I can barely deal with Ferentz rumors now we gotta worry about GB. smh

IF this did happen, who would fans want to take over at Iowa?

Sally Mason

Sally Mason

LOL. No.

Have we not seen this enough...?

These "lists" might as well be put together by 13 yr-olds in study hall. (and they very well may be) They mean next-to-nothing.

Yeah, this makes lots of sense. A guy who moved up from Wyoming to a school with a cash-rich football program and exceptional (to put it lightly) alumni support (as in $$$) wants to jump to a school that has struggled badly for years...and will always be second banana to the pro sports franchises just a few miles away.

 

[iahawks912]

Please Minn work your a** off to make this happen.

 

[Tmoney12]

Sally Mason

LOL. No.

sorry was just to easy. Honestly, unless its Alvarez or Fry. No idea.

 

[imported_ankle23]

if he leaves, please let it be someone with connections to T. Boone Pickens or Mr. Nike. Maybe they'll feel sorry for us and kick us a couple measly scraps....$10mm here, $10mm there.....

 

[HawkForce]

What do you bet if Barta leaves we will get a sally mason puppet

 

[tweeterhawk]

Kirk Ferentz

He can then promote KOK to HC. KOK proceeds to implement a spread offensive scheme and begins recruiting scramble-style quarterbacks from Texas/Oklahoma/Nebraska.

Dan Gable is the correct answer for a replacement if he would come out of his now official retirement

I would LOVE this!

 

[dekhawks]

DAN GABLE!

 

[PawkHawk1]

Dan Gable is the correct answer for a replacement if he would come out of his now official retirement

Sally Mason would never allow that.

 

[bhawkn30]

I would love to see Gable, however, I would hate it if he ended up catching heat like Barta/Mason do.

You're correct

I'm no fan of Gary Barta but I would be very afraid of what would happen to Iowa athletics if Sally Mason were to have the opportunity to hire the next AD. That being said I have little doubt that Gary Barta is fully aware of this fact.

This. Especially the 13-year-old part.
