**2025 Iowa Offseason & Coaching Search Thread***

[cloudhawk]

Lame- but typical. Not a good sign for Iowa Basketball- but what do you do. Will not be cheering him on the rest of the way.

 

[DonJMiller]

Are you faggots really put stock in what Pete Thamel says?

 

[Soda Popinski]

Pete Thamel was also completely full of shit last weekend.

 

[Dr. Zaius]

Get rid of bball and bring back men’s swimming!

 

[FrodoTBaggin]

Gotta make sure we have enough money for the Iowa Women's wrestling program!!

What were those average attendance numbers like?

 

[Hawkstrat]

Wade, get in here and take your whuppin.

 

[Kamala]

In the next several years the Iowa football head coaching job will be open as well. I hope some of you self reflect and realize you don’t actually know who any of the serious candidates are or have any insider knowledge. Despite what you think you may know, you won’t be any more informed about who is taking that job than you are this one.

 

[douglasbader]

They are going to be competing for the worst high major team next year unless Beth can pull a miracle now.

 

[Stomper15]

Trilly said it was a money issue.

 

[douglasbader]

1. Apparently it wasn’t his dream job.
2. There were two clear candidates. If we lose on him, it’s time to freak out. People on that donor call Friday got the sense that she preferred Ben.

She better have him locked the fuck up and this better be Iowa walking away and not vice versa.

 

[Dr. Zaius]

What happened to the AZ donor?

 

[Kamala]

Little too early for this victory lap, don't you think, Kamala?

No, and it’s not a victory lap. This is not what I want

 

[Saul Berkley]

Assuming DeVries is off to Bloomington, the problem now is WVU will also likely be after McCollum given the AD there was Ben's AD in Bumfuck Missouri. There's no guarantee Iowa gets Ben now.

 

[Stu Beagle]

Carver will always suck. Take whatever money you were going to throw away trying to fix it up and buy a roster.

 

[douglasbader]

Trilly said it was a money issue.

 

[Dr. Zaius]

Jeff Horner would take the job

 

[douglasbader]

"Hey recruits, want to come to a school that just got publicly humiliated for having no money??"

 

[douglasbader]

Fran and Family have to be laughing their fucking ass off.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

What happened to the AZ donor?

Bend over and @AZmessDAWG will show you

 

[The Tin Man]

 

[Shawneemicks]

Beth Barta

 

[CamelTones]

I’d like to know how they’re going to raise NIL funds off of this news.

 

[kenos]

Looks like it's time for Beth to make a run at Trent Miller

 

[Soda Popinski]

Indiana has Mark Cuban money. Ashton Kutcher needs to open his checkbook!!!!

 

[douglasbader]

I’d like to know how they’re going to raise NIL funds off of this news.

Well, here is the unexpected bonus of this, they will no longer need them because they will have a shit coach who will be recruiting players that might be happy with a small credit account at the IMU.

 

[Kamala]

What happened to the AZ donor?

Probably never existed and was a fake internet rumor

 

[douglasbader]

That sound you hear is ever small town parent in the State of Iowa leaping for joy that their Colin or Liam will have a chance to get a scholarship for the Iowa Hawkeye basketball team.

 

[Shawneemicks]

Personally I wouldn’t put a dime in the bball program. Put everything in football

 

[gohawkeyes811]

Seriously, if Goetz thought Iowa had enough clout to just go get Devries after Fran was fired, yikes. If McCollum knows he's the second option for Iowa basketball, why the fuck would he come to Iowa?

 

[kenos]

Whiff on your top two candidates

Lose the incoming class and Johnson-Arigu

Back to Criminal level for a while. This program is dead.

 

[HiawathaHawk]

Been a while since we’ve had a doug meltdown on basketball.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Personally I wouldn’t put a dime in the bball program. Put everything in football

*men's


Load up on WBB, the only basketball team iowa fans care about.

 

[douglasbader]

Been a while since we’ve had a doug meltdown on basketball.

I'm 95% trolling. 5% pissed that 30+ nights in the winter won't have shit to watch.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Tobin Anderson is from iowa, and doesn't have a buyout...

 

[Hawk&Balls]

And Iona kind of looks like Iowa

 

[Lee Beevers]

If Beth cannot seal the deal with Devries, suggestions of her girthy hog may be wildly exaggerated. It’s time to pony up and get the guy who wants the job.

Trilly said it was a money issue.

The merciless buttfuckings will commence next season and not stop. But hey- Fran thought Andy Fales was a faggot and correctly identified Cooter from What Cheer as a mouth breathing pedophile hick!! Can’t have that.

 

[gohawkeyes811]

If they whiff on the top 2, let this all be a lesson for what could happen to Iowa football because we are done being OK with winning 8-10 games per year.

 

[HiawathaHawk]

I'm 95% trolling. 5% pissed that 30+ nights in the winter won't have shit to watch.

If she gets Ben, we’re good.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Football at least isn't currently the second lowest paid coach in the big ten

 

[Uli Kunkel]

They only care about women's because they went on a run with Clark. If the program doesn't climb up from here the support will dwindle since the product is borderline unwatchable even if it is more competitive.

 

[Debit One]

Calm down, dipshits.

Iowa was never going to win a bidding war with Indiana. That doesn't mean that Fran shouldn't have been fired.

 

[Shawneemicks]

Fire Beth
I’ve had it

 

[Soda Popinski]

Beth probably wasn't expecting a flailing blue blood to come backing up the brinks truck for him.

 

[Verbal]

I would rather have Greg McDermott than DeVries. But if they can't afford DeVries, they can't afford McDermott, so it doesn't matter.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

In defense of Beth, she is most likely laser focused on sorting out the Softball situation right now. The men’s basketball coaching hire will just have to wait.

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

Fire Beth
I’ve had it

Arms crossed.

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

We still dont know shit, jsyk

 

[HiawathaHawk]

We still dont know shit, jsyk

I don’t think Thamel is that declarative unless the door is closed. Just get Ben and I’ll be like those Drake nerds wearing a tie to games. I think he could be better in the long run but it’s not an immediate hit like DeVries would’ve been.

 

[Shawneemicks]

Arms crossed.

I’m not even gonna bother

 

[L. Wade Childress]

If DD fell through then it doesn’t fucking matter who we get and this was a royal fuck up.
