Except for Beard, I like this list. The order of the top 4 really works for me.

I don’t disagree and if we can’t pull a proven P5 winner then I hope McCollum is the guy.

The guy is a winner, but he’s beaten nobody. I think there is a parallel with Cig, but Cig had to play some better teams. McCollum has beaten nobody, ever, and walked into a great situation at Drake. Even with his “D2” players. I’d be happy with him, but i think some people are being blinded by the record. This will be a hot take, but McCollum at the D1 level reminds me of Archie. *Ducks*

Takes over a program that wins, continues to win, gets promoted. He makes a run in March and McCollum is gonna have the same heat Archie did.

I like him, surprised he hasn’t come up, but I have read in a couple places he may be waiting for Gonzaga once Few is done. 

Lloyd would be better served to stay at Arizona.

True, but Gonzaga is a cult. I was born in Spokane. Lloyd was there for two decades and is from WA.

Any thoughts on Tommy Lloyd?  Yeah I know he is going to go back to the Zags or he gets paid a lot there but I wondered how their NIL was if Ballo left.  Relatively new as HC but at a P5 school he has done very well

I hitch my wagon to a school that plays football.

IMO when IU fans talk of Stevens they think it’s 2015 not 2025. Stevens most successful college teams were 15 years ago now! He hasn’t coached college in 12 years. The guy will never live up to the expectations even if we could hire him with a record contract.

Plus let's not forget, Stevens has won as many NCAA championships as I have.   He's not The Pope.  :)

Dusty has done an amazing job in a single year.  We missed the boat I am afraid.

Patience is a virtue. It’s been 25 years, so what’s a few more days. Dolson knows what he’s doing

I get what you’re saying but I think when Stevens is hyped up over and over and over for three days straight the patience wears thinner and thinner as we get more and more anxious.

I asked this about Dusty before but I'll ask again. Do you think SD would be hesitant to hire another alumn and his friend knowing there's a real possibility he'd have to fire him? The optics of firing back to back alumni wouldn't be good at all. And personally for Scott, firing a friend wouldn't be great either. Clearly there's a chance they ride off into the sunset together as well.

We have stop worrying about the "optics" BS.  You what bad optics are -- getting pummelled by UofI, et.al.  Good optics -- hanging banners.  Everything else is just noise.

I said we should’ve considered him four years ago. He’s the best X’s and O’s coach in the country. Glad he’s passing his Drake internship for folks to come around.

Looking at Drake's scores, I see a whole lot of games (including against Miami (FL), Vanderbilt, and a couple of  others with points scored in the 80's.  I know some are concerned about tempo and pace, but I just don't think that's an issue.  I think he'd be terrific here.

I discovered message boards back in the 2000's. I never felt inclined to post on Peegs because it was just a weird group. It was full of trolling Purdue fans, and every IU fan would respond to trolls with comments like "5 banners, nuff said" or "win some banners then get back to us." It was always banners, banners, banners with them. 

 

I am surprised to hear it's basically unmoderated now. Back in the day it was ruled with an iron fist, and you were looking at a lifetime ban if you criticized Bill Lynch in any way. The Purdue board (GBI) was an unmoderated sh*thole and probably still is.

Lots of familiar diehard Hoosier friends here that I remember on these other sites that have kept the fire burning.  We had a good coach that cheated in Sampson less than 1 removed from Knight but Hoosier expectations(you name it)has kept us in the dark going on 20 years past as everyone else chested worse. We now pay as much or more for everything involved and I think we have another chance. Can’t get this one wrong and after Coach cig, I have faith in Dolson.

McDermott doesn’t get talked about enough. He is toward the top of my list for sure.

Even though he is a little older than I would like, he's probably #3 on my list behind Stevens and May.

AP, you’re posting like you’re sitting on good news but I can’t tell if you’re just feeling good or we’ll know what you know soon
