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

[BillyBob]

But it was his DREAM

 

[Geese]

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

Fuck them

 

[Gushawk]

Marge definitely did

and scarfed it down like a slathered little smokey

 

[Geese]

I still have no reason to think it’s not DeVries.

I agree. Thamel is a cunt.

 

[ISUFan98]

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

If Bill was still alive they wouldn't even need to ask him.

 

[Lee Beevers]

Man. I almost cared again.

Would you like to do a podcast on the coaching search, March madness and maybe some spring football?

 

[Czarcasm]

Indiana offered him 7 million. Iowa 3.5.

I had hoped there'd be no math.

No.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

That’s cute you thought that was a good one you fucking weirdo.

 

[Lee Beevers]

That’s cute you thought that was a good one you fucking weirdo.

Well that’s not very nice of you. I was just hoping that you would care again!!!

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Ever thought abt taking a bath with @Rolo Tomassi Bot ?

 

[Lee Beevers]

A toaster bath?

 

[Geese]

This. They wouldn't have fired Fran if they weren't in a position to pay the person they want.

 

[Bunk]

No one knows anything until contracts are signed.

 

[Fair and Balanced]

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

Mike Vravel wanted the Bears job because his wife is from Dubuque.

 

[Fair and Balanced]

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.

Scooped me, damn it.

 

[Debit One]

No one knows anything until contracts are signed.

 

[Herky823]

Scooped me, damn it.

Don't beat yourself up. The aura surrounding small past their prime midwestern towns are at the forefront of everyone's mind during coaching search season. Could have happened to anyone.

 

[Monster]

Allegedly he took his Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry...

He drove his Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry.

I scooped ya big daddy.

 

[Thanksgiving Dinner]

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.

The state of college basketball in the year 2025 does not justify spending that kind of money on a coach.

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

 

[Hawk&Balls]

3 million to miss the tournament.

This sport is so fucked.

 

[Herky823]

300k for the bottom bottom bottom team in the douche. And all this shit started with Ivan hooking up pat mccaffery with a falbos ad

 

[Geese]

Iowa secured 300k last year. New coach new rules. Beth has funds and is getting more.

 

[maxinquaye]

I blame Jobo for everything.

 

[26.2]

300k for the bottom bottom bottom team in the douche. And all this shit started with Ivan hooking up pat mccaffery with a falbos ad

Ivan tried to broker a deal with It's Brothers! for him too, but it seems Ivan is still blacklisted from there

 

[Hawkstrat]

Fran was a steal

 

[CamelTones]

Iowa spent 10% of what those teams spent, ended up with 2 fewer wins and the same post season opportunities.

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

I don’t think it’s $300k total. Just that was the most anyone player was making (Freeman, Sandfort Sr.) we were certainly less than $3 million and maybe $2 with those numbers tho.

 

[kenos]

300k for Freeman to be a lazy fatass.

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

Pete Nakos “y Fresa”

@Sal

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

It was a poorly worded tweet. I don’t doubt Iowa is at the bottom of the Douche in spending.

 

[HiawathaHawk]

Correct, $1.5Mish total this year. And that’s bottom 3-4 in the Big Ten.

 

[HiawathaHawk]

Trilly says IU finalizing the deal with DeVries. Their fans are pissed and want McCollum.

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

College basketball seems ripe for moneyball roster building. Beyond a handful of elite studs and a athletic 6’10 plus guys there hundreds if not thousands of players are essentially interchangeable. I doubt most guys who are 500k are worth 5x as much as a 100k guy. There’s still only so much money to go around at the top.

who is trilly?

 

[tallperson54]

Who is Trilly and how does he know things?

 

[Lee Beevers]

JR Koch posted on twitter that it was 1.2 million for this past season which I think was actually dead last in the Douche.

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

Apparently sir yacht’s burner account.

 

[eclone]

Who is Trilly and how does he know things?

Apparently a Mod, which explains so much

 

[The Incredible Hawk]

They will. Indiana will still suck.

 

[HiawathaHawk]

Dream job unless he can get a bigger bag somewhere else. Sad to see what happened to Wade’s boy.

Dougie Fresh Fruit: Guys, you're still trying to replace Owen Freeman. I told you we can't do it, and we can't do it. Now, what we might be able to do is re-create him. Re-create him in the aggregate.
Yugo: The what?
Dougie: Owen Freeman's points per game was 16.7. Tommy Soybean's was 10.1. Billy Hayseed was 4.2. And Harry Hometown was 2.5. Add that up, and you get…
[snaps fingers and points at Ivan]
Ivan: Do you want me to speak?
Dougie: When I point at you, yeah.
Ivan: 16.8
Dougie: That's what we're looking for. Three ballplayers… three ballplayers whose average PPG is…
[snaps fingers again]
Ivan: 16.8.

Iowa swapped out Tony Perkins for Drew Thelwell and saved a couple hundred thousand.

 

[BillyBob]

Devries prolly gets fired after year 3 at Indiana

Then he’ll come crawling to his dream job at Iowa!

 

[KitKatApples]

300k for Freeman to be a lazy fatass.

You sound like my boss now

 

[WestMifflin]

Who is Trilly and how does he know things?

Trilly Donovan is the most plugged in account. They know everything and are almost always right.

 

[Pinehawk]

This is what ToS had to say:
"Been told by multiple sources that the NIL issue was the sticking point for DeVries choosing Iowa. Sounds like SWARM was able to increase their budget significantly in terms of what they could promise him, but it wasn't good enough for him."

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Perfect timing for the Iowa Men's Basketball fan survey email
