Absolute home run hire for Michigan in my opinion. Perfect coach at the perfect time for them. They didn't deserve to back into a coach like this.

Connor is a great Hawkeye, one of the toughest sons of bitches I've ever seen play, and that's going back to the mid 80s. He squeezed about every drop of natural ability out of his body and gave the Hawks everything he had. He played whichever position his coaches asked, from point guard to...

This sort of thing is often downplayed by those on the inside because they don't want to upset others. The bottom line is Kirk had never had an assistant head coach in 25 previous years. He picked Wallace for the position and gave him a quarter million dollar raise. And he started grooming...

Why does everyone think Phil rides off into the sunset with Kirk? What the F is that guy gonna do then? He's only 62. He doesn't have any hobbies. He's probably not even a little worn out, like Kirk some days, since he doesn't have to deal with the administration, boosters, or media. He...

When Bri got dumped and Kirk wanted to re-assert some control over his program, it would have been the perfect time to name Woods associate HC while naming Wallace assistant DC. Woods still with the team in that scenario? Probably? Instead he went all in with Wallace.

Wallace is also assistant DC.

I could see it. He is 62, born in Madison. He got paid for a few years at Colorado State. He'd make as much or more as an assistant at Iowa as he did as Nevada's head coach ($625k). He probably won't be a candidate for a head coaching job unless he wants to drop below Mountain West level...

I was waiting for someone else to jump in first on this one. First, I listen to most of the more popular Hawkeye podcasts, and none that I listen to (Chad+Scott, Two Guys, Marc+Rob, Kakert, Harty) have said with any conviction that this is part of a larger plan to bring Woods back. All I've...

If nothing else, I think we can all agree those additional responsibilities could be given to Seth Wallace and the Hawks' special teams wouldn't skip a beat. Look at the linebacking corp. He loses all-Americans and just reloads. He seems to recruit circles around the rest of the staff, develops...

It also got me wondering what other assistants might end up there. Kelvin Bell seems like one of the most coveted - maybe he is restless. I had mentioned Bri as an O-line coach there after Fitz got hired. But what about any Giants' assistants? That staff is fired. The other two Ferentz boys...

I'm not mad about anything. Just appears that you are trying to be a tad coy about your earlier claims and that somehow it is related to this. And your earlier claims wouldn't seem to add up here.

So you are claiming the Iowa admin couldn't convince Woods to take the head coaching gig at Iowa?

Associate head coach and special teams

Per Chad L

Iowa is 20th in Kenpom, 19th in NET. Things are rolling right now. A lot of tough teams in the conference, but Iowa is going to win its share of games. Hawks are a tough out.
