That’s how I’ve been looking at it. I just don’t think it disqualifies too many likely candidates, if any, that are controversial. OTOH….Otzelberger would be out. Tommy Llyod would be out. McCasland would be out. 
 

Also, Scott Drew was like 5th or 6th on valpos list in his only season after being left a handful of starters from a really good team his dad had the year before. I don’t think anyone foresaw him doing what he did at Baylor.  But he qualifies based on his time at Baylor. 

Are you sure TJ O would be out? He HAD the record at SDSU... 2nd best season at Iowa State, as well, now. 

I would say Baylor's AD probably did.

This should go without saying obviously, but there will be no press conference tomorrow. I’ll be able to take the lid off a bit later in the week. But will say this, anybody providing details right no

I’ve had several PM’s so wanted to drop a quick line to the broader board. Love this group and fully intend to continue to contribute to the community, Im not going anywhere. (Sorry to a few of you) B

So I couldn’t get much from him unfortunately. But, to me that’s a good thing. There’s been pretty much zero chatter, nor leaks for a month about coaches. He said it doesn’t matter that the season is

"we" as in those that don't think Stevens will be the HC at IU.  

 

My guess is that if you took a poll, less than 50 percent of people here actually think Brad will be the next coach. Probably we'll under 50 percent, in fact.

Brad is the most fun coach to discuss. But that doesn't mean a majority of the board actually thinks he'll be the guy. Even Chris has said (at times, at least) that if forced to guess he doesn't think it'll be Brad.

Maynard's Coaching Hotboard:

Handicap Rankings and Rationale
(% chance he ends up at IU)
  • 1. Dusty May (25%): Best blend of fit, youth, and IU connection. His recent ascent and Michigan’s untested loyalty make him the frontrunner among realistic hires.
  • 2. Chris Holtmann (20%): Safest high-odds pick—available, experienced, and Big Ten-ready. Lacks May’s ceiling but minimizes risk.
  • 3. T.J. Otzelberger (18%): Rising star with Midwest grit; IU’s resources could unlock his peak. Buyout and ISU success temper odds slightly.
  • 4. Mick Cronin (15%): Proven winner with a chip on his shoulder. Higher odds than Donovan due to college proximity, though UCLA’s grip is tight.
  • 5. Billy Donovan (8%): Highest upside but lowest plausibility among this top tier. A splash hire if IU swings big and he bites.

Jerry as good as he is sometimes, has swung and missed on other coaching searches. I’ll be the first to apologize if I’m wrong, but it doesn’t feel right again this time. 

That is fair, no insider has been 100%. Things change sometimes so fair point, I just feel Jerry is batting a very high percentage usually.

When does Rabby typically put out his hot boards?

He said he was putting it out today. Claims he pushed it back because IU played on Saturday and want to "Give it the coverage it deserves" as if he suddenly cares about this team (trust me he hasn't since the Bahamas unless its criticism of Woodson) 

Claims there is some "new stuff but nothing major" which is his new catch-phrase.

I’m assuming it’s your last job. If it is any job you’ll just bring in a bunch more candidates.

....better yet. Ozzy's.......

I could be right, I could be wrong
It hurts so bad it's been so long
Mama, I'm coming home
Selfish love yeah we're both alone
The ride before the fall, yeah
But I'm gonna take this heart of stone
I just got to have it all
I've seen your face a hundred times
Everyday we've been apart
And I don't care about the sunshine, yeah
'Cause mama, mama, I'm coming home
I'm coming home.
 
Go IU!

TJ O is in because of his win record at SDSU.

Why do people act this way?

This list has

1. One of the frontrunners for NCOY (May)

2. A guy whose had Iowa State a top 5 team in the country back to back years (Otzelberger)

3. A coach who has made the tournament 15/16 years and has a .700 winning % in a P5 conference (Cronin)

4. A longshot that has won multiple NCAAT (Donovan)

5. An experienced but average coach in Chris Holtmann 

If those are indeed the 5 candidates, Dolson will have done an excellent job. 

Who do you expect IU to hire lol?

Ok. Steve Alford is in based on his New Mexico stint then.  
 

I think that is too wide a net to cast for the stat to be meaningful but one can use it however they like.
