Anybody have any insight on what direction Gary Barta is going to take the Iowa Baseball program? I've heard several names tossed around, is he going to throw the bank at Heller? Attempt to get the names from Dallas Baptist we've heard?

This is correct. I've been told the Gary reached out to 5 initial candidates to see if there was any interest in discussing the position. Gary got 5 thanks but no thanks responses. Right now the top to candidates are a current assistant from the Missouri Valley and a head coach from a NAIA Division II program.Originally posted by uirx2002:

Keep on, sometimes the first response is no, but pursuit can lead to yes.Originally posted by 73chief:

To hell most likely.Originally posted by IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life:

The individual telling me this did not give names. I think it is safe to say that Heller was one.Originally posted by IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life:
Who were the initial 5? Throw out some names for us please.
I just don't buy this, and I think your friend is feeding you a line of B.S. to sound connected.Originally posted by 73chief:

Same friend that told me Fran McCaffery would be the next Iowa Basketball Coach one week after Lickliter was fired. Same friend that told me exactly who the two new football coordinators that would be hired about two months before they were announced. Same friend that told me Iowa was getting the 2010 Orange Bowl invite in late November when everyone was talking exclusively about the Fiesta Bowl. He is far more connected than both you and I combined.Originally posted by LincolnHawk:

Barta would have had to put out feelers before he fired Dahm. He knew he was going to dump him (gave him the "lets see how the season finishes" standard line), then gave himself an out if nobody was interested. He could have retained Dahm if there REALLY was no interest. Barta is too smart to dump Dahm and not have a plan.
There's really no incentive for an assistant from the south to come to the midwest. They would be better off going to a top end D2 school in the south to make a jump to a big D1 after that. That's the issue. Top players don't want to play in the midwest and top coaches don't want to coach here.Originally posted by LincolnHawk:

I'm hoping it's a young upstart assistant from the SEC or somewhere south (like Texas, etc). Somebody who is connected to southern recruiting and is looking to build his own program.
I'm just not excited about hiring another midwestern coach, or somebody who is currently located at another school in Iowa. What does that do for you? It's not like we have tons of instate recruits that we need to retain. We need somebody who can go into Texas, Georgia, Arkansas, etc and get those players.

Not true. There are people all over the country in different industries that have been told this, don't take that job, don't go there it will never work, etc. It's called having balls and enough belief in yourself and ability to change that outlook.
What the hell do you think people were telling Hayden when he was thinking about taking the Iowa job.
It isn't easy but if you find the right person it can work. Will it when it comes to Iowa Baseball? Who knows but it is possible.

I understand examples, I usually use good examples that have relevancy. A school being bad at a sport and a coach coming in and building it is one thing, a complete section of the country that is at a disadvantage due to weather is another.Originally posted by Hoffahawk:

Its called an example if you can't follow along. Iowa football was much worse off than the Iowa Baseball team currently is when Hayden decided to come north.
My point if you didn't catch it that having success at Iowa in baseball can happen with the right coach. That is all.

Really? IWCC has won National Championships in baseball against warm weather (Texas) schools, using the weather as an excuse for not winning is actually a copout, when a Juco in Iowa has won it 3 times.Originally posted by cg8284:

They said this on Omaha news a couple of days ago. I don't see it happening.Originally posted by HeyDeyJay:
Ed Servais, really?
Ed's home field is the home of the CWS, and this past season they ranked #16 in home attendance, ahead of Nebraska, who came it at #25
Creighton just got a brand new indoor practice facility, and the Jays are very young, freshman pitchers accounted for 12 victories last season, which matches the last four years combined.
Don't hold your breath on Servais moving to Iowa City.
So now you're comparing JUCO to D1? Well northern D2 football has been really good lately, why can't the Big 10 beat the SEC? They have nothing to do with each other.Originally posted by Arbitr8:

Someone (you know you) uses the weather as an excuse? for not being able to compete in baseball, I stated a fact that a team in Iowa wins National Championships against warm weather opponents.
And you make some crap comment about comparing JUCO to D!.
