I was wrong, time to go Fran. Who can we get for the next Coach?!

[Ladell-hawk]

Alan Huss at High Point
Mike DeGeorge at Cal Poly (probably too old)
Tobin Anderson at Iona

Never heard of them.

 

[perryhawk]

Ben McCollum is the answer if we can't get DeVries.

Agreed

 

[HawkeyeGenius]

Herb Sendek

 

[Hawksfinal4]

Can’t likely get him but I like Porter Moser from Oklahoma

 

[perryhawk]

I don't know yet. D2 stallion. Awesome year but lost at UIC.

I don’t find any record of him ever coaching at UIC…he’s won 81% of his games.

Lost their last game at UIC

Gotcha….. I guess I would look at the overall record. I think Devries would be the guy IF we can get him…if not, I think this guy would be a good choice.

 

[Fran-Con-2]

Take a look at and vet Chris Jans.

I know he isn’t squeaky clean - he got fired at bowling green after someone recorded him drunkenly slapping a women’s backside at a college bar. That alone might put Iowa officials off of him.

But he has a very strong resume otherwise, winning 4 WAC championships in 5 seasons. He also has much more D-1 experience than McCollum, making him a safer pick in that regard.

My one concern is that he only has 1 NCAA tournament win in 8 years . . .

 

[intrepodor]

Decade and a half and Iowa still plays zero defense or rebounds as a Team, They only play token defense and token rebound when they have 1 or 2 Players on the roster who excel at it but it is not the norm , oh and how many NCAA tourney wins has that fraud Fran won at Iowa in 15 Years and People are actually debating whether He should be fired? He should have been fired long ago if Barta wasnt the biggest mental midget to ever be put in charge of large amounts of money , I would dig up the bones of Frank Lauterbur and know His remains sitting in a bag on Fran's seat would improve the Iowa Coaching and recruiting and He wasn't even a basketball Coach .

This is strong.

 

[AIAHawk]

How about Steve Forbes at Wake Forest? Already has 2 Iowa guys on staff. He's a proven winner at different levels. Not sure if he would have interest, but certainly worth the look.

 

[chesapeake bay dog]

Check with Chris Collins and gauge interest.

 

[obfuscating]

It’s one game. Shit happens. Heck, two times defending champion Connecticut was blown out by Dayton earlier this season. How the team responds in future games will be telling.

How many tournament games has he won?

I think he is the fallback option, and I personally would be a little disappointed with this pick.

He has been good but not great through 4 1/2 seasons at Wake. Zero NCAA tournament wins through 10 seasons as a D1 head coach. And he’s almost 60.

I’m just not sure he would be a substantial upgrade over Fran

 

[the notorious r.d.m.]

Never heard of them.

Alan Huss was a former McDermott assistant at Creighton. Won the Big South COTY in his first year as a D1 coach.

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

How many tournament games has he won?

4 tournament wins in 14 seasons.

Is that good?

Forbes might have been a hire 5 years ago. But I think that would be a lateral hire for Beth and probably wouldn't inspire much excitement around here.

10 creampuff OOC wins each year and 7 or so B1G wins against mostly bad B1G Teams and then get a NIT invite or actually get in the Tourney and get bounced is Fran at Iowa in a nutshell and Barta swallowed the hook, People who have seen good Teams and good Coaching for Years and do not live in a biased bubble know Fran is not a Coach who will ever take a Team to the final 4 , EVER. Fire Him at end of Season if He does not retire and get a Guy who can actually Coach all phases and can recruit better than an intern .

This is exactly why Tom Davis was set free. People were saying this about him as well and they weren't wrong.

 

[Gus is dead]

I just want someone that excites the fan base.

 

[ROCKY MOUNTAIN HAWK]

What about Chris Collins for our next coach?

I always liked him & would like to see what he could do with a little better talent.

Plus he might be ready for a change.

He’s done all he can do at Northwestern.

 

[chaneccooms]

At a school like Iowa in the NIL era, an exciting hire is really critical. I’m a substance over style guy generally, but you have to get a coach who will excite the fanbase to open their wallet.

It would definitely be worth a phone call.

Collins would probably get Tom Davis results, meaning a lot of 1990s with one or two 1980s Davis teams.

I think most Iowa fans would be happy with that.

 

[chaneccooms]

It sucks for her, but the process for Goetz needs to be that she polls at least the 10 biggest current or potential donors on who they want the coach to be. The majority of the decision needs to be based on what amount of NIL donations comes with each potential candidate.

 

[shanksit44]

Also, can I get a coaching job at Iowa? Just get straight up paid for mediocre results.

It’s happened before, so yeah, go for it.
