General Coach Candidate News

To me you just hire McCollum and call it a day. He is the most impressive of the realistic candidates and would take him over the other realistic candidates.

I've never understood why people get on a message board and try to blast people for sharing whatever it is. Go read somewhere else then. This board is what makes a lot of us happy since the product on the floor hasn't.

I agree. I used to love coming to this place but it’s changed so much. This search has taught me a lot about people in here. It’s the same people over and over. As I said contribute nothing and complain about everything. At least I’ve made some new friends along the way.

Chatter on other 247 boards suggesting Collins to Villanova and Devries to Iowa. Would be two dominoes to fall. Assuming Brownell is getting that extension, math says it's McCollum or somebody surprising which is what most of us have thought.

Some people just love to be miserable.  Even if what they want to happen does happen they'll find a way to put a negative spin on it.

Unfortunately with Iowa open, it became a very big challenge to just go hire him.

Who pissed in your cornflakes this morning?

He’s been a different person during this search that’s for sure.

BTB and GP get upset when you don’t believe them. They are much closer to Isaac than Chris or Jerry. But I’ll stop interrupting everyone’s fun, lol. Back to the AI slop of Stevens and undertaker gifs.

I wont tell anyone what to believe, but me personally, i don't think the people i mentioned are coming in here and actually making stuff up and being trolls like Isaac is. I think they are genuinely hearing it and are posting it genuinely. Now sometimes it third/fourth/fifth hand information and maybe its get twisted or stretched along the way. That is where i would say be cautiously optimistic. But at that point, that falls on each person on whether to believe it or not. Long story short, i don't think they are trolling us for laughs.

If this is the case then it is on Dolson to make the program more attractive for potential coaches. 

You mean just like UK and UL did last year

Would love to see Collins at Villanova to see what he is made of with a legit chance. 

[Hornsby 3,867]

Would try to keep it tight lipped no matter who it is I’d assume. Hopefully Dolson can beat out Iowa for likely the best coaching prospect available this cycle. If he doesn’t and we get someone very uninspiring, lol

Mccullum is very uninspiring to me. I get it you love him but we all don't.

Glad we have to wait for Iowa to make their pick at coach before we can decide. How the mighty have fallen

The Ben McCollum interview with DD was pretty good.  The ending was really awkward when he was talking about the Indiana job.  He did a pretty good job of talking around the subject.   Worth a listen if you get a chance.

I thought it was great. He just sounds like a winner. Answered questions I had about his pace of play basically saying he maximized the hand he was dealt this year with no athleticism. Played the style of ball that would help his team win the most games. A guy that makes actual adjustments. He’s not my top choice but if he’s the hire then I feel good about the future.

Love that Osterman says no journalist knows anything. It would be him if anyone would. IMO that is how it should be. I don't think it's a good thing when there is news of too many leaks in a coaching search. 

[JimmerNoe 1,041]

As much as I don’t love Dakich I realllly liked that McCollum interview man. That guy sounds like he just gets it from a program building standpoint and his X’s and O’s have been discussed plenty. I think we would be pretty good year 1 and then mostly upward trajectory from there as he installed his culture.

Some people are miserable.  A message board is their avenue to take others down with them.

I think that is just a unique situation because McCollum is from Iowa City

You love the attention especially when pushing the Stevens narrative then play innocent when questioned or wrong.
