General Coach Candidate News

[MemphisHoosier 2,278]

Mentally I am preparing for CAM to be the coach next year, bring in a small army of transfers and for the team to finish b/w 7th-11th in the B1G.  There are millions (!) of reasons to support this deep seeded fear - please prove me wrong Scott.

I think either Alford or Dolson one of them said on a podcast that they wouldn't want to put the other in that position since they're good friends. No one wants to fire their best friend. It makes things awkward 

I would think if anything it's more likely at this point that Dolson might be unofficially consulting w/ Alford regarding Steve's opinion of some other coaches he's coached against, and how they might fare at IU

Hey,  this coaching search is gonna be a cake walk for Dolson. All the top candidates will be in town for a couple weeks!

Does a blowout loss move the needle more than a mildly competitive one tomorrow night?

I doubt it moved the needle, because my guess was Dolson was already planning to Do It, but a real stinker like tonight sure makes you feel good about your decision if you’d made up your mind.

How are we going to track planes if everyone is already here????

It'll suck when they bring him back.

If there are big $ boosters who were on the fence this could help them over the edge.

Yes, meant to mention that.

What’s bothered me most is the feel of this game is that Indiana was the little guy with nothing to lose and Rutgers was they way better team caught off guard, off their game, who pulls it out in the end. 

what bothered me was 1) the way Rutgers laughed at IU in their last game and 2) IU's lack of response tonight to that previous treatment.

I agree with you on the in-game results probably not mattering to the admin, but do you see the fan reaction in the arena as moving the needle a bit or at least changing the tone for SD?

I feel like I’m being punked. Waiting for Ashton Kutcher to show up.

I’m waiting for brad.

The only thing that I feel good about is that at the time he was announced, I called the Archie Miller Hire a major disappointment. My exact word were I feel like I’ve just been kicked in the nuts! Well, I still feel that way 4 seasons later.

TBH, I want no part of Scott Drew. Just seems to be something sorta sleazy about him. 

But as I've written before, I thought Crean and Archie were good hires and thought Allen and Moren were bad hires -- so what the hell do I know?

I can't help but wonder, though: Dolson is reportedly pretty tight with RMK, who I believe butted heads with Drew when RMK was at Texas Tech. Plus, there's the Hanner Perea incident. Those seem to be two pretty big strikes against Drew.

I honestly think that Matta, Beliein, Drew, Musselman are all people that would take the job if offered and the pay was a raise. But before you get to those guys you have to make Brad say no multiple times. If we knocked on his door last time he didn't answer, I don't think that's been the case this time. 

If these are the four, who do we choose B'Town?

[Ryno6284 3,750]

I'm going Belein!

Any of them would have won tonight. There should be a clause in the contract that if you lose to Rutgers 3 times then you don’t have to pay the buyout

IIRC, RMK also had some conflicts w/ Musselman's father Bill (RIP) when  he coached at Minny

Hopefully the next coach can manage to go better than 2-22 against Purdue, OSU, UM, and Wisky and not lose 6 of 7 to powerhouses like Rutgers. I know it's a tall task
