One thing I was told today from the former athlete board that Dolson talks to is don’t be surprised if it’s a Brad, just not the Brad everyone wants. Kind of sad.

I'm going to die.

I think the name was thrown out a few 100 pages ago. But what about Shaka Smart? Hard to find much on salary with private school but I think I saw it was around $3 million. I know he wasn’t great at Texas but he’s done well at Marquette and he’s still just 47.

IU probably still had Brownells resume on file so started there

The bias you’re most likely seeing is engagement. Average fans aren’t on message boards and likely have no idea about Beard’s history. Everybody here is much more clued into CBB and educated about it as a whole than people watching YouTube videos. Just my opinion. 

This is exactly why I would guess he would be at least 75% approval from all IU fans.

Appreciate the context. 
Dolson having to meet with an athlete board and actually give them insight into the hiring process is a glaring example of the incompetence of IU basketball the last 25 years. 
What an utter waste of Scott Dolson's time right now. 

Is IU the only college that requires the AD to do this?

Its stupid regardless of the sport. CFB/socccer etc

I don’t know about the AAU call. This is a board of former IU athletes that Dolson had to meet with every other week to discuss hirings. Just like the woman’s soccer coach last week. He doesn’t need their approval but he does have to discuss the process with them. Do I believe he’s giving them specific information? No I don’t. 

Then it seems like any of them who are mentioning Brownell are just guessing. I’m not gonna say there’s zero chance, but I may win the powerball too.

Nobody thinks he would leave Marquette.

Yes I agree with that. I live this at the University. We need lots of committees and meetings.

The weird thing about this though...most YouTube videos I watch about the next IU hire always have Beard in the comments with very few, if any against him.  The forums are about the only places I see fans against Beard.  I bet he would have at least a 75% approval if every IU fan was asked about him.

I see a lot of positive comments on Beard on a ton of other media platforms. Not near the negative take I see here. That said we won’t hire him.

I would be absolutely shocked if it’s Brownell, but at this point there isn’t anything i would rule out. Call it delusion, honestly that’s probably it, but my gut tells me the real Brad isn’t totally out of question, but maybe unlikely.

 

either way I trust Scott

No specifics but they come to the conclusion is brownell?  What is the point of this meeting?

[TTT 1,105]

Still, much silence surrounding Brad Stevens…Pre welcoming Brad Stevens to IU men’s basketball.

I have no clue. I could see a meeting that the AD attends once a semester or something, but weekly or bi-weekly and to discuss things like coaching hires? 

That's absolutely ridiculous. 

I was on my colleges athlete board (D2 - nowhere near IU's level obviously) and i don't remember ever meeting with our AD, maybe once at the beginning of the year, but weekly or bi-weekly? That's crazy.

It's a good thing we established you are just a troll, otherwise I would be very worried right now.

If Brad Brownell is our next coach, I will delete my account, move to New Zealand and change my name to Walter. 

[Hoosier Guy 7,837]

There’s no way Dolson would be dumb enough to hire Brad Brownell.  The program would burn to the ground.

And start cooking stuff out of a rv?

I cannot imagine a world where given the other options Dolson hitches his career to a Brownell hire. What other Brads are there lol
