Another gear? What does he mean by that? 

It means if he’s good enough for Clemson, he’s good enough for IU (sad face)

A friend sent me this today. Supposedly a conversation between Brad and Thad Matta I in no way endorse this information, maybe someone has seen this on another site or it may be AI generated. But this is the clearinghouse for coach information, so here it goes. 

Are we to think the final decision has been made or is it still up for grabs?

[coonhounds]

If you only knew. 

Let me guess. Dolson had stevens locked up and has just been sitting on his hands waiting for the stevens announcement. Stevens let him know yesterday the deal is off because his daughter doesn't want to move. Now we are scrambling! Is this close?

He was talking about Chris Collins at NW when using that language, not Brad Brownell.

He did mention that Brownell was considered widely as a solid up and comer when he was at Wright State before moving to Clemson and implied that "if Tom Crean" (Sorry @realTomCrean) didn't work out back then, Brownell would've been someone (was?) looked at hard...

Zach reporting on the live that Chris Beard likely isn’t a candidate. Threw in Will Wade in that convo as well.

My 1st guess would be that CC seems to be content with what he's doing at a nice safe job like Northwestern. You put him at IU and the heat gets turned up 100x. Doubtful he's looking for that

But didn't he feel he was snubbed to be Coach K's heir apparent and one of the reasons he left Duke?   Heat at Duke following K couldn't be that much different than heat at IU following Woodson.

Let’s be honest, if the only hangup to this was his daughter not wanting to move and he wanted the job it’s pretty easy. He forces her hand which is called parenting or he says fine, we’ll make it work. It’s short term, she’s going to be a senior so they do a long term fix for 8-10 months. Done.

Oh come on man, now we're back to Cronin?

Tom Crean 2011-2017: 

138-69 W/L 

63-45 B1G record 

2x Conference champ 

3x S16, 4x Tourney appearances 

Notably his last season 2016-2017 OG tore his ACL and was out for the year. IU was 10-3  before his injury. 
 

I’m not over 40 so this stretch seems pretty tolerable comparatively toward what has followed. This should be the baseline, many coaches, like Devries do not have the history that can achieve this level of success

I think he realized Coach K wasn't going to retire anytime soon and he didn't want to wait any longer for a head coaching gig so he took the NW job.

Zach reporting a left field candidate is possible, but the search has been very tight lipped. He says it reminds him of the 2006 search. There were several names being thrown around at the time and then Kelvin Sampson came out of no where to obtain the job. 

[GP711]

I myself am trust Scott that he will have a big name hire. He knows his job is on the line iu is back here in 4 years. this is his legacy hire. Whether is stevens or not he has the opportunity you hire a great coach. You know who's available before moving on from Woodson. Obviously woody was gone anyway but you still know who's out there before you do it. I have nothing rn but will return when i do:)

Wow quite an assumption considering you don't even know him at all. I dont like to assume things about people I don't know but you clearly do. I don't think you would be to open minded on a jury. Too much bias for sure.

Have a feeling we're going to look back and regret not seriously considering Wade. The IU admin is a bunch of boy scouts.
