As of right now, the few people I know in media that cover CBB/IU haven’t heard anything on Brownell.  Of course that can change but that’s what they say.

Folks, I personally guarantee you that Brad Brownell is not the “big wink.” His resume is barely above Kevin Keatts’s, who was just fired. Relax and enjoy us making the tournament in 10 minutes. Nothing will be announced until Woodson is no longer HC, and right now Woodson is HC.

Reel everyone back in

Bozich is very in the know. Broke the Woodson news I think.

When you start hearing rumblings from legit media you know it’s close.

Yup. Exactly how this played out the last 2 times. People just don’t want to believe it. IU isn’t serious about basketball and hasn’t been since the 90’s

Him and about 5 posters in this thread that believe we have to be Charlie Brown forever and any time a negative rumor stars they go nuts. Maybe they will be right in the end but goodness what crazy panic.

Cool, maybe he is right.  I’m just passing along what I’ve heard.

I have a feeling the reaction IU fans would have if the hire is Brownell would be similar to the reaction Tennessee Football fans had when they almost hired Schiano....granted for different reasons. 

Me personally: I would let it play out. Would grade the hire a C- or D. Not at all my choice and it says a lot about where the program is. That being said, no hire has been made yet.

Chris - you stick your neck out…nobody should be pissed at you, especially since you’ve made it clear that you could be wrong. Time will tell. I still think we get a great hire not named Brownell or McCollum. 

This site on the coaching search has had more up and downs and sharp turns than any roller coaster ride I have ever been on. I for one appreciate what some of the poster share on what they are hearing. Sometimes we get carried away with our emotions good or bad I suppose that’s human nature. Bottom line what is posted on this site has no bearing on who ends up being the next’ coach. I don’t understand why some of the responses have to be so negative and sometimes out and out ugly. Don’t worry be happy. I may like or hate the choice but I will get on board and hope for the best. Sending positive vibes to IU community.

Thank you. I knew the big wink was real and not just something in their eye. Haha

Tyme (AH) knows his stuff. I don’t care for the guy but he knows. Bozich is confirming it. Dane Fife is endorsing it.  
 

You’re still doing this lol? Giving me way too much credit.

Let’s not forget how many of you wanted Dusty May to “prove it” at a higher level before IU would hire him. Now everyone is blaming Dolson for not acting quickly. If it is someone like McCollum (please not Brownell), maybe give him a chance.

I can only hope it is McCollum!

To add to this, does anyone really think our AD would leak a hire like this right before both impacted teams are put on TV celebrating making the NCAAT? 

[Golfman25 6,376]

I don’t give two chits.  If we haven’t hired Stevens, go get Dusty May.  Farque Michigan

The one legitimately good hire we made in the last 25 years we followed up by doing the dumbest thing imaginable.

Bozich broke the Woodson news because that's what the athletic department wanted. You're insinuating the athletic department wants to leak the news this time opposed to a formal announcement? Don't buy it. He's speculating like everyone else.

Yes I am sure he would.  Coach May would you have preferred the IU job?  Oh yes definitely.  Indiana will always be my first choice but until they offer I'm stuck with Michigan.

He could say, I probably would have said yes to Indiana, but I am very happy I said yes to Michigan and wouldn't want to be anywhere else!
