More often than not these Iowa hires come out of left field. I'm expecting that, and not someone named McCollum or DeVries.

Fran came out of no where

The Fran hire had no clear front runner or front runners like we do this time.

I can see McCollum being more successful at Indiana than devries is at Iowa, but maybe devries is the better fit and would do better here. We are lucky to have 2 great options so close to home.

I hope Iowa gets him, but lol at the idea that DeVries would finally be the guy to return Indiana to the glory days after so many have failed. They totally won’t have unrealistic expectations and fire him in a few years either.

no way iowa wins that and really no need to as well. move on to the next candidate because it doesn't make sense to try to outbid indiana. if you do outbid them, you've spent resources that devries would need to build the program

Lol. If it comes down to that we'll be looking at McCollum.
I anticipate being in a bidding war with West Virginia if that happens. WV AD was AD at Northwest Missouri State while McCullom was there. He interviewed McCullom last year for the job and would likely have him circled as the #1 candidate. Iowa can't miss out on both, right?

If they do miss both, who are the top candidates? I assume Jans still wouldn't get a look. Forbes does not excite me at all.

Fran has no interest in taking a year off to hang with Marge and watch one of his shithead kids play ball
