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

[PoopyFaceTomatoNose]

Hire Jeff Horner!

 

[Soda Popinski]

They're just going to promote Gatens and be done with it.

 

[Saul Berkley]

If she gets Ben, we’re good.

If she doesn't?

 

[L. Wade Childress]

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.

the program needs an immediate hit. McCollum will not sell a single additional ticket.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

If she doesn't?

Not good

 

[HiawathaHawk]

If she doesn't?

Then we could still get a good coach but the PR hit will be massive and I worry attendance and NIL won’t improve much next year. Will be an uphill battle.

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

When considering a new job, this should be the first question you ask yourself:

---Will my boss be a woman?

If the answer is yes, do not accept this job.

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

Often in life we get what we deserve

 

[Hawk&Balls]

The tournament was going to be a lot more enjoyable with all of this behind us.

 

[Mysterio]

if beth is focusing on mccollum now that bitch better work quick before other jobs open

 

[26.2]

If Ms Goetz truly booted Fran without having Devries/McCollum in the bag, then she fucked up big time and really has me worried about hiring Kirk's successor.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

If Ms Goetz truly booted Fran without having Devries/McCollum in the bag, then she fucked up big time and really has men worried about hiring Kirk's successor.

Men seem to be pretty worried about this position too

 

[Lee Beevers]

Men seem to be pretty worried about this position too

Got him!!!

 

[Jim Tebow]

It looks like DD may have planted this IU rumor to retrade on his agreement with UI. This smells like beth backed out when it became clear DD is trying to get a bidding war going. I think most likely outcum at this point is DD stays at WV. The whole IU thing seemed manufactured to me. No idea who we get but firing Fran was still the right move.

 

[HerkyHopeful]

Beth wasn't AD for the Fran hire. My faith is with her

Ahem

We didn't want him anyway!!!

 

[26.2]

Ahem

My faith will drop through the floor if she truly fucked this up. Rumors aren't enough to make me throw the Beth towel in!

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I still have no reason to think it’s not DeVries. An agent’s job is to get their client the best deal and many candidates share agents. IU would have announced something immediately after that leak if it were truly imminent.

 

[UNICats]

They will get a nice bump from all of the NW Missouri fans coming out to worship the ground he walks on. You know, Once a Bearcat, Always a Bearcat.

 

[Dr. Zaius]

I’m still hoping that somebody is feeding these people shit deliberately

 

[ISUFan98]

How the fuck does Iowa not have any money with all these rich ass doctor and lawyer graduates?

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Rich.lawyer or doctor isnt a sugar daddy

 

[ddevries]

I think I’m ready to leave Morgantown.

I didn’t say where I was headed. Blame jogger.

 

[Mysterio]

How the fuck does Iowa not have any money with all these rich ass doctor and lawyer graduates?

thats what i dont get. iowa has more money than some of these fucking schools. its sound like posturing. i never thought devries would end up here but mostly because one year is too quick to leave wvu for any job other than a traditional power. there's like a dozen of those jobs

 

[Dr. Zaius]

Does the John Papajohn family have any more money?

 

[26.2]

I didn’t say where I was headed. Blame jogger.

The only thing you can blame on me is your sister needing that abortion

 

[Hawkstrat]

Flight tracker shows Brad flew home not too long ago. I assume they couldn't get DeVries the money needed to construct a roster.

 

[Floyd R]

How about BJ Armstrong!?!

 

[TurdBurgler]

Mccollum is a good choice. Make it happen beth. He's not going to west Virginia.

 

[Mysterio]

mccollum should be cheaper with fewer demands. still need to come up with money if they want to be anything other than a basement dweller playing for conference tournament berths

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

How the fuck does Iowa not have any money with all these rich ass doctor and lawyer graduates?

I don't think that egomaniacal people typically give to these sorts of things.

 

[Czarcasm]

I don't think that egomaniacal people typically give to these sorts of things.

That's exactly who gives to these things, at least on any meaningful level.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

We are getting Devries.

What won't Ivan ruin

 

[ivan_drago]

Fuck off.

 

[kmurp]

How the fuck does Iowa not have any money with all these rich ass doctor and lawyer graduates?

They aren’t billionaires.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Fuck off.

 

[Stu Beagle]

Doctors and lawyers are a lot closer to being lower class than they are to the elite wealthy

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

That's exactly who gives to these things, at least on any meaningful level.

Not the Dr/Lawyer types.

They are Gods. We should be giving money to them.

 

[Herky823]

Just crazy that Iowa couldn't lock down this hire. Is his wife from Terre Haute or something?

 

[CamelTones]

Just crazy that Iowa couldn't lock down this hire. Is his wife from Terre Haute or something?

Thought I read she was from the Quad City area and went to North Scott.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Man. I almost cared again.

 

[Uli Kunkel]

It's too bad the Krause family would prefer to lose money with Italian soccer clubs than UI athletes.

 

[Herky823]

Thought I read she was from the Quad City area and went to North Scott.

Damn. If this happens just one more time I'm going to start doubting the gravitational pull that a wife's eastern Iowa hometown has on high level coaches.

 

[nolookpass]

Indiana offered him 7 million. Iowa 3.5.

I had hoped there'd be no math.

 

[Lil Scamp]

I predict Alford to Indiana, McCollum to Iowa, DeVries a massive raise at West Virginia

 

[Shawneemicks]

Alford lol

 

[BillyBob]

stick a fork in iowa basketball, boyz.

 

[Shawneemicks]

Gary & Fran already did

 

[B19Rob]

Marge definitely did

 

[Debit One]

Indiana offered him 7 million. Iowa 3.5.

I had hoped there'd be no math.

If true, Indiana is making him the 4th highest paid coach in NCAA basketball.

There is no way that Iowa is going to compete with that.
