Ole Miss THOROUGHLY vetted the man. Got him on the cheap for a year, signed him to an extension and he negotiated a minimal buyout. If IU wants him, he'll be vetted again. That should be enough. 

 

So why didn't UL, UK or UM look at him last year

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.

So assuming this happened and the job discussions did occur to some extend there is no way I can think of know that Brad would tell only Goodman he wasn’t coming here. He would also have told Dolson, thanks but no thanks. 
 

If the latter happened when do we see signs Scott is moving on

If you hire him you are hiring a leader of men.  He is going to have plan in place on how to get IU back and obsess over it. He respect the history of the place while building his own take on things.  He would also have an exit strategy already planned. lol.    Easy guy to get behind.   Pretty sure he has a massive buyout in place though 

He is definitely obsessed with coaches getting fired! I think that is why he moves around so much. Really sad if he can't ever settle down somewhere,  but maybe that is him? To each their own!

I don't know. Arkansas is the one school I know about that did. Cal took it and he got a raise.

You don’t know that they didn’t and they decided against him.

fWIW, I think IU had vetted previously prior to Woodson being hired and didn’t like his history even prior to the incident (plus the feeling was he was going to Texas anyway(

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)

If I were media I wouldn't trust Goofman, either.

We don’t know what Ole Miss did.  We do know they didn’t have much to lose with their crappy bball program, so it’s easier for them to take risks.

The burden of proof is on the poster throwing out a dozen lines of information as fact. It's reasonable to be skeptical about the post, especially when actual statements from the primary character contradict what is shared.

I don't agree. The person sharing what they have heard is simply that and should be taken at face value. If someone is going to refute what that person heard, I believe that they would need to prove it wrong to be able to say it was false.

That's not how the information was presented. It was posted as factual events that the poster is using to keep faith in BS being hired. Any person could concoct an elaborate story to justify any opinion and your stance is its on someone else to refute it with fact? We're not going to agree here.

Not for awhile because the candidates for this job are currently coaching a college basketball team 

[Alford Bailey]

Wow Dolson and Stevens are besties! Who knew?

My opinion on your question is because I don't think any other reporters think it's necessary. 

Outside of diehard IU fans, nobody else really thinks Stevens to IU is a serious thing. 

[HoosierInParadise]

But I won’t because then “insiders” will pivot to something like “Brad had second thoughts over the weekend” or “Tracy vetoed it and made them stay in Boston” or “insert excuse here” 
and that’s how this **** always goes and it’s exhausting

I get it, but that's the problem. Let people bring their stuff here and share it. If you don't buy it, that's ok..don't let it bother you. It's also OK for someone to keep listening and try to take the information to possibly put a puzzle together. I'm sure people have left different boards and forums due to someone's sources being wrong and not feeling they can trust the information being brought.

I'm simply saying that while everything being said may not be true all the time, I believe that some of it is. So for someone to state that "nothing about what has been said is true" is just wrong to say in my opinion.

From what's been said, IU already has a beefy file folder on him.

I've not heard that, not saying it isn't true though. If we go in another direction hopefully we'll hear something. 

[IUguy77]

So where did the Breaking Bad story come from. That sounds awfully made up to not be true. Who could come up with an idea like that to pass along unless it happened?

Does this mean that Dolson and Hoosier Hysterics are teaming up to recruit Stevens?  Isn't one of them a Hollywood producer?

Ok, I checked and Goodman said Stevens told Field of 68 he wasn't a candidate and Goodman founded Field of 68. Although the only quote from Stevens he gave didn't actually use those words.

Are you at liberty to divulge? If someone can prove he has a track record of violence towards women, I'll jump off the Beard bus.

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

Have you seen the list of the top wishlists of the UK faithful? In their eyes, where did Pope sit? Top 10? We have different expectations, realistic or not, and that's okay. With the money being talked about, someone on this list won't be able to turn us down. Maybe I'm delusional, but this program is due. I think Dolson is going to get the right guy.

Trilly will know right away. He works with the agents. He’s just said that he hasn’t seen any movement with Dolson reaching to CBB agents yet. If he does next week we’ll know.
