General Coach Candidate News

[Asha’man]

Listened to the largest Michigan podcast today. They are starting to turn a bit concerning their team and Dusty. They don’t think they will win another game this year. Lose this weekend and 1 and done in both the BTT and NCAA’s

Yes they do. The search firm came up with a list. That doesn’t mean that’s who Scott is talking to. 

No doubt.  Just high level information gathering probably more than anything.  Putting feelers out there to agents.  Maybe connecting on a first call.  Probably not more than that.  I wish I could bill what they do for what they provide.

I won't be able to stand the constant misspelling that would happen throughout his entire tenure.

Bronwell would be the most misspelled coach’s name since Tom Cream.

Is the general consensus that Rabby knows absolutely nothing? Or does he know more than he leads on?

He definitely knows stuff, but probably sits on most of it to create suspense on his page. Hell, the meeting could be coming directly from Beard’s agent saying it will happen or it’s old information now making its wave.

Or the athletic office could be putting stuff out there to temper expectations from Stevens with them knowing Beard would piss a small portion off.  They aren’t above that.

Guys, this is all just window dressing. Scott's had his guy for a minute! Names flying around everywhere like coins out of a winning slot machine!

IU is looking at Beard, going as far as meeting with him.

If it's Beard, I am out... goin' local...

They are vetting backup options, background checks on assistant coaches, doing press conference work and things like that. But if we’re still interviewing than we’re in trouble.

They have a clear picture. There is a folder of pictures of Beard from the last search. I’ve been told about it more than once.

I sent you a DM a week or 2 ago about a group of donors that were saying Beard is a legitimate candidate.  I wonder if Rabby is getting it from these donors.  I just can’t see Dolson hiring Beard.  My son is a very involved student at IU, and he thinks the resulting protests would make Tennessee’s Greg Schiano fiasco look like baby crap in comparison.

You quoted another poster. You proposed a bet to another poster and I proposed one back to you.

 I did that because you had said it was a done deal, 100% and you were calling out people that made equally bullish claims that it was 0%.

Hey @Chris007, after that disappointing spaces, the board needs a cleanser. Are you ready to share your context about Brad and ND? ;)

[Hoosierfanyuh]

Tonight didn’t really change anything for me lol

[go iu bb]

I've always thought they (HH and Rabby) were full of **** and nothing they said made me really fell like they know anything, including the Facial Hair bomb at the end. They even said at the beginning they're not hearing anything except through multiple people removed from Dolson's circle.

In the off chance they're right and he actually gets hired? Well, the last 8 years has made it easier than ever in my life to completely give up on IU basketball.

Beard rumors will keep everybody entertained through Saturday until the real news leaks on Sunday.

He's going to share that Mark Turgeon was also at the game

I am pretty sure they are and that’s what I meant with my initial list discussion.  Not the committee.  I have zero clue on Steven’s one way or another, or any actual names on that list beyond Beard.  But as much as I saw it from close to a decade with unique window, I know the school will put stuff out on boards to control a narrative if they don’t like what’s out there.  So I don’t know if that’s them putting up a smokescreen to temper expectations or not.  At some point it will be obvious when they start flying places.
