General Coach Candidate News

[Herotime 1,140]

Anyone still riding with Brad?

[ziggyiu 773]

Which is it?

Did IU start working back channels in Feb. and secretly land a coach? Or at least start back channels to narrow a pool of quality candidates that are ready to accept the job?

Or has IU done so little since early Feb. that they are just now engaging with candidates and having to fight Iowa for McCollum or Devries? 

I'd be shocked and saddened to learn if it's the latter.

Devries chatter is getting hotter on peegs at the moment

I’m just here to be part of the 2500 crew.  And to also say that, although I’m not part of the contingent that believes we will land BS, it is still worth pointing out that Alabama football were pretty much also-rans before Saban came onboard.  So, do I believe BS is coming? No.  Do I believe we still have blood that runs blue?  YES!

2500…finally. 
Now what’s the next goal lol

Uh oh. Stuhoo and USPS pushing Devries. Is he our guy? Certainly not a homerun hire but I suppose we could do worse.

West Virginia resources aren’t awful. He had a decent year there I suppose. Idk. Don’t love it. He’d have to really work.

That was sane and uplifting. AND on my 2500th page of some of the craziest sh7t I've ever read.  Thank you all. Now let's all try to manifest Jay Wright into existence.      Shalom

He seems to be a lead off double to me. We’re in scoring position with no outs.

Well FWIW @IUGRAD06 says he knows for a fact McCollum and Dolson have been in touch since January. 

It's possible (likely even) Dolson has been spending the last year + courting Stevens, Donovan, whoever big whales.

I think Dolson, to his credit, also probably realized he should not put all eggs in that basket and engaged coaches in other tiers. McCollum has been a rising star for years in CBB - by all accounts he is an impressive guy and just went 30-3 and won the MVC. 

It's possible as time went on Dolson's priorities/agenda evolved and if reports are to be believed, ramped up with McCollum. 

McCollum and DeVries supposedly covet the Iowa job. Both are good coaches. I'd be pleased with either.

A new coach that doesn’t disappoint over spring break would be nice (yes I’ve been keeping track since Kelvin Samson and IU always manages to ruin my SB beach vacations)!!
