"Iowa fans actually paid less than people think for this year's mediocre roster that missed the postseason and got the coach fired" isn't the sick burn that Patrick thinks it is.
Correct. Iowa fans got ripped off and are the real victims.
Patrick is such a little bitch
The “shit talking” was a hot mic situation though. The gorilla comment was just an old guy being an old guy with no ill intent. It was insensitive. He did his penance with appropriate sensitivity training and admitted fault. The McCafferys were always at odds with Dolph.
Exactly, words do have meaning. He didn't say giant ape, he said King Kong, a well known pop culture reference that's been used to call a person physically dominant a million times before
Payton couldn't afford a driver with the 300k he got?
He is the victim in all this, not enough to get a new driver.
King Kong ain’t got shit on me.
We should just let the new coach hire their son-in-law. I’m sure that’s the best choice out there.
Sounds like they will.
Dolph should’ve made Fran apologize for his guard recruiting.
One can be not offended and still think Dolph is a tard who shouldn’t be on the radio.
Meh, it’s the radio…wgaf
Outside of the obvious, the most noteworthy thing that came out yesterday, is that Goetz appears to be directly trying to secure NIL and not working with Brad.
Coincidentally, that's also my dream job.
If someone (likely a McCaffery) had not emailed the athletic department, would anyone have even noticed?
Yea that's fair
If you're the coach, you HAVE to make a big deal when your own radio guy talks shit about one of your players.
Another glaring sign of how worthless the collective Iowa media is
Who knows, maybe this will work out for him and nobody will care in a week, but can't think of many times this stuff works out where the agent is pressing to back out on handshake deals and press for more and more money all while abandoning any real principle.
The number of times that man has to correct himself when simply reading off the printed box score....................dude just needs to retire FFS.
except that guy could get us a good PGAlso, this...
Yeah, and if only they would endorse road rockets it would have been a match made in heaven. JFC.
That’s the part that really surprises me. Yes, it was more money, and more money to work with. But you are the fifth choice versus the clear top choice. That would matter to me.
Again, I get his hesitation. It's a fuckton of money and Iowa is no slam dunk with a cavernous outdated arena and lack of NIL and fan support and a program that is currently #4 or #5 in the list of importance in the athletic department. Indiana doesn't have those problems, but has the other problems I listed.
If he got Iowa to a Sweet 16 in five years, he’d get pretty much whatever he wants. It’s also an opportunity in time for someone like him to become a king as KF fades away. Already coming in as a favored son on a super long leash.
If Iowa had better NIL, most of these guys would be playing in the MAC.
It doesn't have to be the agent employing principle. He's in it only for his immediate pay day. DD could have very easily overruled him and stuck with the handshake.
It's hard to say in his shoes I would have done differently. I absolutely do not begrudge him taking the money. Another guaranteed $1-2M per year for even 3 years is money most people couldn't fathom.
Agreed, but have seen times where the pressure and quick turnaround can make people lose themselves. Agents especially can be manipulative and pushy.
I think its Final Four or bust at Indiana. Especially now with them publicly committing a shit ton to NIL.
My dream job is the one that pays the most, but also with no responsibilities.
They had already committed a shit ton of NIL, that's not really new.
scummy but doing scummy things that are now un-scummy
