General Coach Candidate News

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?

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.

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

So then that should be easy to confirm. Yet no other reporter had done so

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.

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

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.

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 

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.

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. 

 

“Ole Miss THOROUGHLY vetted”

That made me laugh a lot.

Stevens isn’t quoted mentioning IU or its job. And never said the words being attributed to him. He was quoted as saying he enjoys working for the Celtics. Goodman is spinning the rest.

No way this is true.  Chris we need some verification.

All this back and forth about BS and whether people should be believed or not or whether anything is factual people post is exactly why I continually post, ill believe a coach is hired will happen when the contract is signed.

IMO, getting one's hopes up based on posts on a forum and then getting all bent out of shape, tells me more about that person , than those posting their opinions or what they hearing. Can you say gullible

UM has so much money it’s not too hard for them to pony up to keep him — contract, staff $/program budget, and NIL are all going way up.  Not good.

But they wouldn’t accept Johnell Davis. And there’s been other transfers they haven’t accepted. That could pose a significant long term risk even with increased funds.

Isn’t the set of breaking bad a house in New Mexico that a woman currently lives in? Lol. Could be mistaken but pretty sure that was the case at least as of a couple years ago. Maybe in a certain light Dolson looked too much like Saul Goodman and Stevens got turned off to the whole idea… lol

[wirenuts 1,237]

Is there anybody in here that actually likes Goodman as a reporter?

Call it a poll.

and that’s how this **** always goes and it’s exhausting

It’s only exhausting because you let it get to you.  Why do you care what random people post on a free message board.  Who cares what “insiders” say.   You don’t believe it so it should not effect you when they post something.

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. 

An update to this: An even better timeline now exists. 

Brad Stevens signs with IU, Jeff Goodman looks like an idiot, AND we get a photo of Scott Dolson and Brad Stevens posing in front of the meth hotel in Albuquerque, NM.

The exact same thing could be said the other way

you all let it bother you so much when other people call the “insiders” stuff a bunch of fantasy land BS

if you want to believe it go ahead but why get upset that others call it out as make believe

I heard about it after it happened but didn’t believe it but checked the flight tracker and both were there at the same time. Then when it was brought up by Isaac I thought it must’ve happened.

She's actually trying to sell it right now for 4 million dollars...  maybe they are going in on a vacation home together.
