Is UK, UNC and Duke blue bloods?
None of them hired Beard, Wright or Stevens, so I guess they aren't blue bloods.
If IU hires BM and he comes here and kills it, will IU get you to reinstall their blue blood status?

1987 was a long time ago. Even 2002 for the F4. The time for being patient with a young coach is not now.
Personally, I'm willing and would support trying a young promising coach, Archie didn't scare me off that idea. Yes there is risk but also a very good chance that a 50-60 year old guy who is a good coach but not a great one has already shown you his ceiling. IU's "resources" are not going to substantially change that; Woodson got all the support he asked for and it made little difference.
As someone pointed out, top names swiching schools and winning big is very limited.
Hopefully Dolson identifies an up and comer who can win here a long time, with his own identity.
Hiring is always a risk. Going with a mid-tier because - "He has a long, proven, mid-tier record!" - isn't great either. It's low risk only if you're scared of a low floor, higher risk if you need a high ceiling.

Can we just offer him $12 million a year or something. He would be #1 on my list.
If the “incident” costs IU a chance to hire Beard, then JW would be the other coach that could level up IU to a national contender again.
Cancel the program if Dolson is dumb enough to hire Brownell.
It would piss me off if we Brownell before McCollum gives a solid 'No' to us.
If McCullum says no, we can do our usual of hiring the next tier down, and that may work.
If the hire is Scott's and Scott's alone, except for input from Pam Whitten, I believe whoever he picks will have a good chance to be a winner. If Scott cows to any of the idiots involved with the previous blown hirings, we're sunk.

I would go with Cig's (denied) recommendation of the Vanderbilt/former-JMU coach, Byington, before Brownell.
They haven't finished super strong but his first year at Vandy appears to be a solid upgrade over Jerry Stackhouse... (Who was Vandy's version of Mike Woodson IMO although he wasn't an alum.)
DON'T HIRE A RETREAD.

he's not. we'd have to get waaay down the list to hire Brownell
There's no way. If Brownell does get the nod, Dolson isn't at all who I think he is.
Blah blah blah. Listen to the question where it asks what IU needs to do under the coach to be successful. Painter-"how about support someone, try that once and see how it works out"... idiot.
Also.. did you hear ballo talking about getting death threats during the season, after the game yesterday? I'm sure that helps....lmao. Do you have to be told to tie your shoes after putting them on?...you sure the hell can't think without being told, just curious.
And NO where in the quote does it says that coaches have eliminated IU because of the fans. You are the one that said "deal with the putrid fan base".
That is what YOU are reading in to it. Besides, I believe the IU fan base does support the coach until it is obvious that he is not the coach to hang another banner. I supported Archie for about 2 1/2 years but realized he wasn't going to get it done.
The death threats are inexcusable and should be prosecuted if possible.
But that is hardly unique to IU.
Another poster stated that Sanford at Iowa got death threats.
There are lunatics everywhere.

The Woodson hire was not universally praised (mainly because he had no college experience), but he had plenty of "support" his first couple of years until more and more people started to see the reality of the product he put on the floor. Most people gave him every benefit of the doubt and support especially considering he had played for RMK and was a legendary player at IU hiimself. For a guy like that to come back and be a great coach would have been a dream come true. To say he didn't have support is just dishonest.
If I want advice from Painter it will be on how to shit the bed in the tournament. He's very good at that.
The point is....if Painter thinks like this about IU, it's pretty clear other coaches do too. Coaches talk to each other. And you can't piece together the fact that coaches don't want to come here after 2 underwhelming hires in a row? 2+2=4
Ballo talked yesterday about getting death threats. Still question if the fan base is garbage?...smh.
Haha...of course. Because you have no retort.
Don't forget about Ballo talking about getting death threats during the season. You are just clueless.
Very few coaches are going to say anything bad about another coach in a press conference. Of course he's not going to say "Woodson really didn't come close to the goals IU had to return the program to relevance" he's going to say some shit about unreasonable fans so that he can can maintain good relations within the coaching fraternity.
