Pretty decent chance Marty would be on staff if Brownell were to be hired. There’s my insider contribution to this thread. Disclaimer: this is not an endorsement that Brownell should be hired.

TJO

I saw him wearing it at the Michigan game in the concessions under the seats and thought it was Epps but wasn’t sure what Epps looked like. Now I do lol.

Thought I read it was a MTE with these two as the headliners, with an earlier game at home opponent TBD. Probably needed to confirm the venue and logistics.

Funny you say that, and I am generally in Beard’s corner l, but I had a guy that is connected to Ole Miss people tell me last weekend that several of their donors are fed up with him. Said he had promised NIL to kids that wasn’t secured yet or keeps coming back to them for $. just what I hear, may or may not be valid

Not surprising. How is Kellen doing these days?

Sorry we are getting away from the real reason for this thread but this statement is why I think Crean was terrible (using that lightly) at the end of his UGA tenure as it coincided with the new portal rules. his best teams were veteran teams that seemingly were used to all of the manic behavior and could tune in what was important. You bring in a bunch of new players each year to that style of coaching, it is a recipe for disaster. He is in a great spot. He loves to talk and TV gives him that avenue.

Probably effective for marines preparing for life/death scenarios and I no doubt believe that Crean read it and applied it. For college kids playing basketball? It’s a stretch that was universally disliked by the team. we’ll agree to to disagree.

If you’ve ever listened to Hysterics podcast, multiple players have confirmed it. Not a secret. And a crazy way to run things. He claimed it helped them be ready to adapt when things didn’t go their way in games. Dumb.

Seems plausible, maybe he is going the Eddie Fogler route and consulting AD’s on hires. Would be a great resource and maybe the more he learns about the job, he may just want to throw his own name in. Probably some reasons his teams declined post covid at UVA which could be overcome here. Not entertaining by winning 27+ games a year is not a bad option. The pause in this story is our donors don’t seem to keep a lid on anything. Can’t imagine Bennett was in town and these guys weren’t spreading the news.

Seems noteworthy. Any additional context?

That you Mr. Sypher?

Yes, he was an assistant at Iowa st before the SDak St and UNLV gigs. He married a former player at Iowa St. Again, why would he be interested in Iowa?

Why would Otz be interested in Iowa?? Don’t recall any connection there and he has a better job at Iowa St. maybe Devries and McCollum.

Would welcome some mutual interest with TJ Otz. Believe he would do very well here.
