🤡 is having your 6’5 son with minimal athleticism and terrible shooting start at the 4 over a future lottery pick.
Steve Alford, (although he left before he could get axed). Pretty much everyone thought he was an ASS, and he bled Crimson and cream. He and Tanya hated Iowa, but like the $$$$..
What a tool. He better hope Fran gets another job and brings him along.
I understand, I really do.
His brothers abandoned the dad before Iowa did. Gove them shit
The new coach needs to give walking papers to most current scholarship players. We need an upgrade at every position. I will not be upset at all if the team looks more like a basketball team in the future instead of the J. Crew company picnic team we’ve been throwing out on the court every year.
I would go the direction of DeVries IF it were between the 2. I am not a fan of a slower paced game......even though Ben racked up the wins. I think in the Big 10 you have to be able to score AND play defense. Even MSU had plenty of offensive games in the 80s but they have that ability to drive you nuts with their defense. If it IS Ben it will be interesting to see if he brings the same style of play or if THAT style was right for Drake, their players and the conference.
Fran's family, assistant coaches, and players are going to be loyal to him, and they're going to be disappointed. We shouldn't be surprised to see some negative reactions. For the most part, I think we can give these folks some grace as they process this news. A clown or sad-face emoji or a quick comment isn't anything to get worked up about.
Yep.....100% super jerk material. They hated him even where he purchased his clothes,,,,,,did not pay for his suits and returned then at the end of the season.
Actually - the saying is you don't want to be the person who follows a legend, but the person who follows the person who followed the legend. You always want to follow a failure. You don't want to immediately follow greatness.
If she is smart, no. I’ve always been impressed, with the exception of one blip, with her ability to remain classy and neutral. That one exception being when she accepted an award then stated her white privilege was why she was great. Dumb statement.
I don't understand how anyone was surprised here. It is "life in the fast lane".
The typical dumb shit apologists here will continue to bitch but, frankly, let’s hope that KF is right behind FM. In today’s world, especially in P4-5, just hanging around doesn’t get the job done. Both of these guys should have been shown the door a decade back, especially KF. Great work, Beth. All of the I told ya sos will be on your ass next year when we rebuild, but 15 years is plenty. Let’s plant a new flag in Hawkeye athetics, one that says we shouldn’t apologize for who Iowa is, but become the dawn of a new age. Good on you!
At least Alford took the New Mexico job and saved the university some of the buyout. He proved the Peter Principle when he took the UCLA job, rising to his level of incompetence.
we finished 15th place in league
sure, if it doesn't work, you get another coach. That is how most schools operate
2-3 years is exactly how it should be. Screw these life-time contracts that Iowa loves to make.
I get that, but he would have never lasted this long at another P5 program with the same record of failures in March. Iowa was more than fair and treated him very well.
Dumping Tom Davis was the first in a long line of complete failures that have crippled the program.
It feels so foreign to have an actual AD doing actual AD things.
Let's see who she hires. Beth Goetz...you're on the clock.
