I'm not saying I believe Stevens is signed sealed and delivered....but if he was, and had been since February, why would he have had to try to lock up Ben McCollum?  I mean if Brad was the guy and had a verbal as has been mentioned (again, I don't know that he has), he wouldn't be locking anyone else up...  

just a thought

Yep that makes sense. You don’t need a “back up” if you’ve got an agreement in place with someone already.

Gosh you guys.... I went to the game yesterday.... just now catching up.... and I'm 120 pages behind. Love you all. Anyone care to summarize?

Woodson is done or almost done. We're hiring a coach to replace him at some point. Isaac is definitely a troll and Kathy is back. That's about it.

Another way to look at the timeline: if we don't make the tournament and there's no announcement on Monday, it ain't Brad

I'll add this: if there's no handshake deal with a coach by now, it's malpractice. Scott has had 5 weeks officially for this search (really a year) and portal backchanneling has been happening for months already. Whoever the next coach is will need to have been aware of the job they're stepping into and started evaluating the roster and potential additions. 

That’s the thing for me. I get that no one may have a signature on a contract but I find it hard to believe that we don’t have our number one target with at least a verbal agreement. What would they still be negotiating? Parking spots and PTO days? That doesn’t mean we still aren’t doing due diligence but I can’t believe we would still be at the gathering candidates phase.

This. If Dolson doesn't have his candidate locked up at this point, then HE should be fired. 

He had every opportunity in the world to have his choice of candidates due to Woody being axed half-way through the season. There's zero excuse for him not to already have an agreement worked out and ready to sign ASAP the season ends. 

It would be absolute professional malpractice if that didn't happen. Period.

I have been vocal that I'm not sold on McCollum and the risk there. But I think you can sell it to the fans (young up and comer, won at a high clip everywhere, basketball mind, respected by big time coaches, etc.) and I would rally, get behind it and cheer like hell.

Brownell...that would just be so incredibly sad. Not sure how you justify or sell him to the fan base.

I would honestly almost rather keep Woodson a couple more years, in hopes of getting someone better in a cycle or two, than hire Brownell. I'm not hoping for a coach that's been on the perennial hot seat and just a smidge better than Woodson (EDIT: I am aware Brownell made an Elite 8)...I am hoping for someone that can wake the sleeping giant.

Can we start a “Fire Brownell” thread to preemptively try to fire his sorry @$$ before any “administrators” like Cathy think of trying to hire him?  

 

I’m sure he’s a fine person and better than decent coach, but also 100% the type of hire fans should probably try to bully them out of making.

I would say if we miss the tourney and wenesday comes around and its crickets then i would rule brad out. just needs to be announced before the portal opens, and gives some time for planned roll out. just my opinion

 

to everyone who sent me a dm, i will respond as i can:)
