Do they go internal with Jensen or hire Baranzyck?

If you didn’t like Iowa’s defense under Bluder you’ll love Baranczyk. Good coach. Defense optional.

Beth Goetz asking if it’s too early to ask for a raise

I think they’ve got the money to get Jenny back but wouldn’t surprise me if they let Jan Jensen get her shot either.

Ferentz, Fran, and Brands along with Bluder have been around forever. She got out before people tired of her like they did with the other three. Maybe she just has fantastic timing

I liked Bluder because she reminded me of every other 60ish woman in Iowa.

which you would think having waited this long into the spring
Or she could have had something happen in her personal life recently (e.g., health) that required the sudden announcement. It's all speculation at this point.

Anyway, back-to-back National Championship games with a generational talent is not a bad way to go out. Good for her.

I don't think they probably lose out on anyone. I'm sure recruits like bluder but when you replace her with someone who has coached alongside her since forever and keeps the staff intact (I'm assuming), it's probably going to be a smooth transition

How do they immediately hire someone? If mens basketball did this there would be someone screaming for due hiring process
