I actually forgot about him. I would put him up behind Dusty depending on buyout. I love his offense. 

I got room on the mail truck for another passenger let me know if you want a ride.  If May says no hop  on the McDermott tra…I can’t say the rest Strom said so hop in the mail truck

My list if Brad isn’t available like Goodman says is Dusty, Dusty, he should already be the coach. I argued that with NGW till I was blue in the face. He wanted Woodson with a bankroll by donors. I ended up being right because anyone with any basketball knowledge knew Woodson couldn’t coach and Dusty can. If he says no I would do McCollum, then TJ. If we get that desperate then Beard or Wade. Flip a coin. 

It kills me we could have Dusty right now and have a shot to win the conference plus some serious program building under our belt.  We would likely have Mullins, Sisley, and some other elite HS players committed for next year.  That would be sweet.

But noooo.  We are the opposite situation — program getting worse and a big rebuild effort required and Dusty may not come.  Brutal.  Just brutal.

To those that follow this stuff, who's on UNC's coaching hot board?  It feels like they're going to need a coach after the season too

Don't disagree one bit with this paragraph.  But if you're Scott Dolson are you willing to risk your career to be that one person and possibly President Whitten's as well if she signed off on it and it blows up in the university's face?  IMO Dolson is not a gambler and he won't take that risk.  And I'm not necessarily directing my question at you but it's more rhetorical in nature.

It’s just nauseating that a sure thing in Beard wants the job and his past f ups are going to keep him from it. In the end it’s on him. I would like to think the guy has a new lease on life and knows there will be no 3rd chance if he messes up again.

Chris Beard is at the top of their list.  ;-)

You might have room for passengers on the McDermott truck, but I doubt you'd have room for McDermott. 

Unless you got a bigger truck. 

Dude's 6-foot-8 and probably goes about 260-270.

Save me a seat. Not promising I won’t jump out with you driving.

Feels like they may be going down our path, seems like most think he will be back. I saw on their board that should but their money into football.

1) May if you can swing it 

2) McDermott

3) McCasland if you can get him out of TX

4) Buzz 

5) Cronin 

6) McCollum 

I’d like Devries and Byington above McCollum, but not sure they’d leave after 1 year at their current spots. Don’t find many of the other names mentioned often to be very attainable. Definitely reach out to them too. I’m hoping they’re in the process with agents/reps for all these guys and others as in doing their due diligence so they can pull the trigger asap when they’re done with their current team. No time to waste with portal season looming.

Rumor is they have done what we did last season and are giving Davis one more season.

I'll join along for the ride.

And that’s the dilemma.

Take the chance and either become the GOAT in regards to IU ADs, or become the goat that everyone blames and wants to see burned at the stake.

 I don’t know Scott Dolson. I don’t know Pam Whitten. Can’t even imagine what they might do.

 I do know that throughout history, people who are considered great had to take a gamble at some point.

I'd give BB being our next coach, the same percentage as the asteroid hitting the earth by 2032.

2%

I got that. Currently 2.2%.

Quinn Bucker is refusing to let UNC fire Davis before he gets another season?

Man, that guy's power knows no limits. 

LOL!

Pretty hard to argue with this. I'd have some reaches (Otz, Oats, Donovan) above McDermott (and maybe Dusty), but otherwise this looks right to me.
