General Coach Candidate News

Just an FYI, any coach who has done well in the transfer market to build teams probably won't do as well at IU.  We struggle to land the best of the best transfers for some reason..

Would Love to know what was going through Dolson mind as he was walking with them. Is he made at the state of the program creating that reaction or is he more frustrated that fans could act that way.  He is, after all, part of that team 

If he's more upset at the fans than the state of the program that caused it, he's part of the problem.

We need someone that can bring in solid transfers. It’s a very important part of recruiting and coaching today. Transfers have been key on a lot of good teams. Just because Indiana hasn’t had many good ones under Archie doesn’t mean we can’t do it at IU. 
knight took on plenty of transfers

I would think whoever is here next year needs to bring in several transfers. We have open scholarships

I mention this name, not because I’m interested in us hiring. But simply just one to keep an eye on. Michael Boynton Jr at Okla St. 1st head coaching gig and into his 4th season. I don’t think he started at his job with a whole lot on the roster. Considering the whole FBI thing, recruiting is gaining momentum as well. And lastly, he’s only 39.

Only makes a mil per year, for now.

He pulled in Cade Cunningham and that team is rolling right now. Lots of confidence. Even won the game without Cunningham playing.

I’m not sure what to think. People here and on a couple other forums are hearing he’s gone, but Brian snow on Peegs is saying there’s no buzz at all about him being fired in the athletic department. If that’s true I’ll lose my mind lol

That’s not even possible. Maybe it’s not certain that he will be fired but it is absolutely a topic whether openly being discussed or behind closed doors, it’s just too important and topical for there not to be buzz in the AD dept about it

Last time IU missed the postseason entirely BEFORE Miller’s first year, 2014, we got a short Glass quote after selections: https://www.insidethehall.com/2014/03/16/indiana-left-out-of-nit-field/

I doubt we hear anything formally this weekend. But a statement or a decision publicly Monday seems a reasonable assumption.

If that was coming from any of the other people on that site I would believe it in a heartbeat. Coming from Snow though I take everything that he says with a grain of salt.

That’s what I would think but he said he’s “very confident” nothing is moving as if he is going to be fired and the general feeling in the coaching world/AD is that his job is safe right now. What the actual hell?!

Yeah to me this was all carefully worded. “No buzz in the dept.” might also be taken to mean Dolson is running a leak-free operation (good).

I would think that too but he said usually there is movement when a coaching change is coming and there’s no movement right now. Again, maybe he’s full of ****. He’s just weirdly confident about it so idk I’m just concerned I guess lol

His source is probably Archie or Sean Miller. His relationship with the Miller’s goes back to Sean coaching at Xavier and Snow being around that program. So take it with a grain of salt since his story will be coming from their camp.

He said he hasn’t spoken to Archie since before the pandemic. Could be a lie but that’s what he said

My apologies if this has already been mentioned, but I can't get over how bad it looks that the state of Indiana is hosting the entire NCAA tournament and we are not even going to be f*cking playing.

C'mon Dolson, this ain't rocket science...

That could be his source, not sure. He obviously didn’t give any hints other than saying it was not Archie that he’s hearing from and that he could care less about making Archie feel better by reporting that he’s not going anywhere. He’s getting crucified by fans on the board lol it’s obviously not what ANY of us want to hear

It deserves to be stated over and over again. IU isn’t in the NCAA tournament that’s being held entirely in the state! The flagship school in the state of Indiana isn’t able to participate because they weren’t one of the best 68 teams in the country. That’s embarrassing beyond comprehension
