Another extension for six years to be signed soon. Trilly confident it’s happening there. Makes sense. Because he wasn’t offered 

I’ll be relieved to hear this happens…

People actually still think it's Brownell? Man, this board has an incredible influence. 

Most people on Twitter aren’t on this board and they’re all talking about Brownell or McCollum because that’s who the media is talking about… not sure why that’s surprising or silly to so many people?

Guys I hate to break it to you, but Scott hasn’t done chit yet.  Maybe he and the firm made a list or something, but nothing specific has been done.  Nobody has been directly talked to.  No contracts drafted. Nothing.   While other schools have announced hires, IU is behind.   No way Scott keeps it this quiet.  He doesn’t have that power vs a big money booster or agent.  If it was anyone of any note It would have been announced or at least leaked already. Face it, the new guy has to get started.  Today, the entire team will enter the portal.   And while it’s not “officially” open, they will be contacted.  Renue, Tucker, and the two guards will be gone.  The new guy will have a team of zero.  Waiting because Mediocre Mike’s feelings will be hurt is a mistake.  Waiting to tell the Celtics or whomever is a mistake.   We had an opportunity to get a head start and it’s blown.  It’s a typical IU cluster farque.  

You act like we should be sad about this team leaving. And starting from zero? Huh... Kentucky and Louisville just did it and made the tourney, so why can't we? Not worried about any of that. Get an entirely new team would probably be a good idea.

I hate to break it to you, but Dolson wasn't waiting for Woodson's season to end - he was and is waiting for the tournament to end because he is a stand up guy and believes it is irresponsible to do coaching search while the season is going on. So he's not going to start the search until after the Final Four. 

I've heard from someone in IU's IT department that he asked to update blocked website to include any that discuss coaching candidate and explicitly blocked himself from using Google to search "who should I hire as the next coach at Indiana?"

It's going to be a long month.

I think this is catastrophizing a little bit but not that far off. They’ve probably been talking to candidates agents and pretty far into the process with at least a couple by now. Players may or may not hit the portal en masse. Depending on how good the next coach is at recruiting or bringing a roster with him, not such a big deal…. I do very much agree with the idea it’s a mistake to hold off announcing to protect Woody’s feelings. IMO if an NBA /not currently coaching guy is not announced today, it’s a college coach. So latest should be after the first weekened. Even if their team is still playing, the portal will be open. At that point you’re either committed and we announce this or not. If not… the search will be confirmed botched IMO.

Well…..  I’m not trying to pick on Jerry, I bet he’s a swell fellow & it’s cool that he shares some of what he hears with us, but I’d say there’s pretty good reason for the skepticism considering this is playing out just like last time, only drawn out much longer.  When he says he’Il let the lid off later in the week, it will most likely be to explain how we struck out on the whales.  I envy those of you that are optimistic it’s gonna be a big splash hire, but I’m betting it’s a dud (Brownell) or a big risk (McCollum). No one will be happier to be wrong than me.

Optimism is a delicacy these days, that is for sure...

....If it was Brownell? I mean, you're talking about plain, boring and average, Brad Brownell guys.

He's definitely a better coach than Woodson, but good grief, there would be ZERO reason for Dolson to keep his name under "Area 51", Top Secret protection. 

It's like going to Red Lobster and ordering a toasted cheese sandwich and water, no salad, and definitely no garlic cheese biscuits! smh, lol

I hate to break it to YOU but if Dolson is waiting to start the search AFTER the tournament, we are in big trouble.....Just shutdown the program while everyone else eats from the portal....sorry, its already in progress and most likely ending soon...

Not quite Breaking Bad set in the desert, but I’ll give you credit for a classic. IU’s AD has the IT department prevent him from asking Google who he should hire because A) that’s how he really wants to conduct the search, and B) he just can’t control himself

Sorry but you haven't a clue.  You think Dolson has been siting on his hands for the hiring a of a program with a 20-30min budget?  Perhaps it's not what's been portrayed on here but things have certainly been happening behind the scenes.
