He prefers Iowa 

Apologies up front -- here comes a little snark even though you are a great poster!

• Last I checked the Iowa job is not open.
• I'm guessing he probably prefers Duke over either job.
• Dusty May was thought to prefer Louisville until Michigan explained their job to him. 
• Dolson's job is to sell the value of the IU job to whoever he feels is the best candidate. That sell can be with money, achievement potential, resources, anything and everything.
• If Dolson can't sell our job over a job like Iowa's? That's a candidate that isn't appropriate for IU anyway,  because that's a candidate that doesn't want the limelight.

OK so I didn't miss anything last night. Wonder why it has been so quiet. I haven't been able to get much info from people close to the situation since Feb 14 morning. Even when I do they will never use the candidate by name. 

I understand not naming the candidate, and the  last thing in the world I would want to do is violate their need for discretion,  but by any chance is the new coach sometimes called a masshole??

He truly feels like he did

You know Mark Titus talked about it on his show yesterday with WBR (White Boy Rick)IU fan. It is kind of interesting to hear more outsider perspective but also a guy who understands IU basketball and Titus fits the description perfectly being raised in Brownsburg. talked about the difference of the Woodson era on a Macro vs micro level really interesting stuff

After talking to someone in the know, it appears TJ Otzelberger has his eyes on staying in Ames.

Hypothetical: a contract was signed and the new coach contacts his friend (Goodman) to ask a favor.  Send out a vague message that I am not a candidate for the IU coaching position.  Scott and I have agreed to give you the heads up hours before making any official announcement.  You can say I was not a candidate because I had already accepted the position and we needed to keep a low profile to allow Woodson to bow out gracefully.

Boy, you woke up trying to pee in everyone's Cheerios this morning. I expect it from some but not you. Haha. You're getting as grouchy as old fart.

Waiting for a new poster with a name like "Happy Valley" to show up and start pimping Jerry Dunn. lol

I think that if we are discussing Collins as a legitimate option, we have fallen as a program. Is anyone else talking about Brownell??? Collins??? Buzz?? As an option for, say, UNC, or when Texas opens up? No because they are hopefully reaching higher. 
 

yes, Collins would do better than Woodson but he’ll so would Altman, Hoiberg, or Willard. I personally don’t think that means we should hire them. 

It doesn't matter who we're talking about as legitimate options. It matters who they're talking about as legitimate options.

The coaching search isn't happening on message boards. Anyone can suggest anyone and it won't matter in the end.

I like this thinking a lot.

Did somebody just use my name in vain?  And BTW have you noticed my signature on my posts?

Geez - I considered that my first 100% "Pro-McCollum" post!    :)

Another way of saying it? If McCollum is truly a bad @$$ that can win D1 championships like some think? He will greatly prefer the IU job to that lame-@$$ Iowa job.

I was trying to say your less grouchy than Stu these days. I think there is a compliment in there somewhere

Not asking they are happy to tell, just can't say the name

Didn't your say the name a little earlier in reference to a train - don't worry, I won't tell

His punishment should be to help Old Fart fetch the extra bandwidth from the crick... might need it today the way this is shaping up...
