I don't think it's Woodson's decision to make...especially if resources have already been put into place to hire his replacement...

This.  He. Is. Gone.

I love the message boards but it’s really funny that some folks think that athletic department personnel are strategizing around how best to throw us off the scent lol

You don't find It conceivable that the AD's office has brought in consultants to help with clandestine operations? 

 

Neither do I.

I understand what you're saying and that might be the key to all of this and hoping you are right...there have been at least some whispers and discussions going around and if he gets key backing of some boosters again. It's not necessarily a foregone conclusion.

Real question, where have you heard those whispers and discussions?

LOL...I don't think Chris007 is trying to put me in my place. I'm not here to ruffle any feathers. Just saying that Woodson feels embolden by recent wins and there may be one last effort from him. 

[LamarCheeks 20,936]

Groce being posted as a candidate is humorous. But he was responsible for this. Still pisses me off ... 

Although Crean getting schooled, or Cody and/or Watford falling asleep and getting lost might actually have been more to blame!

Well we're moving someone into his office the day after he loses so tell him to start packing

Leal and the gang can help him pack up and sell the house at the same time.

I refuse to believe John Groce is being considered. There's absolutely no way. Is Tim Miles also on the list?

Think the plan all along was to hire a DePauw grad named Brad :)

In all honesty though, I do think Brownell is a much more realistic candidate than many want to believe. In fact, if Dolson can't convince Scott Drew to leave Baylor I bet he's plan B.

 

Scott Drew is very likely plan B or beyond already.  Bronwell would be somewhere around plan k or so in a competent search list .  You don’t think Dolson has more than one person above Bronwell that he’s reached out to?  Smh…

Honestly, it won't work, but I wouldn't put this past him.  Someone had a great quote on this board (I don't recall the poster) -- Mike will do anything to save his job, except his job.

He could not be a more difficult person right now behind the scenes.  IU needs to be careful with giving him the mic on senior night.  I cannot wait for his tenure to end.

Not at all. You're good. I appreciate what your sharing. I 100% believe Woody feels this way. I'm just telling you not to worry. We're good

Reached out too or been turned down? May and Stevens aren't coming to IU. Neither is Pearl, neither is Oats, neither are a bunch of these other names being floated. And if we aren't going to go after Cronin and refuse to talk to guys like Wade/Beard, this is what your candidate list most likely appears as of today

Tier A

Drew/Otzelberger (don't see him leaving Ames)

Tier B

Brad Brownell

Tier C

McCollum/Byington

You're vastly overestimating the IU job and how it pertains to certain candidates.

You could have just said, “you’re right Bronwell isn’t plan B, he was much farther down the list”

edit:  you should learn to use words like probably, likely, or qualifiers such as I believe, I think, etc.

When you get proper rest, you are able to reset to get prepared for an amazing week.

Huh. I finally agree on something you have posted. May and Stevens are not going to be at IU next year…..

Would guess Dolson and the administration consider Brownell a much more practical candidate than most on here. They are the ones that actually have a finger on the pulse of the situation. Those guys have to deal in reality, not fantasy land like these thread has become for the last month.

If McClasland wasn’t a Texas native, I would love to see him on the court. Dude wins wherever he goes.
