Congratulations Jeff. Looks like the team went 20-11 last year, so hopefully he has a somewhat solid roster to start out with.

Get a little experience and then come back to Iowa if Fran flames out! Horner has a high ceiling and will be an excellent HC IMO

 

[funnyfletcher]

Very cool! I saw Jeff in Reno last month.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Awesome!

Very cool! I saw Jeff in Reno last month.

Yeah? Well, I shot a man in Reno...

 

[hawkguy77]

Yeah? Well, I shot a man in Reno...

Did you do it just to watch him die?

 

[moondog24]

Good for him. I hope he does well at Truman State. Jeff comes from good stock, his dad (Bob) was a long time high school coach with a couple of state titles at Mason City. Nice to see former Hawks rise in the coaching ranks.

 

[CVHawkeye]

This is great for him. I think he will be a D1 head coach someday.

Is this you?

He will teach them to play to the whistle!

Get a little experience and then come back to Iowa if Fran flames out! Horner has a high ceiling and will be an excellent HC IMO

I like where your head is at ...but he'll most likely need to put in 3-4 years at his first college HC gig, then probably an uplift from Div II to a mid-major program (or second-tier major program) for another 2-3 years before getting a call to a school like Iowa. That scenario assumes he has success during those stints.

Even then, Fran will have either flamed out well before then, or, have turned things around and signed another Barta-esque lifetime extension.

Plus, if his stock is skyrocketing, he may end up the target of a blue blood program where the bright lights and $$ are too great to resist.

 

[LuteHawk]

Most coaches spend time in the minor leagues (Truman
State) before they get to the major leagues (Iowa).
Hopefully, Jeff will work his way up the ranks and someday
be in a position for the Hawkeye job.

agree with most of this, however I honestly believe the lure of coaching for your alma mater(sp) might be too hard to pass up for Horner. I could easily see him turning down others to come back to iowa
