I think the reasonable take here is you and others have not heard that he has told Dolson 'no' so there has not been any smoke that way other than Goodman. And the quote being so meh. The guy literally went on camera and called himself a Masshole last time ffs. He knew "not a candidate" would not be good enough for the IU fanbase to move on. So that's where I keep a sliver of hope. Just my worthless two cents. 

One big difference, which has been mentioned before, is that BS has no media obligations that I'm aware of. So he doesn't have to sit in front of a camera and answer the question multiple times.

I know my UNC folks had their eyes on the buyout going down next year for Oats until the extension came out yesterday. They expected him to get an extra year a la Woody then the buyout goes to 10million on 1 April I believe. 

If some other Blue Blood gets Oats i'm gonna be upset. lol

Pretty good food for thought from Mike Wiemuth (X’s & Joes Pod) @M_Wiemuth_

Be wary of chatter. Coaches who know they’re at the top of an AD’s target list don’t require their media pals to start whisper campaigns for their candidacy. Often times the more you hear a coach’s name, the further towards the bottom they reside on the program’s candidate list.

Well, that info would close the door on facial hair... thank goodness for that.

on the flip side, a team needs other teams to play... gotta get something on the schedule... and maybe there is input from the new coach... after all, we've been told that Scott has his guy...

I agree with this.

I don't know the process, so I am assuming here, but doesn't the athletic department handle most of the scheduling? No doubt they get input from the coach but I would assume the lions share is happening outside of the HC. I also assume that they have strict deadlines to keep in order to make these matchups happen so they can't really wait on a new coach.

Cronin as well, thankfully.

Entirely valid, but it was so forceful last time it seems odd to me that it essentially was hand waving the job. And I am pretty confident Chris and others will hear if Brad is a no to Dolson, there is no logical reason that info doesn't leak out imo.

I don’t think IU will hire McCollum but comparing him to Porter Moser is nuts 

I’m not really saying in terms of style or coaching or personality . But just a reminder he’s the mid major flavor of the year . And D2 / mid major success in NO WAY indicates high major success it’s a totally different beast in every way. Too many examples to cite but we experienced it first hand with Archie . Porter Moser and his luck success at Oklahoma is another example

Rumor mill is he (Oats) has his eyes on Kansas that’s why KU fans have been so irritated the last 2 years of Self and want him put in out to pasture. 
 

but I got to imagine he might have taken UNC if it opened up hard one to pass up !

.....mabye one of the requests from "Dolson's guy" was to get teams "A", "B" and "C" scheduled for next year to help bolster IU's resume. I would definitely be like, "I will make that happen. What else can I do for you?"

Maybe one reason behind the improved schedule is to elevate our national exposure.  With a newly hired, big name coach it would add a lot of hype to the media coverage.  Our recent lackluster preseason schedule has provided no "buzz" (other than getting stomped by every decent team we played).

It's not like after the Woodson retirement announcement Dolson thought welp let's work on the schedule.  This has likely been something that's been on going and agreed upon well before either announcement.

With TV/media agreements I’m sure this gets pushed as early as possible.  Waiting to schedule so that we can name a coach is likely not an option.

Yes, it’s currently a 4 year deal

The joke at the time it was announced was that Calipari will not be around when the game is in Bloomington.  LOL  I didn't think it would come true in just a few months after the announcement.

Right, I remember that as well.  Turns out to be true.  I still don't get why we caved in on the Lucas Oil game.  Seems that UK got the better end of the deal.  Starts there and they get a year at Lucas Oil.

Good. Still think stevens is a complete pipe dream. Let's go get Drew
