With what I saw you posted from the Trilly board my assumption at least from the hints today is that Brads Daughter won out. Am I correct?

Just to clarify I did not post that message, it was sent to me and the person who sent it to me said it came from trilly server:)

I was not given a reason on the message that led me to believe Brad is out so I will refer to others:)

I have no idea on that one. I just don't like that he seems as comfortable as a pair of fur lined slippers at NW

I don’t think he’d leave NW for just any job - but the right job. I’m sure he feels like he’s taken NW to the ceiling.  Now with NIL - only going to be more challenging

Let’s be honest, if the only Hangul 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.

I think she will be a Junior.  Parenting is also considering what is best for the family.  It is not like BS needs any money.

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

I didn’t give that post much credence, but shared it just because it was on topic. I don’t know it to be wrong, either.

If this is true, then the coach isn’t currently coaching.

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?

Yes, because for the last month Dolson put the future of IU basketball and his career in the hands of a 16 year old girl

That’s some serious paranoia. Asking a guy who regularly communicates he works at IU in a pm ( not on the open forum) what he does at the university deserves a ban? Honestly just curious if you worked in or near the athletic department. If you are doing something that is frowned upon that has ZERO to do with me.

He said, take a seat

can’t convince me this isn’t Xavier Johnson 

Someone from Woodson's first 2 teams, Johnson would fit.

So by AD do they mean Scott Dolson, then associate AD Harper, and then the coach and his agent?  

I still think this is some out of left field candidate or, this is crazy because I will be shocked if it is him, Stevens.  There is enough cloak and dagger around this to support the latter though.  Wish their timeline to announce aligned with mine...lol.

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:)

I''m not sure that I've ever bought the "he had to know who his candidate was for sure when he fired Woody" argument. 

SHOULD he have have known who he was going after? Absolutely! The only person who didn't know that Woody was going to be gone after this year was Woody, QB, Ferg, and Woody's family. Anyone who has paid attention to the team and Woody's lack of coaching knew that buying him a roster wasn't really going to work and was a last gasp kind of move.

But, with that being said, Woody "retiring" mid-season didn't necessarily mean that Dolson had his man. I've never believed that argument. There were many other factors in play there.

Except there'd have to at least be a 5th right? Whitten?

As a divorced parent of 2, I understand the parenting side as far as what’s best for your family. But as my kids got older and ones in college and another will be next year, the decisions or jobs I would talk to changed, etc. If this is something he wants knowing she’s going to be in college in 1-2 years, I think you figure it out. Just sayin’

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

He also said this in passing in his very first video after the Woodson news broke a few weeks ago. Was curious if this might evolve if some other candidates dropped out. Perhaps not.

Honestly, let’s believe this for a few seconds, I take it away as a standstill.

I don't believe this.

And if it is true, how bad do you really want the job that you would let a teenager make the decision for you?

As a former military brat, sometimes you just don't get a choice. I remember more than once, my dad coming home and saying, "Sorry, kids. We're leaving in 3 months".

I wasn't saying Scott 100% had his guy when he made the move on woody. I have previously thought that but with me believing brad said no obviously that is not the case. This message was saying that you know who is available when you make the move. That was all.
