General Coach Candidate News

I would take Brownell over Beard

I sure wouldn't. Guy is an average coach. If thats the best we can do boy have we fallen as a program.

I'd take year 5 of Woodson over either.

Yes, I just typed that and yes I think I'm going to be sick.

I wonder if it just means Barnwell is on his list of candidates and if others say no and it gets to him then that’s when he would be hired

If Barnwell is on his list of candidates we are in bigger trouble than I thought. Bill Barnwell is an NFL writer who has no coaching experience at the D1 level.  What is he thinking?

I like Clemson in the short term because they beat Duke not too long ago which gave me a little burst of joy, otherwise I'm ambivalent on them lol

I think they are poised for another second weekend run

I totally agree. I just don’t see how it gets past May because I don’t think he signs an extension until he for sure knows IU isn’t hiring him

See he’s such an irrelevant candidate to me that I don’t even know his name

This will be the 5th tournament Brownell has made in 15 years at Clemson. It’d be hard to find a coach who has made fewer tournaments than IU over the past 15 years, but you’d really have to tip your cap to Dolson if he can pull that off.

Oof. Shut it down, you’ve won today.

If we're not a good enough program anymore, where we can't get a Stevens, May, Pearl, Oats, Drew, Golden, TJ, or McDermott(maybe few more), then we've solidified ourselves as "once a blue blood" program.

Top money for a coach/coaches

Top NIL money

Top fanbase(pro or con)

The money to upgrade facilities where needed?

We need a homerun -Brownell is far from it

 

So if that is the case then UK is no longer a blue blood as well since they struck out on of their top candidates. People need to just look at the last 5 years of job openings and who was hired. A lot of of top jobs had come open and haven't been filled with elite coaches

Ok, been thinking about this Stevens thing all day.  First, I am not a big Stevens guy.  I am neutral at best.  

But I think Stevens is trolling Goodman, and Goodman took the bait.  Words mean things.  Even if he was quoted as saying "I am not a candidate" what does that really mean?  It doesn't mean anything.  Think about it.  Season is still going on.  Most current coaches who would be candidates are still coaching and can't really be contacted.  Has Dolson even "officially started" the search so people are actually candidates? 

Second, if we review the activities of the other day, it was suggested that IU basically had an agreement in principle with Stevens.  That again, takes Stevens out of the "candidate" definition because he is actually the coach in waiting.  

So who the hell knows.

I don’t think Chris Beard is a “bad guy”, I don’t want to rehash it or argue about it. I backed off supporting him because I want as united a fanbase as possible, not because I believe he is a loose canon or a wife beater. I can remember when people thought Bruce Pearl was a “bad man” and he was getting skipped over by elite programs….all he did was win everywhere he went, even at schools that didn’t normally have winning basketball programs. If Dolson chooses Beard I will not only be happy but I won’t be worried that he is going to embarrass us off the court. But right now, I would take Dusty or even McDermott over Beard, because I think both are very capable and because they won’t be divisive as I fear Beard would be…..

[Mopladysman]

So dolson went to this board and said I’m looking for a coach that wears blue and orange and sucks.  See ya later

We can fix him.

I agree. I'm not holding out hope for Brad but just look at what Mick Cronin said last night about the IU opening. He wouldn't even entertain out of respect for Woody. Any person worthwhile would do the same.

I don't think we hear anything until the season is over or the start of the tournament at the earliest.

Tell that young man to not get out over his skis next time unless he wants to be the next Justin Albers.

Hilarious that this was one of the insider sources for the done deal chatter on this board.  A friggin wet behind the ears journalism student.

Just to be clear this isn’t a source. My son told me this at the game. Not sure where this student journalist got his info. But I know he knows the Goodman girl. I told my son tell that kid that being first isn’t important if you’re wrong.

So now this board is going to Implode because one  guy who has been wrong so many times says something about Brownell. Some of you are so gullible and wanting info you will believe anything. I can promise you that Dolson isn't going around telling everybody around campus what his plans are. SMH!!!!!

It's not imploding....but it is not talking about Stevens anymore...just like you wanted before.

I never said anything about not discussing Stevens any more

[Ghost of Rick Majerus]

This message board is a blast during coaching searches. Rumors are fun. I love "insiders" whether they are wrong or right. It's just fun to talk basketball with fellow Hoosier fans who have been subjected to the same misery as myself. 

But some of you guys are so bipolar and need to chill. The mood goes up and down by the minute. 

"Yes, we are getting Brad Stevens."

*10 minutes later*

"Brad Stevens was never going to happen!" 

*5 minutes later*

"It was all a smoke screen. Brad Stevens is signing his contract Monday!"

*30 seconds later*

"Actually it's Brad Brownell who is signing the contract!! He is Dolsons "guy".  Our program is doomed. Panic!"
