Kinda true a week out. But as we got close to the announcement day? Definitely not true, especially for Woodson.

• For the Woody hire, about three days before the hire [mention=1559]8bucks[/mention], a wonderful poster who never gets over his skis, had the hire nailed -- through Woodson family acquaintances I believe. He told me but didn't want the attribution or grief on the open board so I posted that the info came from a credible, anonymous source about three days before Woody was announced. There was a meltdown and a "how do YOU know more than the insiders" string of pushback, as there should have been. And then it happened.
• For Cig, if I remember correctly his name wasn't really mentioned until a day or two before he was announced. When his name was suddenly thrown into the mix [mention=6234]Lebowski[/mention] started singing the praises really strongly, and pretty much everybody was then was a fan of his take (because he knows more football than many of us ever will). A day or two after the board had it as a strong possibility, the announcement came.

Wait...so credible information comes from people on this board and it's not just reserved for the media figure heads? Weird...

Of course credible info comes from posters! I’ve seen Chris and Jerry share plenty of things before they’re publicly known. Maybe AP too… I don’t think anybody is right 100% of the time and I don’t think anybody except for a very small number of people around Dolson and the next coach actually KNOW for a fact though what the decision is. The way this search has been buttoned up, I don’t doubt posters are hearing stuff from legit people… just taking everything with a healthy grain of salt.

I blocked a few I consider trolls so I don't see the nonsense....Kathy would be one......a few others blocked because I dislike their attitudes...lol

I don’t block or ignore people because I just don’t get bothered by trolls or click baiters. Sometimes they are funny. But the emoji type click baiting makes no sense to me. Doesn’t bother me. Just silly.

Not referring to you specifically, but some on here call everything delusional that comes from people that share what they hear. Posters act like those that share are just lying for their own egos. I'm just glad that Stuhoo shared what he shared so that people see that others DO have information that is credible that hasn't been shared by the media.

[HoosierHuddle 421]

If the dream is dead and we move to the acceptance part of grief...I think Ben McCollum would be a really interesting hire. There would certainly be some questions but I'd be really excited for it and I think he could turn Indiana into a consistent pain in the neck for other teams to play. Beyond him: Chris Collins? Brad Brownell if he does not sign the extension with Clemson? No one cares but I'm going to write up some detailed thoughts on McCollum and hope to manifest it into existence.

Trying to reconcile Jerry saying no one knows + saying the lid will be lifted later this week (which insinuates we’ll know and they’re not currently coaching) with GP now knowing and it’s bad.  
 

Collins?

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.  

There is absolutely no way this is true.  No way in the world Dolson went through the mess last spring and has just sat on his hands the last few weeks since Woody was "retired."  I cannot fathom how anyone can actually believe this.  Now we may disagree with whatever Dolson has done.  But there is no doubt he has been working on this situation for a long time.

No offense to GP, but the guy joined the site in February. He doesn't exactly have a track record of predictive success.

It doesn't really matter at this point, its another hire of uncertainty another hey it could work maybe but also it could not and we continue the cycle. 

Was just really hoping / manifesting we could have "our program" moment. a Chance for fans to be able to talk a little sh** to the national media / Purdue and other Big Ten fans. A hire that makes them go "Woah IU isn't messing around !" 

I'm at the point where I think the most valuable thing Dolson could do right now is pay for a exorcism to cleanse this program. Starting to believe its supernaturally cursed at this point and yes I know nothing bein announced and Dolson has kept his circle small blah blah blah things are the same till they are not and right now its the SAME.

This is going to be a great week.  I'm a teacher and I'm on spring break:

1. Spring Break with the wife.  Kids are at school and the wife and I already had a morning "workout"

2. It's March Madness week and the opening rounds!  I can watch all of the games without my needy students wanting to learn something

3. IU is about to hire a great coach.

It's a great day and will be an amazing week!

McCollum on Dakich show now, saying “we don’t like getting kids who are moody, or soft…I don’t like to call kids soft, but who are soft. Ones who lack toughness. Those are the types of kids who will get you out our program real quick.” 
 

I like the sound of that. If we end up needing to go with him, it’s those types of comments that’ll get me on board in a hurry. 

[IU5355 633]

Only a few minutes in, but listening to Mccollum talk is impressive. He has a vision for the types of players he wants and mental toughness. 360 from the King. 

He also seems like a normal/likeable guy. 

[Jeff Flabjohns 2,104]

McCollum is a great listen.
Dude is a winner. Equal parts confident about being a winner and humble enough to know he’s only as good as “who he surrounds himself with”.
