping the answer is something like, “Does the pope wear a tall hat?”

Just for clarity, I pimped Coach Cig pretty early on during the discussions in the thread. He was a pipe dream at that point, because you know, the misery of being an IUFB faithful was a strong and deep darkness that warshed over us. Darker n' a black steer's tookus on a moonless prairie night. There was no bottom. 

For me with that hire, it was about finding an established coach that had program building success and would leave the program in good shape for the next hire. Someone that had experience of taking a losing program and turning it around quickly.  Not in my wildest dreams did I ever think IUFB would be playing in the CFP on year one, or ever for that matter. But man, I've completely changed on that kind of thinking. Us IUFB faithful should always be thinking CFP Natty. Always. 
 

 

I became convinced after you mentioned him.  Seemed to be one of the best candidates available and hoped due to his age we could get him while others passed.

Hey there fellas! I owe everyone an apology. I guaranteed a tourney appearance in this thread and that didn't happen.

Ole Quinn is sorry to have gotten your hopes up. 

Go Hoosiers (Next year) !

Osterman basically saying he’s been told a half dozen names. But Dolson’s circle is so small this time around that no one knows.

 

 

If it’s anything like last time, even Dolson doesn’t know who it is

I’ve sort of convinced myself the guy Dolson has been pursuing since January is McCollum. Sounds like it’s known he’s wanted Iowa and it’s a fact he’s selective about changing schools. Hopefully Dolson has been working him and able to close him. Still think the Goodman tweet was instigated by McCollum likely so he can get best and final offers from both schools then choose this week… JMO

He started talking with McCollum in January.  I know that’s a fact.

For the record you're the only person I've tried to ignore, infuriating to find in mobile.  But this username isn't funny nor entertaining it's mostly annoying and takes up space.  You should stop wasting your time.

Does it seem like that will happen again, after hiring Cignetti?

I actually can't see that. Have spent more time than ever in my life on Teterboro's Flight Aware Page...

You can't drop something like that without a bit more context.

I can't believe people still fall for the bait of these chronic attention seekers.

Trying to reconcile Jerry saying no one knows + saying the lid will be lifted later this week (which insinuates we’ll know and they’re not currently coaching) with GP now knowing and it’s bad.  
 

Collins?

Jerry is a long time poster with direct connections to IU (employee?).  GP is some anonymous newcomer who hasn't established any credibility.  Make of that what you want.

Dakich at the end plugs that IU/Dolson would be lucky to have him…BM hits him with the “oh boy” and they wrap up after that. 
 

BM seems like a unicorn. He’s not leaving Drake for money or to move up a level. Has to be the right fit for him and his family. 
Damn, I really want this guy—even more I want him to want us because I think that says a lot about our program.

I don’t know about his answer at the end.  Said he has loyalty to his players and money isn’t everything.  I don’t know if it say that if I’m moving on. Unless he can just bring the whole team that is
