General Coach Candidate News

[Hornsby]

Much like Steuben, I believe Beard would fly as straight as humanly possible if hired. I think that's how much he wants this job. Besides, I dont care if he's in a bar drinking or not. If he truly is out in Oxford getting drunk and still turning Ole Miss, of all places, into a top 25 basketball team, more power to him

Yep

I will say that the Goodman tweet was almost genetically engineered to allow people to see whatever they want to see in it. It could 100% be Brad saying he has no interest in the job. But it could also be what you would expect someone would say when they need to buy a couple more weeks before a hiring announcement. 

It's almost like Brad and Jeff were totally messing with everyone here.

I'd give BB being our next coach, the same percentage as the asteroid hitting the earth by 2032.

2%

I'm rooting for the asteroid if we hire BB

That is all a great fictional narrative. Look at the Zagoria report about Byington. He got publicly humiliated by Cig for making up a story. None of the Stevens to IU stuff was ever true. 

If Zagoria was wrong; why couldn't Goodman be?

Not saying the above is true, just saying.

The risks are bigger.  Hire him and every media piece will mention how IU got comfortable with his DV issues.  Fair or unfair IU will be associated with DV which is bad for our brand/image.  Some donors and fans will be upset, so we have division there.  If he has a repeat issue, and he continues to drink which doesn’t help, Scott is 100% fired and maybe Pam too.  No other coach brings these risks.

It’s hard to see how this could work.  If he had quit drinking and shown how he changed and called Pam/Scott to explain how different he is and how nothing will go wrong… maybe.  I see no signs of that, UK, UM, and UL didn’t look at him.

Have you heard any such stories about how Ole Miss is "comfortable" with domestic violence?  Is that school now "associated with domestic violence"? I don't follow them at all but I haven't read or seen anything about it. Personally, I think if he makes it through 2 seasons without any incidents then there won't be as much talk. Yes, people will remember but it won't be like it just happened.

I would take Will Wade over Brownell.  But we can do better than both.

You read that and you don’t like that guy I’ve got nothin’ for you.

Random question while we wait for the latest rumor - is World Wide Wes still a thing or did NIL and Kentucky basketball no longer being cool move that guy elsewhere?

Yea all the articles when he was hired mentioned it and there were questions about morals and ethics at Ole Miss.

Whatever, like it or not no big brand programs/schools are looking at him.  Personally, if Scott and Pam looked into him and got comfortable I could live with it.  It just seems very unlikely.

I believe he became obsolete.  (I have no idea, I just haven't heard his name in years)

This is a really good summary of the last two weeks.

You could have also told me it was a quote from a post 4 years ago and I would have had a hard time refuting it. It's kind of insane how much people are falling for this again.

Beard’s no riskier than a lot of the other names being thrown out. His risks are just different. I’d feel more comfortable with that risk than the other because the off court stuff is entirely within his control. You could do everything right basketball wise but still not get the results IU wants. Beard is as good a bet at getting those results as any coach out there. 

Beards made it out of the first weekend twice in ten years. He’s no sure thing anymore than most of these other candidates. He carries the same basketball risks in addition to the off the court risks.

Preseason Interview (long)

The more I listen to or watch McCasland, the more I like him.  If he could be pryed away from the state of Texas, he would at least win the press conference.

I'm not saying everything is true about what has been said. However, you stated that nothing about what has been said is true.

Breaking Bad is Stevens favorite tv show. An IU grad produced it. Dolson had him set up the set and met Brad there to say let’s team up to win a championship.

Well, better than the other alternative :)

How would you know it is? Information doesn't become more credible because it's what you want you hear.

I wasn't the one saying that everything around it is true. He stated that none of it is true. I feel that that puts the burden of proof on him....

[iubb]

Is anyone else surprised that no other reporter has actually confirmed Goodmans reporting?
You would think someone would have done so by now if that denial was actually from the “horses mouth” and not from a source (not stevens)

Absolutes suck! Definitely somewhere in the middle of both scenarios!
