Just that he loves his job everyday from what I’ve seen

So, "not a candidate" were Goodman's words, not Stevens'. 

 

We aren't going to know who our next coach is until probably at least St. Patrick's Day. Expect nothing but denials and platitudes before then.

I still believe

You guys are hilarious. This is definitely one of the most manic coach search threads I can remember. I’m thoroughly enjoying it.

FWIW, the Field of 68 Twitter asserts that “sources” told them this and not Stevens himself.

No, it’s from Stevens according to the On3 article

The best timeline is still available: Brad Stevens changes his mind and Jeff Goodman looks like an absolute idiot.  That's the reality I will live in... until Randy Whittman is official announced at least.

Nothing any different than what happened here 4 and 8 years ago. A whole lot of talk but nothing legitimate. I do have confidence we will land a good coach this time though.

Hahahahah. 

"Not a candidate" because he's already accepted the job as the next coach. Not lying but throws everyone off the scent.

JK.

Does May want to be the next coach at IU or not? That is the question. I guess we'll find out in a month and a half.

That’s why we need to go out and hire Beard and flip the bird to them all.

You'll be coaching at IU long before Beard is...

Hopefully our insiders are gathering up more intel. No way this is it. This Steven's announcement was their only option to cool things down

To be clear, I think it's 99% likely the Goodman Tweet ends the Brad-stakes.

But it is a bit ambiguous. The part about not a candidate is not in quotes, just the stock answer about the Celtics. Is the not a candidate part Goodman paraphrasing something else Stevens said, or is he interpreting the quote to mean Brad's not interested in the job?

[Demo]

I swear to God, anybody busting out the “Stevens has a latent coaching itch he’s just gotta scratch” stuff ever again fully deserves the Patrick Swayze Roadhouse throat rip right then and there.

Never Again

I would physically implode from the amount of pure glee and joy this produces. Lol. 

HOW DO YOU LOOK IN ORANGE JEFF GOODMAN?!

Well all right then. Feels a little like when the hot girl tells you she sees you as a friend. On to the next...

C'mon down Dusty (please for the love of God)!

So when the stalking begins, right?

Stuff isn’t happening this quickly and this real-time. And people who actually know information aren’t sharing it this hour-by-hour or at all. Use common sense people 

[WayneFleekHoosier]

lol. Goodman and the Twitter Burner trolls being wrong would be epic to say the least. 
 

Tyme has strongly said it won’t be May.  I think it’ll be May, but if not, make an offer you can’t refuse to McCasland.  

[darB s'tI]

Maybe it's just me being a big baby, but it always feels like Goodman takes joy in discrediting IU. The only positive thing he's ever done in relation to IU was in stride with his daughter reporting here. Everything else has been borderline deliberate.

I agree on Dusty. If it isn’t him I’m all in on McCollum though. Dude just wins

How bad does anyone being reasonable feel for Dolson?  The expectation, not hope is Brad Stevens.  A mythical coach who has only grown stature since he left the college level.  No matter who you pick it ends in disappointment.  I know they read these boards, so whichever poor kid reads this, take a shot for me.
