I think that if we are discussing Collins as a legitimate option, we have fallen as a program. Is anyone else talking about Brownell??? Collins??? Buzz?? As an option for, say, UNC, or when Texas opens up? No because they are hopefully reaching higher. 
 

yes, Collins would do better than Woodson but he’ll so would Altman, Hoiberg, or Willard. I personally don’t think that means we should hire them. 

It doesn't matter who we're talking about as legitimate options. It matters who they're talking about as legitimate options.

The coaching search isn't happening on message boards. Anyone can suggest anyone and it won't matter in the end.

Hypothetical: a contract was signed and the new coach contacts his friend (Goodman) to ask a favor.  Send out a vague message that I am not a candidate for the IU coaching position.  Scott and I have agreed to give you the heads up hours before making any official announcement.  You can say I was not a candidate because I had already accepted the position and we needed to keep a low profile to allow Woodson to bow out gracefully.

I like this thinking a lot.

Did somebody just use my name in vain?  And BTW have you noticed my signature on my posts?

Boy, you woke up trying to pee in everyone's cheerios this morning. I expect it from some but not you. Haha. You're getting as grouchy as olf fart. 

Geez - I considered that my first 100% "Pro-McCollum" post!    :)

Another way of saying it? If McCollum is truly a bad @$$ that can win D1 championships like some think? He will greatly prefer the IU job to that lame-@$$ Iowa job.

I was trying to say your less grouchy than Stu these days. I think there is a compliment in there somewhere

Not asking they are happy to tell, just can't say the name

Didn't your say the name a little earlier in reference to a train - don't worry, I won't tell

Careful - you’re gonna end up with “stay off my lawn!” replies.

His punishment should be to help Old Fart fetch the extra bandwidth from the crick... might need it today the way this is shaping up...

Stu has been more edgy in this search than in prior ones.  I kind of like it except he is not fully on the Steven train this time, yet..

Chris007's updates have been a wonderful sight to see this morning. However, I am ready for this place to go bonkers with Issac's update on the date and time of the announcement....

Great additional point!

Everything I posted about reasons for secrecy can absolutely signify that Scott already has his guy. 

I am purely explaining the need for secrecy; because that need for secrecy could mean that he has his guy, or that he does not yet.

Agreed, he 100% either has his guy or he doesn't. ;)

And that's why the most valuable sources of chatter might not be from the IU side of things.

Amirite, @BGleas?

At least one trusted poster has indicated he’s heard things from the other side. Not gonna tag him but some of you have seen it.

I’m fully expecting someone new to pop in sometime after lunch with a new completely bonkers option. My money has been on someone pushing Shrewsberry for a few days, just waiting for that to come to fruition. Surprised it’s taken so long to be honest. Expecting big things from the Friday news dump.

@Stuhoo was the conductor of the Shrewsberry train until this season. I think he's hopped off.
