Maybe I have a slight reading comprehension problem . So according to RTZ info , it’s NOT Stevens but we think that Scott Dolson has had our guy locked up for a while now because of the lack Of leaked info ? 

So RTZ sources have been saying it's Brad for a while. But he also has a friend who is big in the world of CBB and yesterday he met with him to see what he was hearing. So basically the national media is not hearing anything about the IU job and just throwing out the same usual names.

Yes. Also I’ve only told a select few who that is so please keep that quiet. 
 

I’ll respond to everyone’s DMs later. I have a million.

I don’t get why if Dolson supposedly has known who the next coach would be for months, the scheduling of the games has nothing to do with the next coach? If you have a coach in waiting, wouldn’t you get their opinion on scheduling? Seems unlikely they would know months in advance. Maybe a good sense for their options, and now do know. Maybe. Looking forward to announcing a really good coach. 

In my opinion, the most likely scenario is that Dolson does not have his guy, but that he does have a strong list of top (maybe 3-5) candidates that he is extremely confident he has the resources to land and maybe even has back-channel high interest from a couple. 

The telephone game has probably turned that into "Dolson has his guy" by the time that info has gotten to places like this and other fan message boards, etc.

Will we be popping champagne or cracking open a PBR?

I was not at the Purdue game so I'm not sure who was the happiest but this person was wearing all black at the Purdue game. It was kind of a weird look.

Also I noticed that none of the people putting up any money in this search were there last night. 

We already said who it was and what the puts and takes are. And when the announcement will be.

But we have to make sure the word does not get out.

Sorry.

He’s talking about the writer?  Correct?

Tend to agree. Looking forward to IUBB being fun again. It’s been way too long.

No matter who we hire I will probably open a beer. I was just telling RTZ his info is safe with me

A guy on the Rivals board says Whitten nixed Dolson from hiring Beard.  I highly doubt Dolson can hire whoever he wants.

My guess is Beard may (or may not) have been on the list of backup plans and she drew a line through his name. No need to even contact him, sort of thing.

Assuming any of what the guy said is remotely true

Coach search watch guide 

none today 

although it still should be 

Michigan/Rutgers 9 peacock

while you are here you might as well watch a fantastic coach that won’t be considered for IU but is a really good coach 

St Marys/LMU- 11 Cbssports

Absolutely! I'm super confident we'll get a good coach that has IU contending regularly again! 

I've said a couple times, but this Galloway, Rice, Leal, Goode, Ballo/Reneau lineup has made watching IU fun again the last two games. 

Wish it didn't take the staff so long to figure it out.

So it won't be Mike Rhoades.  That's a relief.   lol

[Capt. Crimson 3,721]

I hope he understands how that comes off. Like Scott Dolson is telling him what is going on knowing good and well he will run to a message board and say it. Scott is probably not even telling Heidi (Wife) who he is hiring at this point. 
He said the same thing yesterday and it was refuted by everyone. We know there has been more than a 5-minute Zoom. 
Brad might not be the coach like all of us have said but he doesn't know any more than the rest of us. 

I can say with 100% confidence he isn’t telling family members right now. That’s about all I can add to coaching search news. Lol.

People need to get over this.  Louisville and Kentucky didn’t hire him and writers have said there is more out there on him that schools hear.  Just think about it….dude couldn’t handle the Texas job….Indiana would eat him alive. He is Billy G.

Sounds like to me Dolson may have a verbal agreement with someone already to be our next HC (which would be a great sign)

If he were to have been rejected by multiple candidates, then he would be reaching out to multiple agents to gauge interest in if their client would have interest to become next HC at IU. There are too many people in that communication chain for nothing to be leaked out. We haven't really heard any official names or anyone turn the job down at this point. I don't see him waiting until the end of the season to starting lining up the succession plan. He will want the next HC to be announced as early as possible so they can start recruiting and preparing for the portal.

To me this shows he has been working on this undercover and not involving too many people. If he has an agreement already, then we must have gotten one of our top targets , if not, the top target. Dolson is not dumb, I trust his ability to find the right fit for IU.

Are you sure you're not Sam Story? I'm just messing with you. I appreciate you always bringing back to reality whether I agree or not

Dolson has his man already locked up.

No, Dolson doesn't have his man already locked up.

Yes, Dolson has a list and he's checking it twice.

Am I missing anything?

I read on the internet that confirmation bias is a myth and I believe that to be accurate.
