He would be on the top of the list to replace Fran. He was assistant at Grand View before I went there in 97. Great guy and would be a big time hire when FM hits the road…

Iowa needs to hit a homerun with a Shaka Smart or John Calipari type hire.

Not really looked into his resume. He appears to win wherever he goes. Not sure he's leaving MSU for Iowa but when Fran leaves, I say we inquire

My old Coach Wags is an assistant with him. They both went to Loras and have roots here! I would love to see them finish there coaching careers at Iowa!

What has been his behavior since Bowling Green?

I think it's safe to say a very valuable lesson was learned at BG.

Yeah, sure. Better yet, why don’t they just coax Coach K out of retirement? Or maybe Jay Wright wants to return to coaching, yeah?

Great idea, Rico. You’re onto something here.

Can he recruit urban basketball players and convince them to come to Iowa City?

Yeah, sure. Better yet, why don’t they just coax Coach K out of retirement? Or maybe Jay Wright wants to return to coaching, yeah?

Great idea, Rico. You’re onto something here.

Jay wright has said in multiple interviews that his dream job is Iowa but we need someone younger. Bruce Pearl would crawl over a mile of broken glass for the job here but he's a bit much when it comes to the culture fit. We can do better.

We'll have our pick of top 1% caliber coaches. Just like last time, and the time before that.

If we're going to hire a new coach, I don't want to be saying, "Who?" (Not talking about Jans, just a coach in general)

There used to be a groundswell movement to draft Steve Forbes. He seems to be turning the
Deacons around. Is that over?

I know he is a polarizing figure, but I would go after Bruce Pearl hard. Don't know if he still appreciates his time here with Tom Davis, but he has won everywhere he's gone and he is as fun as hell!
