We have a month left of this. This is the perfect day for that topic. 

The instant ban I'd get is the only thing holding me back from launching 5000 words of the most insane crackpot ideas you've ever seen rn

I don’t think it really matters, just throwing out some names to help the flow of the board and get more pages. We both know who it’s going to be. Say it for me.

Chris Collins, come on down!

If I had a band, I would name it “Too Many Johnsons”.  Only I would sometimes bill us as “Two Mini Johnsons”.

…..sounds like your band would or could have been the house band for the old “Bullwinkles” in Bloomington, ……back in the day! lol

For the record I'd take Brownell over Cronin.  Cronin I feel is so bad of a fit and to pay 10mil to get him would be one of the worst business decisions Dolson clould make beyond keeping Woodson another year.  Cheap buyout?  Sure.  10mil?  Nope. 

Brownell started at Clemson in 2010. He’s made the tournament 4 times. This year will be 5. During those same 15 years, Cronin has made the tournament 12 times. This year will be 13. He would’ve made it the Covid season, so 14 times in 15 years. If you don’t want to include the Covid year, he’s at 13 times in 14 years. 

I don’t understand the Cronin discourse. Sure I’d love to love the new coach’s personality after four years of Woodson, but making the tournament every year would get me over it.

The kill shot for JFK came from the grassy knoll. It’s not even really debatable based on the heads reaction to the shot and physics.

I’m still trying to figure out the difference between soft chatter, normal chatter, or hard chatter.

All three of them are a cryptic code from Rabby basically meaning “I don’t know sh*t about F*ck”

If he values his job as much as he loves IU I gotta think he has multiple feelers out and has for over a year. I also tend to believe Woody would be vindictive behind the scenes and negative recruit the job and Dolson. I cannot imagine a world where they are on speaking terms. So I think that speaks to a very tight lipped search.

I do wonder if the "search firm" is for no other reason than vetting Beard. Not sure how much "vetting" you need for a Stevens, May, Drew, Otz type of hire (I know they do more than that, im just saying). Dolson has to have known Dusty was a no long before the news of an extension dropped, so it really makes me curious where he has been in contact since Dusty off the board seriously ratchets up the pressure on him IMO.  Assuming Stevens was always a no, our search started on guy number 3? The whole thing is strange to me so far honestly.

“Vetting” would probably be in the form of contacting agents (Drew/Otz/etc) and finding out if interested?  How much money would it take?  Other wants?  Taking that info to find out who serious candidates would be.

 

Just my guess

Decent chance the JFK file gets declassified soon (66% chance per betting markets).  That’s a drop everything and read it moment if it happens.

One thing I know for sure is IU did their homework last time and had a notebook full of reasons why not to hire him and that was before the incident.

Bet Texas would have loved to have seen that notebook since they hired him without reservation.

Compare them to Crean who was fired and it looks even worse.  Cronin would not last.  He's Tom Crean but much shorter.

IU took one look at that title game appearance and said absolutely not.
