This is so 20 pages ago, lol

To be fair, I think he still wears wooden shoes so let’s appreciate him even being on this page.

I just want a coach who recruits and wins lol

Not picking on this post at all, but I see a little of that vibe here sometimes and it’s far too “Captain Obvious.”

Im gonna create a threads of qualities/characteristics for the new coach because this thread is for candidate news

 It's interesting to follow Iowa right now.  They sound a bit like us.  They are mad that they waited a year to fire Fran, when they could have gotten DeVries last year.  If they do fire Fran this year, not sure about that.  It sounds like a IU Dusty thing.  They don't seem thrilled about McCollum, too slow, too much like Lickliter, thinking they should try to get Chris Collins too.

If Fran does get fired, I wouldn't be surprised to see him somewhere in Indiana with his 3 boys and Caitlyn Clark in Indy.  They are also interested in Pearl.  Fun to watch them for a diversion.

Do we know if Creighton plans to partake in the 22 million dollar salary cap / payment of players? Mid-majors can opt out. P4 schools likely can't unless they want to lose. 

Creighton isn't in a mid major

Yeah, I’m sure Pearl is dying to get to that much $hittier job than the 1 he has now because Iowa City made quite an indelible mark on him when he was an Asst there 30 yrs ago. Fandom is quite the drug.

THE FIST! 

(OK -- I completely made that up)
 

 

That is the most awkward and funny coach's pregame speech of all time. The looks on their faces say, "Coach STFU and let's go play."

Painter almost left Purdue during one stretch and during another he stunk but he changed his recruiting and has been pretty strong with that.  This stretch had some pretty lean years but perhaps he survived 13-14 because he had some strong recruits coming in 14-15

He almost left in 09 or 10 for Mizzou.

[Coach Robby 512]

Anybody ready to discuss Mark Few for 6-8 years? Gonzaga kinda running lower this season....

Yet Gates and Richard Pitino get mocked even though they overcame adversity and are irrefutably successful. Byington and Shaheen Holloway gonna be that guy too.

SMH.

Anyone else getting a callus on their finger tip from refreshing too much? My finger tip is starting to look like I play the guitar.

What about this guy? I think we can get him real cheap too. Just throw in a few extra incentives. Like make it to the tournament get free case of Busch Light. Might need to get him personal chauffeur, but I think he could Win big.

I remember when he wore that suit, Bob Knight said he looked like 300 pounds of butter!

Because he cropped out the years he had before this. You get leeway if you've had success.

Iowa also wants Matt Gatens and they are getting worried that some other BIG team (Indiana Minnesota??) will find out what a brilliant coach he is and steal him away.  

I think if Fran does go, they should get Shrews, and keep with the crazy.  Watching Frantrum was the high light of Big Ten basketball during the Woodson years.  At least for me.

So let’s talk Rick Pitino.

Sure, his kids love him and play hard. With our NIL there will be no need for strippers and blowjobs. He won’t be chasing women longer than 60 seconds.
