Steve’s hair is out of place.He’s changed.😂Nevada led Dayton 56-39 with 7:36 remaining.
Dayton then outscored Nevada 24-4 to win 63-60.
My heart bleeds for Steve Alford after blowing that 17 point 2nd half lead.
- Thread starter MeetTheFerentzes
- Start date
He had 1 season over .500 (17-15) and best conference record was 7-11. I had to look this up because when I saw “ loved what he did at Drake” I kinda thought I was the one who was misremembering his mediocrity there.
Do not like Alford or Fran:
Alford = 4 Sweet 16's.
Fran = 0
Iowa can and should try to do better. Iowa is one of the few Universities that would put up with 14 seasons of mediocrity. Please, try someone else.. Fran has had his time.
with some very good to great talent, too. just can't get the guard play we need.

that's an old pic, no coaches where suits & ties on sidelines anymore. Most are very sloppily dressed in sweats.
To be fair, three of those were at UCLA where he was always gonna have better talent at his disposal. Still, at least he got them there. Fran had pretty good talent in the 2021 and 2022 tournaments, and did squat with it.
I was just talking about that. I don't like it. I honestly can't stand comfy clothes in public in general. Airports are the worst.

Yes, Northwestern State is exactly what I thought of. One of the all-time great meltdowns in NCAA tourney history, and it's all Iowa's, thanks to that genius Steve Alford. Have to admit I enjoy seeing him suffer another ignominious defeat. It was all but impossible, but he did it.
He did turn them around and set up Keno for a nice run & payday. I don’t think Keno is even coaching anymore.
There was a poster in Miller’s old
board who defended Alford well after he left Iowa. Dude was an old time poster and thought Alford was a great coach.

He left Central Michigan in 2021 and coached a semi pro team in Michigan for a year. Not sure what he’s doing now but he’s not coaching anymore.
He should have never left Drake. Sure he got a nice payday at Providence but Drake was set up for him to succeed. He didn’t have much success at Providence or Central Michigan.
I still can’t believe how many Iowa fans wanted him as their HC.
A lot of the numbskulls that wanted Keno probably also later wanted Brian to take over for Kirk.
I do know several posters thought hiring Keno would help "make up" for letting Dr. Tom go.
If the final four occurred under his coaching and he was remotely close to being a decent human being would they overlook the PP stuff?
But we will never know as decent human being is out of his reach
Alford had a lot of guys transfer out. His Iowa teams gave up a lot of open three pointers and would often have long scoring droughts. He wasn’t a very good coach and it’s shown with his early exits in the NCAA. He’s a mid major coach and that’s his ceiling. Decent recruiter but not a great coach. He has a lot of coaching wins but his teams fold more times than not on the big stage.
Not even getting into his character. His coaching is average at best.

Actors, Schmactors…this is what should concern everyone! Bullshit and lies become more “believable”…and it will be argued that it is all “freedom of speech”…
