That's big; shows how desirable this job is... Texas is one of the richest departments, in a high population state where people care more about football. Objectively, there's a lot that should make it a top job. But it's Indiana...

Which makes things really crazy if Dolson is actively going after Brownell.  Just doesn't make any sense. Or that could be a smokescreen and Dolson has had a whale on the line for a while.

I doubt anyone truly knows who Dolson is pursuing at this time, it is just speculation

Just seems strange for a guy who works in another athletic department spends so much time on a IU board. I also find it strange that an athletic office talks so much about other programs like he describes they do.

It seems strange to me for a guy who blames the fans to spend so much time on message boards talking to fans.

People do strange things. /shrug

Trilly talking about Wade wanting a shot at the IU job and not getting a look makes me think it's someone like Stevens, Donovan, Self, Few or Lloyd. Aim high!

Here's a fun question for @Chris007.

Plugged the current odds into an AI model, and asked it to but together a betting framework that would be a good mix of safe and with a good payout. Here's what it gave me.

 

Final Recommendation

Place $50 on Brad Brownell (-200), $20 on Ben McCollum (+200), $15 on Greg McDermott (+500), and $15 on Dusty May (+1000). This strategy balances the safety of a favorite with the lucrative potential of underdogs, minimizing risk (max loss $100, often less) while maximizing outcome (up to $65 profit). If you have insights suggesting a specific underdog is undervalued, adjust accordingly—but based solely on these odds, this spread optimizes the dual goals.

 

Do you take those candidates or the field?

 

I would take the field. I think McDermott has a shot, McCollum but from gathering information I think Scott has a big fish on the hook.

And if you know it's not Stevens you should be willing to bet whoever.  

I’ve not claimed to have any info or know it’s not Stevens.  Try again.

I sure hope so because if he passes on Wade for Brownell, people will be calling for Dolson’s head sooner rather than later.

I’ve seen his postings and his tone is neutral and comes across as we don’t know anything but this is what we think as outsiders , but in the business. Believe he’s definitely not trolling. And one can be a fan of an another while working for someone else.

The peegs crew released an updated hot board. The big takeaway from that is that Clemson is working on an extension for Brownell. Sign that ****, Brad!

They also say that they're hearing Collins a lot in the last few days.

Looks like the Brad Brownell dream dies a quiet death...

Would take Wade over a Brownell or McCollum in a heartbeat.

Aka every leak is by agents to get a coach a raise or to entice his dream school to offer (Ben)

I think he has a a great poster but didn't realize other schools talked so much about other programs

I hope he signs it. So if we are down to McCollum or Brownell and can't get either then who will we turn to.
