This should go without saying obviously, but there will be no press conference tomorrow. I’ll be able to take the lid off a bit later in the week. But will say this, anybody providing details right no

I’ve had several PM’s so wanted to drop a quick line to the broader board. Love this group and fully intend to continue to contribute to the community, Im not going anywhere. (Sorry to a few of you) B

So I couldn’t get much from him unfortunately. But, to me that’s a good thing. There’s been pretty much zero chatter, nor leaks for a month about coaches. He said it doesn’t matter that the season is

UoL and UK both passed on him:) 

I know you are poking me about Beard (all good, and hilarious i might add), but i should have added, we get to Collins and we are well and truly cooked lol. I do not want him in any way, just was asking cause I seriously could not place him ever being in conversation for other jobs. (Wisconsin comes to mind maybe as a fit)?

The guy is simply amazing... he's blowing off pre- and post-game interviews with Don Fischer because he's embarrassed that he's an entitled brat and crappy coach who hasn't recruited for 4 years... but he can take the time to travel to Florida on the company dime to "recruit" a kid who's already committed and who would crawl over broken glass to play for IU... 

So glad he's gone soon, but wish he was gone last year... he's screwed up this program more in the past 4 years in more ways than we can count, and walked away with $20M... 

 

Maybe he went down there to dissuade Sisley from coming? Just kidding.

Eh not really. This day his first year IU was 16-10 and had lost 5 straight. His first year was real mid. 

Wasn’t that the one year where we finished higher in the BT than preseason expectations?  At one point we had one of the top defenses in the country.  Going into year 2 he had momentum and expectations rose and from the on we underperformed.  Year 2 we were projected to win the BT and still came in second but he needed success in the tournament to help seal the deal and that was a flop.

Only my personal opinion, but I think IU already has their coach. Take that for what it's worth, but my feeling is that May has been told and that is why he signed an extension. As others have said, things aren't making a lot of sense right now. Scott is still doing his due diligence, but why has all the information suddenly stopped flowing? Maybe I'm delusional or it's just wishful thinking, but I think things aren't making much sense right now for a reason. Scott has been conducting this search for over a year now, IMO. 

I agree with this take and at the very least I think the info is slowly starting to flow again.

Ugh, I can just feel it being Cronin. And 20-30 other schools continue to have coaches I like more than my alma mater.

He’s a decent coach, but that would not be fun due to the fit being so-so at best and there being better options out there.

I would initially have a visceral reaction, then I would rationalize it and have some optimism, then it probably doesn’t go well and I have to back off my pro-Dolson stance, and finally I just follow football until the next coaching search.

I still trust Scott right now.  We really don’t know what he’s up to.

If IU hired Brownell then they would just be telling us they have no intention of ever actually trying to bring this program back.

There's no way Dolson pushed this hard to get rid of Woodson just to pry Brownell away from Clemson. Think of the risk he would be taking. 

Of course I said essentially the same thing about Woodson when Archie was fired.

Come on...there's nobody (Dolson, whoever) that says, "Nope, you're not spending recruiting resources at this stage of your employment."

Wasn’t that long ago everybody was criticizing him for NOT recruiting McNeely after he committed. The hate is real. ( AND IM NOT A COACH WOODSON FAN, SO NOT DEFENDING)

The Brownell talk sounds like agent nonsense to me trying to garner interest in their client in general. Zero chance Brownell is a candidate JMO. Cronin smoke too most likely. Agents and media people do this crap every big opening, throwing around nonsensical options. It is good for business for Brownell to have stories about being connected to the IU job.

I think I’d hate a Collins hire less than I’d hate some of these other hires. He’s done a respectable job at a school with literally zero basketball history. Had never made the NCAA tournament before Collins got there. I think a lot of “imagine what he could do with our resources” responses are copium with some of these candidates, but I think it actually fits with Collins. He’s a good coach. Northwestern plays in a high school gym and has a 7.2% acceptances rate. IU is in a different universe when it comes to recruiting opportunities.

If it isn’t Stevens and we won’t look at Pearl and Beard it could very well end up being a Collins type. I guess he is an upgrade to Woodson but yeah, it would be very meh, mid, average

All Rabby said was there’s soft chatter about those two names. That could literally mean anything lol

First off I get so tired of his use of soft chatter, my intel and things like that. 
Also does he not find it weird that there not much noise of Dolson really talking to anyone yet?
