General Coach Candidate News

[Stuhoo]

 

You guys want to see a young coach crushing it in the best conference in the country teaching players real offense?

I give you Mark Byington. THIS would be a great hire:

My understanding is that they have a decent level of support for the size of the program. Not elite. Before all this stuff was above board, they had more luck with elite talent. People have speculated about that.

Got it. I’ve gathered that Baylor NIL is more geared towards football. 
 

Does anyone know how Drew is viewed within Indiana bball circles?

this post will be met with skepticism, which is understandable. but it won't be Stevens. 100% confident on that. Dolson's current list is 3, he doesn't have his "man", but any of those 3 would be really strong hires. has plans D and E as well, names we've all heard but hope it doesn't get to them. Nothing announced until late march at the earliest. deep talks with 1 candidate in particular, a name i think would be just about universally liked, but nothing signed and won't be until his team is done

And who are you? Why should we believe you?

I for one, would like to hear Jackal's take on the board's most pressing matter;  cork taint.

Or Turgeon. More Turgeon bombs!

(As in finally bombing the notion of Dolson even being interested in him)

Well he did threaten to deport a former Indiana Elite player if he didn't commit several years back so there's that.

I'm not sure how much he recruits Indiana if at all. Don't seem to recall any Indiana born players on his Baylor teams.

If anyone has real info I will gladly tell them were my info came from so that I can push back on their claims if they do the same. 

I may have misread you, but it seemed like earlier your post said you have information from Brad’s side that tracks with what Jackal said, but in the same sentence said his info didn’t make sense. 
 

so is your information telling you that Brad is definitely a “no”, but his story doesn’t make sense, or are you saying your source on Brad’s side says that he’s still in discussion?

Giving out home addresses, occupations, cell phone numbers, and lunch buddies on a free, public, anonymous message board is frowned upon.

Was not highly favored 10 years ago. That may have mended with time, but I don't know that.

I will say at least I'm not scared to name names. If you're going to say something vague at least name someone. 

Hey everyone I can tell you it's not going to be this person but I think it could be one of these 5 guys

I agree 100%. Don't say anything if you're not really saying anything.

I may have mistyped but what I’ve heard very recently doesn’t track with what he said.

No one asked him for those things.   But having him follow up (which he did) lends some credibility to what he is saying.

great coach, absolutely attainable if he’s targeted.

It does seem odd his buyout came down, if previous reports are true.

I see I see. So you’ve got some info from their side of the fence that could be considered…favorable?

....meaning, ap2345's info is still/currently/last checked, pro Brad. Please correct me if I'm wrong ap2345.

Directly connected to Dolson. Let's just say I speak regularly with someone who speaks with Dolson every day. 1 of the very, very few people who actually knows specific names he is targeting. Either this guy is giving me bad info on purpose about Stevens - honestly could be a smokescreen - or he gave me good info into the current landscape of the search. 

Used to go by a different name on this site but deleted that account. maybe Chris will remember, but I told him Archie would be the hire about a week before he was announced via DMs. Don't post on other boards, but have lurked here for a while. Don't want to be the bad guy, i want stevens just as much as everyone else and hope this is just bad info. figured i'd pass along what i heard yesterday

- Jackal

No problem. You can't say any names?
