General Coach Candidate News

If indeed Dusty stays at UM that’s a gut punch. Very unfortunate. Slap in a moral clause and get Beard…he will win championships in Bloomington. It’s time. A Cronin and or Buzz hire doesn’t do it.

I know I've shown up to Assembly after tossing back a beer or six. Tired of losing. Tired of doing things the right way. Tired of mediocrity. I'm on the Beard train. 

I actually wonder whether Beard would even finish out the season with Ole Miss if IU hired him... think he would leap at the job if offered. Tend to agree with folks that the DV allegations make it so that IU won't look at him.

I agree. And that's why we'll end up with Brad Brownell or Buzz freakin Williams

Not a surprise if true.

Appreciate it and completely agree with what you said lol. However, I would also add “I’m going to the bathroom” and lock myself in their for 30 mins :) 

I have 5 kids, I know exactly what you are talking about!

Gut punch but I’m not totally convinced May is completely out of it but chances take a hit. If we can’t get May, get Beard. Make no mistake, Beard was not my first choice…but now it’s time. He will win championships and this is what we need. I’m fully on the Beard train now.

It never got to Dusty, didnt need to…

I have no idea who you are, but you’ve got a lot of moxy my guy. My inbox is open if you’ve got sourced information. Everyone I know close to this has been told to quiet down. So interested to hear where your confidence is coming from to be out here providing info.

Until we make a shitty hire, I look at this as possible good news. 

It’s just a matter of time before we make a shitty hire.  We will probably strike out on top pics, pass on Beard and hire Brownell

[rcbowla 8,345]

Sucks that there's an excellent coach ready and willing to come but IU can't touch him. Really, really sucks. On the bright side there are still high quality candidates out there.

[Hornsby 3,870]

It's going to be a bronwell because we passed on may last year and beard bad. Iu going to be iu.

I already knew this was happening I tried to tell everyone earlier. Good thing Dolson had a plan.

Yo, listen up, I got a message for the crew
'Bout a leader, Scott Dolson, with a vision anew
He's got a plan, to make IU grand
Ain't no stoppin' him, he's takin' a stand

He's the architect, of a brighter day
Buildin' the future, in a major way
With a passion that's pure, and a heart that's true
Scott Dolson's the man, with a plan for me and you

From the classroom to the court, he's makin' moves
 IU's on the rise, and he's breakin' the groove
He's the mastermind, behind the Hoosier pride
Scott Dolson's the name, and success is his guide"

It's just the iu way. So when we need a new coach again in 5 years expect more of the same.
