I have been fixing plumbing issues today and haven't able to keep up with what has being posted. Is Stevens out of the picture, and if so who is the rumored new coach.

Thank you in advance if someone brings me up to date. 

The current coach of the day is Darian Devries

[P92 547]

This just doesn’t jive with a contract has already been signed, which coaching changes said was from an unimpeachable source.

Again over the last month, the story honestly hasn't changed. It's either:

A. Dolson has been prepared and working behind the scenes and got a (the) white whale. OR

B. IU is in a really bad spot and we're vetting our 9th choice after 9 "no's"

 

If it is B... I think we should revisit Will Wade / Chris Beard

I had never even heard of that guy until today.

Think Jay Wright will be able to coach IU and comment on the tourney? Or will we have to wait until the tourney is over for him to start coaching?

Drake Coach for a few years before going to WVU, was originally an Creighton Assistant

Could we potentially be doing our next coach (McDermott) a solid by getting one of his assistants a little pay bump?

Just a tinfoil hat theory to throw out on page 2504 of this thread.

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.

I've been on the DeVries bandwagon for a while... as a solid guy with a huge upside... I wasn't ready to "settle" for him at IU yet... and have been pretty warm to McCollum if none of the "big fish" are biting... 

Between the two, I'd prefer McCollum, but I think DeVries would do well here with the NIL and the fan base.

Usually legit, but sometime in the wrong since there are multiple people behind that account

If it’s Brad Stevens why wasn’t it announced today? 
It’s definitely somebody still coaching

I’m not saying it is Brad, but there is plenty of reasons it isn’t being announced today.
 

1. The new coach could be notifying their current employer today. 

2. IU could want to wait to announce on Wednesday or Thursday morning to ensure we are a big topic of conversation during the first round of the tournament. 

3. The new coach may have still needed to tell their children about the change they are about to make. 

4. Final paperwork may have still needed to be signed and or money moved to make it all official. 
 

There is 4 reasons off the top of my head. I know we all want to know who the new coach is, but I’m not surprised it didn’t come out today. I think if the tourney starts and we haven’t heard anything, it is a coach of a tournament team. Until then, it could be anyone.

What is this nonsense? Making woody some martyr even though he sucked. I guess i am a troll thankful I’ll never have to watch him coach again. You were a hell of player TJD and woody owes you all the money he’s gotten the last 4 years

[Helgo 60]

With the Iowa or IU job being more attractive to Devries / McCollum, keep in mind that decisions aren’t purely about money and NIL. Sometimes fit and emotion are bigger determinants. Both those guys are from Iowa. Just a thought

Giving the exiting coaching staff a day to clean out their offices without the noise would be another reason.
