…and just wait until you all hear about the rest of the staff….brighter days ahead fellas, and that’s saying something on a beautiful Sunday where we put to belt to @$$ against little brother 

Not saying you're wrong, or making this stuff up, but I have a hard time believing we have a coach and staff set up already, yet none of this has leaked out?  That's a lot of people doing a heck of a job keeping secrets...

Clearly double standards. For weeks, anyone who posted an opposing opinion on the FMW thread were told that “ this is the FMW thread.” Go post elsewhere. Unfortunately keeping threads to their topics only goes so far.

You won't win so what are you trying here?

Can we keep this thread on topic please.

Don’t care if I win. Maybe sick of the criticism permeating so many threads. Come to read about coaching news and instead get the same crap that has been posted where it should be

Be honest you and I both know there is very little coaching news because nobody knows anything. You came in here to cause trouble. You still haven't said who you want or think will be next coach?

And now’s it’s derailed far worse. That talk comes and goes and this thread hasn’t had too much of the talk. It’s been very minor and generally never derailed the thread like you are doing now. Let’s move along to 1. Wishing for Stevens 2. Arguing about Beard, Cronin and others. 3. Missing May and all the other stuff that applies.

Just so everyone knows, I'm thinking about starting a thread to discuss off-topic posts in threads and how annoying they are....

That’s where my brain wandered to.

If IU didn’t have a coach, why would Dolson say they are creating a GM role to work with the HC next year.assuming he’d be okay with it (though most probably would be). Why would zellers name be rumored to be in position for that if we didn’t know who HC was. Why would Zeller be at HS game “scouting” Jonathan Sanderson. Do we know someone who might be a candidate for IU HC that also was a person the recruited Zeller? Coincidences? Does Dolson actually have his guy already? Kent thinks so.

Did Dolson actually say that? I've read that that is the general trend these days... and the first I heard about Zeller in any role was earlier today... so, curious if this is real or just another smokescreen...

As far as Kent Sterling goes, several around here have said as much based on their connections and what they may be hearing... So, if anything, I'd say the Sterling thing might confirm some news, but it's certainly not "breaking news"...

I was thinking the same. I guess I could see the coach having a list of people he'd like for the roles then Dolson (maybe even the search firm?) going from there.

Even then I'd have a hard time seeing a staff being put together without word getting out, too many people involved to have control over the flow of information. Heck even if there was an agreement with a new coach it'd be a pretty good hush job to keep it from leaking.

I guess I shouldn’t have said “Dolson said” because obviously it was rumored he was creating the role. So hand up, my bad there. But Zeller and Jordy’s names have been tossed around in the “GM/Asst GM role”

I hope Dolson does have his guy... but honestly, for all but a very few around these parts, this thread is 99.9% speculation, guessing and in-fighting about the merits (or de-merits) of candidates.

The game/s getting scheduled has always been the red herring to me.
Nobody will answer to that but at face value you don’t do that now without coaching approval and a generalized approach. Or at least you shouldn’t.

Let’s pretend it is Stevens …. Will more of us be happy he’s our coach or that Goodman was wrong?!?

It will start to come out. If you notice, it got very, very quiet for a while. That was a good thing, and very much by design. This hasn’t been an overnight thing. Scott has been working on this for quite a while. The plan is coming to fruition

I wasn't questioning your post your intent... was just curious, because, as you say, I've heard rumors, but again, it all seems to be "best guesses" around here for the most part... no harm intended.

Pfft, next you're going to tell me not to get news from Facebook.
