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

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.

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. 

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