Dolson can do everything in his power, but if no one wants the job what's he supposed to do?

Call Chris Beard!

Trust me, I am with you on that thought. At the end of the day though, if enough of the big names said no, then there is nothing that can be done except to go after someone that fits what you are looking for.

True but also if you are not willing to take a chance on guys like beard or wade nobody has a right to complain in 4 years if we are doing this all over again. Playing it safe is why we do this every four years.

I didn’t say it was, just posing a question to give people something to talk about instead of going after one another. 

And I'm discussing the topic you brought up here. I didn't say that you said it was impressive. 

[Hornsby 3,870]

Call Chris Beard!

Bingo.

If you haters don't enjoy the ride, just go somewhere else. I believe I speak for most everyone on this board when I say we very much enjoy the presence of Chris, JY, AP, RTZ, etc. Are they always right, no. Of course not. But part of the magic of this board is the deep love for IUBB and the hope that we will return to greatness. These insiders or whatever you want to call them help to bring us hope that Dolson & company are doing the right things to position us for success. Quit attacking them or go elsewhere.

So what do you guys think about Chris Beard?

Give me Wade, then give me Beard. But that'll never happen. Sadly

I don't disagree with that either. However, KS put an end to the days of IU going after anyone with a past of any kind. Had we never gone after someone like KS back then, there might be some ability to take a chance on someone now. But I think KS took away the ability to do that and not be smeared in the face for taking a chance on someone a second time.

We gonna fight? lol, jk. 
 

I definitely don’t want Brownell and I don’t think a tournament run helps his overall case as a potential IU coach. I think his coaching record speaks for itself, that his recent run isn’t sustainable.

Woody’s gonna be back, isn’t he? Doesn’t matter who’s on your list if they all say no.  If I’m Dolson & it gets down to Brownell, why pay the $8million buyout for Woody & for Brownell?  Think about that, $16 million + $5-6 annually for Brad Brownell?  SD should be fired if that’s where we end up, but if McCollum goes to Iowa, welp…

This isn't a serious thought, right? At that point you throw some dollars at Collins, Pitino Jr, Calhoun, Schertz, etc. Shoot, go talk to Fran if it gets that desperate. There are Z-tier candidates he would go to before bringing Woodson back. He is. not. coming. back.

Lol. Did anyone listen to the Curry Hicks podcast segment on Beard a week or so ago? He had Texas managers saying that Beard had gotten into altercations with his former fiance before at a team hotel in front of staff and players. Again this is not just a one-time thing.

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've been told my whole life that salt is unhealthy so I guess that means I just have to believe everything said on this board. Living in fantasy land and as well as the mood swings are surely more healthy than salt.

Honestly, they may have a decent case. Put their resume next to UNC and it seems very fishy - especially when UNC AD was the the committee chairman

Thinks more of this exact same scenario happened last time.  At the exact same message board. Everything pointed to something else, I mean everything but what random internet people here posted.  Even then nothing was said but hinted which led to people coming to their own conclusions via dreams and group think.  Many people just had fun with it but many also took it to heart and truly believed.  I'm just glad we can talk about things that are actually going on.

I'd take him in two seconds and if we don't and the new guy is flaming out in two years dolson should be canned imo.

Pat Knight wouldn't even give Beard a recommendation last time we had an opening and that was before the DV stuff. Beard is a non-starter. I don't know as much about Wade other than maybe he's just too slippery to work with? That is complete speculation on some things I read about him though. Don't take that as gospel. I don't see Wade as a risk to do something to embarrass the U as much as just be a pain for administration consistently. Beard has the potential to embarrass and divide the university and fanbase. I'm not sure Btown cops would give him as much leash as Lubbock and Oxford.

Depending on the situation maybe I could get behind a Wade hire.
