It's a good point. If Barta was serious about that statement then just about any coach should be a viable candidate. Whether a coach is happy with his current situation or not, $3.5-4 million a year can sway one's loyalty pretty quickly (not saying we'll offer that or can offer that.) If we do...

They should have Sprewell on the committee. Whichever coach he chokes last, gets the job.

You don't know who Dennis Hopper is? I wasn't even alive when that movie came out...

I believe that honor is currently being sought after in this thread...

Home state loyalty. Take care of us and we'll take care of you.

That's what I'm hearing too. I'm not trying to make the point that he never played the game. Just trying to discount the attacks on him for not being in "professional athlete" shape.

Not an ignorant statement at all. I'm the product of two teachers and couldn't have more respect for the profession. My father coached my little league team and my junior high basketball team. All I'm saying is that if he could have been in the MLB or the NBA, he'd have been there. His passion...

Many thanks. Small town Iowa has a drawl. I drop it when I'm at work but when I'm back home in my town of 1200 people or on my own time, I easily slide back into an accent.

Personally, I don't like the "firm" hire again. It didn't do wonders for us last time... Iowa isn't your typical job. Our state population is the size of many major cities. We're an odd duck. The crew doing the hiring should consist of former players and those close to the program. The Captain...

Thank you.

On the other side, there appears to be a lot of superficial people who would rather discuss how the guy looks and maybe if he's a stylish dresser and if he drives a sweet car. You make the call. Smart fat guy or stupid model in a corvette for the next head coach.

Now that's a name I can get behind. It's been a long time since we've seen a Full House. I'm sorry.

So wrong. The majority of coaches were not stellar athletes. The knew the game, they understood the game. Being born with athletic ability is a far reach from having a true understanding of the game. That's why these guys get so much money. There's brains and braun. One brain, lots of braun.

Let's call this what it is. Pretty boy wants another pretty boy to cheer for. You're not watching for love of the game but for love of... something else. That's cool. This is America.

They aren't teaching fitness. They are teaching basketball. If a player doesn't stay in shape, they don't play. If you can't do, you teach. Hence, coaches.

I'm arguing against my own point now... and in the wrong sport... but does Connie Mack have any kids? Well, probably make that great-grandkids?

And I bet a lot of them are smarter than you. Thankfully, the coaches don't actually play the game.

Did you read this thread? I was supporting Keno. I only disagreed with you on the idea that we wanted Pearl because he was at UT. McDermott came up because the reason we don't want a coach from UNI is because of what is happening at ISU.

We all know where assuming gets us... But I think it'd be a bad idea to limit your choices a week into the process. Look at everyone. Think up crazy combos. I'd love to see BJ with a 3 year deal that also brings in a young up-and-comer who isn't ready to handle a program yet. BJ takes the face...
