He’s a former FSU player…been there done, that: it’s not a very good hire 

I don’t think they were trying to make a very good hire. Coach salary, staff pool, and rev share barely cracks 5 mil if it does at all.

A guy that was outsmarted by Mike Woodson.

As I recall, Woodson credited “someone in the huddle” for suggesting a zone

Live around some FSU and FL grads. Have never heard them mention bball once.

Absolutely. Questions about their commitment level to their basketball program are valid

no leaks today

Earliest any actual leaking would occur would be Sunday, as I don't see them wanting anything coming out before the team plays a game that determines their tournament chances. (And that's only if the guy isn't going to be coaching his team in the NCAA tournament)

I’m giving Dolson at least enough credit that he won’t hire a guy that will be dumbfounded if an opponent switches to a zone

Tom Crean says hello.

Next coach who has not been mentioned… Avery Johnson!

-Available immediately, so checks that box.

-Coaching experience in a major college conference, although with lackluster results. Did go to one NCAA tournament, so checks that box.

-Was a better NBA coach, with 3 seasons of 50+ wins, so can relate to recruits what it takes to get to the league. Checks that box.

-Would make Crean look like he was in quicksand on the sidelines. So there’s that.

-And most importantly, was known as “The Little General “ as a player. That’s almost destiny, would bring the program full circle, and harken it back to its glory days!

While he's an excellent poster and can speak for himself... I have a feeling he doesn't know what's going on and doesn't want to get bludgeoned with questions that he isn't able to answer.

But that's just my take.

I would say he knows more about what’s going on than anyone on this site. I’m sure when this is all over he will have some great stories.JMO

Not sure what he is worse at being a college basketball coach or being a college basketball commentator.   He is brutally bad on the mic.   Might be why cbssports network  has him do the late games every time so the least amount of people haven’t listen to him.   Mute the tv if he is doing a game

My feeling was that when Jerry said that he was told that some things needed to stay quiet, he heeded that advice.

Just an update for my fellow Hoosiers. Ole QB is cooking up something that I know will please everyone here. And best of all, this candidate has the full backing of Coach Woodson. 

Negotiations are still ongoing, so please know that things can change. The biggest hang-up right now is the length of the contract. I'm going to keep pushing for 8-10 years. I will rest easy knowing this program will be in good hands long after I step down. 

Go Hoosiers!

To think there is a multiverse earth somewhere that this actually happened….it could have happened here at one time 

[JF87]

Someone has kept a low profile since stepping down.  Maybe he's been talking with Scott.

Once this is over you'll either be naming the board after him or you'll never see him here again.  At least that is my prediction after the last search and this one.

McDermott going for his 70th conference win in 5 years in a top 4 conference this weekend.  
 

Archie and Woody combined in 8 years has 73 conference wins currently

Always been on the McCollum train. I wrote a report on him back in December. 
 

That thing needs updated by the way.
