Not rushing by any means the retirement of McCaffery or Bluder, but when the day comes there are two coaches which happen to have Drake ties that would be welcome replacements. Word has it that Jennie Baranczyk would like the Iowa job when Lisa retires ( Drake record 192-96 & Oklahoma 72-24 )...

I am a homer. I root for the Hawks, Drake and Iowa State. Iowa State is a lock for the NCAA. Hoping both Iowa and Drake get in. Drake split with Indian State during the season and hoping they knock them off today on CBS. Iowa desperately needs the Illinois game today or they may have to at...

You gotta have some luck along talent. Ralph Miller had an Iowa team in 1970 that was capable of winning it all. Got nicked by a team from Jacksonville with two 7 footers ( Artis Gilmore & Pembrook Burrows). Miller has a great team with John Johnson and "Downtown" Freddie Brown. Lute...

4 games left ...Two vs Ilini, PSU at home & on the road at Northwestern... Really need both home games and one of the road games. 3 out of 4 won't be easy. May need a couple wins in Big 10 Tourney. GO HAWKS !!!

I for one am willing to give Tim Lester a chance. However, it is interesting that a possible OC candidate for Alabama is almost in our back yard. Kurtiss Riggs QB/Receiver Coach for Sioux Falls College for 4 years of which they won 3 National Titles Sioux Falls Storm ( professional indoor )...

One of the tests for Coach Lester is his recruiting prowess. The test is......can he bring Nick Brooks OT back into the fold for 2025. All of the negative comments on the Fan Sites probably is not helping the recruiting scenario in convincing a player like Brooks to change his mind. In all...

Glad to see that Tim Lester was not the Offensive Coordinator for Syracuse in 2006 when Norm Parker's Iowa Defense stopped the Syracuse Offense for 8 consecutive plays inside the 5 yard line. Often referred to as " THE STAND"

Is there a time set for an introductory Press Conference?

Any chance we made an incorrect assumption...A different take.....Maybe..... So Kirk Ferentz knew he was hiring Tim Lester for OC. So he asks Lester about a WR coach possibility. Lester had hired Johns previously at Western Michigan ( and knew he was out of a job) & suggested him for WR coach...

Lot's of questions? 1. Is it John's 2. Did John's turn it down 3. Is Kirk looking at someone else or more interviews 4. Is It John's & they are waiting to hire a WR coach & announce all at once 5. ETC.

Betting Odds for the next Michigan Coach.......... Detroit Free Press 1. Michigan OC Sherrone Moore (-700) 2. Kansas coach Lance Leipold (+600) 3. LSU coach Brian Kelly (+700) 4. Minnesota coach P.J. Fleck (+1000) 5. Michigan DC Jesse Minter (+1100) 6. Iowa State coach Matt Campbell (+1200)...

If Twitter is correct about Kirk flying to Ann Arbor....more likely to interview Moore. Michigan is more likely to hire a coach slightly younger, that if successful, would be there longer.

Arizona is Likewise Looking for an Offensive Coordinator. Doesn't look like they are going to wait 3 months. Their short List: Mike Riley NFL & Nebby & Oregon St. Danny Langsdorf OC at Nebby in 2015 Brennan Marion UNLV OC Dino Babers last job was Syracuse

As times goes on we keep losing candidates. A few days ago it was reported Bill O'Brien to Ohio State and now there is a report of Tommy Rees to the Cleveland Browns. Oh Well.
