Going from D2 to the head coach of the Indiana Hoosiers in 2 years. That would be a hire..

Just what I read over at HSN 

Trilly said we would have to make football our #1 sport and move to Iowa (this is regards to McCollum).

Bo Ryan went from D3 to Milwaukee to Wisconsin in less than 3 years.

If Ben McCollum was Scott’s back up plan all along and he his preference is Iowa , and Scott still hasn’t locked up or his “big fish” or whatever hasn’t signed on the dotted line then at risk of this turning into a sh** show . Pick up the phone . Call Will Wade offer him 7.5 - 8 million a year and let’s get back to winning basketball games please ! 

I am not saying Dolson's a genius, but it seems like he'd know if Stevens was really an option or not pretty quickly. I've never really understood this "let me think about it..." notion. He either wants the job or he doesn't. I don't think Stevens would be this wishy washy. So if he wants the job and the contract demands were met, he'd give a commitment pretty quickly. If he didn't want the job, I don't think he'd play games and string IU along.

Iowa’s the place you go if you just want to coach basketball while having middling expectations without everything else that comes with being a coach at a major program. Fran has survived 15 years despite making the tournament only 7 times, winning 50.4% of is conference games, and never making it to the sweet 16. Sounds like McCollum just wants a job he can hide out and coach without being the center of attention. Nothing wrong with that, but this isn’t the job for him if that’s the case. 

Did Tyler Durden tell you that?

Brad Brownell enters the chat again

You people have been warned time and time again! 

[Trish]

I rather have Ben than the Clemson head coach, I'll say that. 

[Alistair Smash]

I will be glad when this is search is done. Not only because I want a coach in place, but I’m tired of laughing like a fourth grader and confused too often by references to BS and BM.

Bo Ryan went from D3 to Milwaukee to Wisconsin in less than 3 years.

Yep one guy. The mccollum love really is just odd to me after the last 8 years and archie. If he is all we can get maybe but man there isn't one proven coach we could pay 8 million to come?

It hasn’t been Stevens for at least a month now. 

Then it never was!

[Hoosier987]

Anyone know why Michael Lewis was that the game this past weekend?

[DSUMMITT]

Maybe this is all a smoke screen to hire Will Wade? SD goes after (or leaks) possible coaches that he knows are not interested - thoroughly going through the process - he knows Wade is still under a 'show cause' but has a great resume that he has to sell to the BOT/Donors - this way he can go in front of the board and say 'unfortunately this is the best we could get'....

Joking of course (unless it happens this way then I'm claiming it all along)...

I guess I would too but that isn't saying much. It means the search was bust imo if we got to this level.

I don't see Dolson hiring anyone who has an inch of bad publicity. (Beard, Wade)

How are they not similar? They both win at every stop they’ve ever been at, they both have complete confidence in themselves, they both have built programs up.

Cignetti had a lot of experience at the high major level as a player and coach before becoming a head coach. He was on the staff for Saban that landed the Hightower/Jones class, he was also QB coach for NC State and recruited Philip Rivers.

This is McCollum's only DI year ever.

His team is done playing and most likely there just for support. Some speculation was because he’s coached w/ BS before. Nothing concrete, sort of Cody Zeller esk with assumptions

If it gets to that level, we know where Indiana Basketball stands, a meh job with blue blood expectations.

Ok fair enough I guess I was just looking at it from a winning at every stop perspective
