No insights here, I was expecting an ISU sweep instead. Very happy to have been wrong.
If it gets worse then you need a coaching staff overhaul IMO. I’m not sure the athletic department or university would do that though.Boyer to Wisconsin was a huge loss. But that's part of a coach's job - to keep your good players from transferring. Best three players on the team are seniors. I'm afraid it could get worse before it gets better.
I don’t see any basis for a lawsuit. Iowa volleyball sucked under Brown with no signs of improvement. This is the least competitive I remember in quite some time.Odds the Athletic Dept. gets sued again are...?
I think it's more than won/loss record. Only a couple years into the job normally a coach would be given more time to develop her team. My bet her players (and maybe assistant coaches) were letting it be known she doesn't have what it takes.I don’t see any basis for a lawsuit.

You are what your record says. Iowa is 3-19, and they have been swept A LOT. It was definitely time to move in a new direction. Make no mistake that the task is tall to say the least given the teams in the B1G. However, to not even compete is another thing.I think it's more than won/loss record.

She was an assistant under the previous coach. She wasn't new when she took over the program. Went straight backwards under her leadership.I think it's more than won/loss record.

I don’t know many on here that follow Iowa volleyball close, please say if you do. I just know that most of us feel Iowa can put a much better product out there.As a Wisconsin fan, I don’t follow the Hawks closely but it appears to me that they played better yesterday than a month ago. Buzzerio was a killer!
Go Hawks - beat Minny!
What is Wisconsin's history in volleyball? Does it have a history of success? Big Ten teams have really been coming on in terms on national prominence. I didn't pay much attention in the past but thought Big Ten hadn't always been this good in Volleyball.As a Wisconsin fan, I don’t follow the Hawks closely but it appears to me that they played better yesterday than a month ago.

No one wants that dumpster fire.Any names been mentioned for the job
No one wants that dumpster fire.
No way.I'm guessing one of the interim co-coaches will get the job.
Iowa did that when hiring Bond. Barta isn’t adverse to hiring a proven coach in volleyball.Iowa needs to go all in on a Head Coach with proven experience winning in a power 5 conference.
No messing around with cheap assistants.
You see the huge crowds in the Big 10 conference and in the Final Four tonight? This sport is exploding.
Big 10 finals with Wisconsin vs Nebraska.
But that was a special case, with Bond being an IC native coming home. Any established VB HC will look at Iowa's history in the sport, and most recently Brown's quick termination under difficult circumstances, and think twice, then think again.Iowa did that when hiring Bond.

Who is the most successful high school coach in Iowa with connections? Take a chance. Nothing to lose.But that was a special case, with Bond being an IC native coming home.

Not really a direct comparison, but rumor was that when Looper was hired for softball, she was Iowa's eighth choice. I suspect the VB situation will be as difficult.
You thought Urban Meyer to the pros was a complete 💩 show. This suggestion trumps that.Who is the most successful high school coach in Iowa with connections? Take a chance. Nothing to lose.
