Fran is OUT. Will it be DeVries or McCollum at Iowa?

McCollum I'd bet. 

May at Michigan and McCollum at Iowa could be a rough next 20 years...

Please hire Huss.

This should set off a few dominos

It really shouldn't though. In reality IU "should" be the 1st domino. However, this one may be unique given BM's apparent affinity for the state of IA. I doubt Devries goes to Iowa.

OT - watching a lot of ball the last two days. There’s too many white guys with dreads….more than I remember since the late 90s.

Now that Fran is officially out at Iowa. Where do they go? Does McCollum pursue relocation to Iowa City? Do we get stuck with Brownell?
Someone give us some good news!!!

If bb makes it to the sweet sixeteen and he haven't hired a coach yet we are in big trouble

I think Brownell would be perfect for Iowa

Feels like a Devries or McCollum.....FFS if its McCollum we are going to have to see the guy twice a year.....and pine away for what could have been....

McCollum.  That piece yesterday was to get Iowa’s attention.  No way it doesn’t happen.

Is the IU job being in a place where McCollum chooses Iowa over IU and IU settles for Brownell the worst possible outcome?

Time for Devries to get a raise, and McCollum to be hired on a more competitive contract; Goodman to the rescue!

[rcbowla 8,275]

If McCollum goes to Iowa and we don't get a big name then I want either Schertz, Huss or J. Calhoun.

Or you hire a coach who has been to the second weekend back to back times and hope he can build off of it at a more basketball friendly school with better resources?

I think that threshold is just one isn't it?

Good question, not sure the answer. That's a scenario I'd find very unexciting. 

I'd much prefer a guy like Huss or Calhoun than Brownell. 

[AH1971 3,279]

Iowa hiring McCollum might force Dolson to hire Will Wade, especially if someone like Brownell makes a deep run again.

I think you're likely right.
