General Coach Candidate News

[Home Jersey 12,847]

When the retirement was announced, there was resounding exuberance. The anticipation was building. We’ve had the wind taken out of our sails a few times since the top tier seem very unlikely… now people are grappling with this uncertainty for probably 2 more weeks or so. This search is starting to feel like being flayed alive lol

Mccollum was always going to get an interview, that's been the case for a while now. Some question him, which is understandable, but Scott really, really likes him and thinks he'd do well here. Has to be a 2-way street - meaning he would have to accept the job if offered - but Scott is talking to him

You new here jackal?  Interesting username…especially if referencing modern literature.

That's the thing, you DON'T know it's BS

Until I see ANYTHING outside of a message board or twitter rumor, it's BS on it's face. If you have some sort of proof, offer it up. Otherwise it's just more "Stevens and Dolson at the breaking bad house" nonsense.

I've still got faith in Scott.

Pitino and Brown never left a college HC position for another, so that's 5 coaches in 40 years (ES to UK in 1985) of college coaching hires to leave a successful program for a "blue blood" program with the last of your list being Calipari in 2009.

So I would say it's generally not a thing.

Right—but people thought that NIL and revenue sharing might change that pattern. According to what Dolson told Thamel, Dolson thought it would change the pattern. Resources was the pitch. 
 

It’s starting to feel like we and Dolson were wrong in that hope. But maybe not! Time will tell.

Why are you even on a message board if you're totally disinterested in rumors?

More than one reputable source has said that IU took a look at Beard and passed. Rabjohns, Goodman, and others.

Get over yourself dude. You didn't like what I said but that doesn't make it untrue at face value. It's not like I just made it up.

No, but when people make a flat statement like that and I know it's BS, I like to call it out.

You know it's BS?  I didn't see any reports on ESPN or anything about this.

heck @DougJr74 and @Gameface01 don't even want to talk about the search in the meantime lololol 

But you're not. Just arguing. We all know the pros and cons of everyone at this point. Guess I can just keep scrolling until I see a name that actually provides possible info

There's a difference between "I heard Joe Blow is being interviewed" and what you said, which was:

I really don't know why Beard is still being discussed. 

Discussion's over on that front as far as I'm concerned.

So YOU get to decide which rumors are viable? GTFOH

They're too busy investigating the secret breaking bad meeting, I guess.

[Hoosier Guy 8,091]

It’s Stevens until it’s not as far as I’m concerned.

This is going to be Dolson's legacy hire.  I don't know who it's going to be but I'm confident that it's going to be someone who Scott absolutely believes will not tarnish the university, can recruit at the level we need, can consistently compete on the national stage, can withstand the fishbowl of IU and most importantly wins.  

I absolutely go along with this and if the hire blows up I have a community college 6 blocks away.

I wish I could say there was no news in this search but unfortunately we have gotten plenty and none of it seems good. Rabby and Goodman will get my Benefit of the doubt over regular posters imo. Praying for stevens but realize we are probably down the list and scrambling behind the scenes. Woodson staying for year 5 is no longer worst case scenario. Hopefully he makes a elite 8 and hangs on 1 more year of we are just going to hire a prayer

So what I’m hearing is they ended up with lakefront property? jk

they trimmed their property back at that time but was left with the area surrounding the two houses in the yellow circles for a very long time, so one could say they had some sort of lakefront property after the lake was made lol.  They sold for some nice gains one could say over the past 10 or 15 years

Actually -- that is the worst-case scenario. 

Woodson is not a college coach. He doesn't recruit. He's lazy. He's arrogant (without being able to back it up). He was a very bad choice. 

Richie Pitino and Brad Brownell -- I have no interest in those guys. But I'd take either in a second over Woody.
