Okay, I'll play. Are you just incapable of keeping your issues straight? You said Iowa was guilty of nepotism. All I said is your program has EXACTLY the same dynamic, with the HC son working for him, (like 40% of ALL P5 school have by the way), and two sons playing for the bball coach. The issue with Iowa is the results that Brian is getting, and not that he's Kirks son. Before you or some of the rock heads here go there Kirk doesn't fire his assistants. It has little to do with Brian. The only two guys he's ever fired lied to him and cost us a half dozen recruits in the Eno Benjamin mess. He's loyal to a fault, which is also why we keep alot of other really good coaches here like Phil Parker. So should Fran not have signed Patrick who was a top 100 player coming out of high school? CMac was a role player also , and a pretty damn good one who let the nation at 4 1/2 to 1 TO to asst ratio and a solid leader for our team.
