General Coach Candidate News

[SlammySammy]

I think Iowa wants DeVries but they don’t have the cash to sweeten the offer with his buyout…..McCollum on the other hand would get a substantial raise if they just pay him what they paid mccaffrey…..this is the way

Brian Evans said we should go after him if for no other reason but to make Purdue double his salary.  

Hell, why not? We've already got about half a dozen coaches pay raises this go around!

This has been the best ran coaching search I have seen.  People that are paid to know like Rabby, Trilly, and Goodman seem to not have a clue who IU is focused on.  They only know candidates they are not talking to like Wade.  We know more about the Iowa and NC State searches and the IU job has been open way longer.

Rabby posted that he believe Brownell is probably taking the extension at Clemson according to a source.  Says it's a good offer.

Thank Jesus

I’m not surprised one bit about Brownell.  He was never going to be the hire.

I think the takeaway is that what's been reported widely (McCollum and Brownell as main targets) is coming from the coaches' agents and not from the IU side. 

So whatever Dolson is doing has been to date very much under the radar and has not been reported on nationally.

I think we’re going to be good…but man, it would be a disappointment if we landed iowa’s back up in lieu of a Wade who clearly has interest…

Do you KNOW he’s Iowa’s backup plan or have you HEARD he’s their backup plan? We don’t know our priority list let alone theirs :)

Would a coaches agent leak that the ad is really impressed with the coach?  Seems weird but what do I know.

Worst decision to keep Woody. This could have been IU and Dusty. But it’s just one in a long line of bad decisions that we continue making about our basketball program. That’s why hiring Brownell won’t surprise me. It’s just what we do. 

25 years of horrible decisions and counting. And yes a BB hire would not be surprising on the least in fact it's usually what iu does.

Yes. It's subjective and could have come from compliments in normal discussions. It's much more likely than the idea that Dolson told a reporter he's impressed with McCollum.

@Hoosier987 might have more intel but the consensus from plugged in folks has been that Iowa prefers DeVries and his additional D1/high major experience. He and McCollum are both from Iowa and have spent most of their careers there or in neighboring states.

Not sure Iowa will have the cash for DeVries or the donor NIL promises to get him, in which case they’ll pivot to McC, who would prefer that job to ours for location/pressure/institutional reasons that I don’t think IU can just choose to overcome.

Would you be happy with a Painter hiring if it meant we go through a big lummox as the first option on offense?
