Missing on Dusty last year and then having to hire Brad Brownell would a real kick in the nuts.  The downward slide of IU basketball into complete mediocrity and irrelevance would be complete. 

Brad Brownell has tons of experience at another football school...

We'd be back here in 4 years, so bright side?

Doesn’t change a thing. Was never gonna be May. What happened is what was gonna happen. They missed that window a year ago. He’s just 1 less name in this thread.

You know it's coming. We followed Miller up by saying "hold my beer" and hiring someone off the WTF list.

A lot of folks have the “we can’t do worse than Woodson” mentality right now. That’s the same mentality we had after firing little Archie and look where it got us. 

On the bright side, this hire will be a confirmation hire. Hire yet another dud and it’s the final confirmation for the fanbase that the administration doesn’t give two craps about men’s basketball.

I still think Scott has a good chance to get this hire right.

I’ve got to admit likely losing a good coach who is one of our own to UM is triggering some of my PTSD developed over the past 25 years.

Just hire Beard and get this show on the road. He’d probably leave Oxford and be in Bloomington by sunrise. (Drunk, possibly, but he’d probably still coach the team better Sunday than Woodson will). 

The coaching better than Woodson is more than a probably.  But I don’t see it happening…..and I think it will be awhile before you see him move to a job much higher caliber than ole miss.

I hope you’re right. Every sign leading up to this indicates you are, except a tweet from Jeff Goodman. We need you to be right. Lol

He’s not right lol. Without reading qanon tea leaves, the reality is Dolson has struck out on his top two options. The bright side is we won’t be hiring a coach for at least another month, so we aren’t in scramble mode yet. But this idea that Dolson has some master plan that he’s executing is obviously a load of nonsense.

I thought that after Miller. I didn't expect them to be so stupid as to hire Woodson; anyone with two functioning brain cells could tell that was an awful hire.

IU has given no reason to make us believe they'll get this one right.

I already knew this was happening I tried to tell everyone earlier. Good thing Dolson had a plan.

At the minimum, IU is in the position of starting the search early and with NIL that few can beat.

Yup, IU hired me, I haven’t played basketball since 3rd grade, but I’m well rested!
