General Coach Candidate News

[HoosierFan1994 5,142]

Those that have been around on boards longer than me (Was only on for the 2021 search): is this the most quiet things have been from IU's side? Thinking back to the Sampson, Crean, and Miller searches.

Is it possible that athywithaCK (I don't want to actually say her name to accidentally draw her/him out) is actually Zach? The man is talking a lot about process here...

Nope, because he ended a sentence in a preposition on his last tweet.  K(C)athy, the grammar nazi, would never do that!

To add some context: Osterman is Dolson's guy. If Osterman is saying this, it's coming directly from the AD.

I think we can be confident DeVries is out.

and he left no room to decipher the wording.... "I'm confident in the belief anything on the wind today is coming from somewhere else"

Help me with these:

1) Does IU part ways with Woodson mid season to pursue a Devries?

2) If we are at the Devries level, don’t we wait to announce after tournament so we can potentially fully vet comparable candidates in tourney??

3) If only 4 people know as previously claimed, any possibility the whale is Jay Wright and he announces real himself on CBS opening night tonight ? 

1. YES

2. NO

3. NO

Seriously, I really think it must be DeVries....and if so, I support it 100%

I repeatedly said I'd believe Stevens when I saw it, but whatever.

I am curious what other big fish hire you think we were getting?  Repeating what the other poster said...if you paid attention to UK/UL searches this shouldn't be unexpected or different IMO.  Now if we did get someone big great for Dolson but I don't expect it nor will I be disappointed when it doesn't happen.

“Breaking News:  IU has hired Doug Gottlieb as Head Coach.  He is bringing along with him Chris Beard as GM.”

Mark Turgeon will be his lead recruiter and Brad Brownell was hired to mop up the sweat during time outs.

No doubt about it.

May have to get an IU Vineyard Vines polo at some point

I don’t know anything about DD. I can say without a doubt he will not win the press conference and will not unite the fan base. He will get a chance, but I don’t think he will have as long of a rope as even Woodson or Archie. Woodson absolutely divided this fanbase worse then it ever has been with his true fan comments.

Would suggest Devries or, what I think more likely, “mystery candidate”. Unless Osterman was a….. smoke screen. (Dun dun dunnnnnnnnn)

[JustWinBaby 1,779]

*Sigh* alright fire up the Brad memes again boys...

Sounds like the right timing based on what I heard from the brother-in-law. Now....we just watch what is coming out of Clark County Airport tomorrow morning.

Oh no! Dooms day for AH and Alford Bailey! There literally are no more mediocre candidates left to root for to get this job. Your worst nightmare might be coming in that insiders might have actually had real information....

The hell?

I guess it's an ideal situation for agents.  Big name program with an opening, the regular season is done, and that program is saying -nothing-.  You can allege (lie) that your client is in talks with them with no pushback.

I would've gone after Wade before giving Devries the time of day.

That's not what I think he is saying....he saying DeVries leaked out but it's not from IU!

Zach confirmed that. This is all smoke from agents and fans and media.
