lillurk Posted February 15 Posted February 15 Underwood meets the Thamel criteria and is a good coach. Brownell …think how many dudes would have to say no before we got to him, no offense to BB

Kind of sad. Hiring Brownell wouldn't be kind of sad, it would be very sad. He's having a good year in a crappy ACC. At Clemson, he's only 59% overall and 52% in conference. This is the exact type of hire IU avoids, it would be pathetic but also par for the course. If that does end up being the case, it'll show that Buckner and company may have pushed for Woodson but Dolson was also likely very much on board that train. I guess since Stevens is out of the picture IU is going to IU. Maybe the next AD would get the basketball hire right in 4 years. Scotty R, VFury and JF87 2 1

Kind of sad. This isn't meant to discredit you. Just sharing my reaction. I would just be very surprised if Scott Dolson told a bunch of AAU coaches on a call who he was hiring, or if he told an athlete board. There's no way he's talking to people like that about the search. If he is, then it's an indicator that's he not really in charge of this, which I think we all agree he is.

Refer back to the poll taken on this site…and Woodson was atrocious, but I also don’t think he’s as good of a coach. And you have to understand, that regardless of the results of a BTB poll, we are an incredibly small sample of the fanbase... and the reports of Beards um, transgressions are pretty widely known... I just don't see Dolson and the admin selling it... after all, Pam Whitten killed Pat Fitzgerald for the football job... and Beard doesn't pass the smell test, either, IMO. go iu bb 1

The weird thing about this though...most YouTube videos I watch about the next IU hire always have Beard in the comments with very few, if any against him. The forums are about the only places I see fans against Beard. I bet he would have at least a 75% approval if every IU fan was asked about him. Alford Bailey and jonz44 2

I don’t know about the AAU call. This is a board of former IU athletes that Dolson had to meet with every other week to discuss hirings. Just like the woman’s soccer coach last week. He doesn’t need their approval but he does have to discuss the process with them. Do I believe he’s giving them specific information? No I don’t. lillurk, thebigweave, Pagoda and 3 others 6

Can't worry about a few who hate him Sent from my SM-A146U using Tapatalk I doubt the fans are the reason Beard won't be hired but the AD and the President won't want to take the chance on him Ryno6284 1

Average fans aren’t on message boards and likely have no idea about Beard’s history. Everybody here is much more clued into CBB and educated about it as a whole than people watching YouTube videos. Just my opinion. Home Jersey, thebigweave and cybergates 3

Kind of sad. What that would say is that Scott believes any competent professional CBB coach can win with Indiana resources. I agree with that, but that’s not where you start. That’s where you end up.You start with the best guy you can get and in no universe is Brownell the best guy you can get. He’s not one of the 10 best. What he is is the simplest guy you can get.
