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

No it isn't.

Iowa hasn’t had a native Iowan as HC for over 50 years.

 

[Wanderer]

^^and that is why the program is the way it is.

Yes, because Fran was an Iowan through and through.

 

[rodg12]

McCollum is killing this press conference. Absolutely slaughtering it.

 

[nolookpass]

First question:

"Coach, are you going to do something about that hair?"

I think he goes to your barber

 

[Hawk&Balls]

 

[AZmessDAWG]

McCollum is killing this press conference. Absolutely slaughtering it.

Where is it

 

[rodg12]

Where is it

 

[Brownzy]

 

[douglasbader]

Maybe @CamelTones or others know better, but I get the distinct impression that coaches in other sports aren't exactly upset that Fran is gone.

 

[OlePeep]

Kakert given the consolation of 1st question

 

[douglasbader]

This fucker reminds me a bit of @MikeyJoe .

 

[L. Wade Childress]

McCollum is killing this press conference. Absolutely slaughtering it.

he’s very polished.

 

[Saul Berkley]

Haha. Ben took a shot (maybe not intentionally) on Fran's style of going after refs.

 

[Saul Berkley]

This fucker even understands how to manipulate scheduling to make the NCAAs. He's a nerd, I love it.

 

[BBK]

I think he goes to your barber

Thankfully he doesn't go to your Dietitian

 

[newsbreaker]

You can feel the confidence. That man thinks he knows how to do this, is super thoughtful about it, and has evidence to back it up.

 

[douglasbader]

That is when I thought of @MikeyJoe . I bet McCollum's wife makes him read the latest Pottery Barn catalog as well.

 

[douglasbader]

Thankfully he doesn't go to your Dietitian

"How to lose the same 15 pounds 50 times".

 

[Kerky]

I can see Kirk liking a lot about this guy.

 

[Herky823]

This fucker reminds me a bit of @MikeyJoe .

Rude. Give the guy a chance.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

He’s not shy about wanting the white guys back.

 

[douglasbader]

I like he's a ball buster as well.

 

[rodg12]

I like he's a ball buster as well.

Absofuckinglutely. Took a shot as his assistant. LOL

 

[Saul Berkley]

I can see Kirk liking a lot about this guy.

He def has a little Ferentz quality about him.

 

[HerkyHopeful]

"ask intelligent questions"

 

[Saul Berkley]

I have no idea how many wins McCollum will get but he is going to kill it on the I club circuit with Tom and Betty from Grundy Center.

 

[UnKnOwN_SeRb]

This guy sounds like he got his dream job.

 

[rodg12]

 

[HerkyHopeful]

Step 1 to having a full carver: not having your douche bag kids tell Iowa fans they suck

 

[Iowatheltics]

 

[Brownzy]

Hey coach, you want to get a quick tampering suspension and answer my questions about specific players who may or may not be in the portal yet?

Iowa media....fucks sake.

 

[douglasbader]

I love his story about Hawkeye camp. Iowa used to put on Hawkeye-Bandag camp for free every summer in Mousecatine and Bruce Pearl was my coach for multiple years there. Great memories.

 

[Uli Kunkel]

I enjoyed him thanking the coaches since Lute for building up the program but omitting Alford and The Criminal

 

[eclone]

James Winters was my coach at Dr Tom's Iowa camp. Coolest dude I had met in my life to that point. But I was glad he didn't pick me to demonstrate box out drills, I was terrified of size of that man's quads and ass.

[douglasbader]

LOL Kakert the first guy licking his ass after the press conference. Waddled right over to enthusiastically shake his hand with his mouth open and starry eyed look. What a loser.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

This guy sounds like he got his dream job.

behind Indiana anyways.

 

[douglasbader]

6 year, $20m+ contract. $3.35m the first year.

 

[douglasbader]

Yeah, it was fantastic he skipped right over Alford and Lick.

 

[CamelTones]

I’m not sure recruiting is going to be a problem for him. Mothers are going to love him.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

After today Dolph will be calling beth king dong

 

[ivan_drago]

I’m jackin off in just a tie.

 

[Brad Wesley]

He’s not shy about wanting the white guys back.

His first team is going to be whiter than Fran’s average roster.

I’ll allow it year one as a transitional roster.

 

[douglasbader]

I’m not sure recruiting is going to be a problem for him. Mothers are going to love him.

I don't want to go all Hey Guys after an Iowa State introductory press conference, but for a first press conference love the guy. He's clearly smart as hell, has good rapport with his players/coaches and is a driven coach. I'm sold.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I’m jackin off in just a tie.

no white button down with extra starch?

 

[douglasbader]

I’m jackin off in just a tie.

So.... Tuesday?

 

[Saul Berkley]

I’m jackin off in just a tie.

I think you need a white dress shirt to go with it.

 

[Saul Berkley]

He had more charisma than I thought he would. Had some gentle jabs at some of his own guys and self too. I like him. I like him a lot.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

I’m jackin off in just a tie.

Calm down Mr carradine
