You never know, maybe drunken Larry (Eustachy) will hire him as an assistant so he doesn't have to give some of his own salary back to the school for poor performance.

While Ben Jabosen is not my first choice, I would not be crushed if he became our next head coach. I think he could win in the Big 10 and he certainly couldn't do any worse than Lick has the last 3 years. And for someone to say that he would turn Iowa down given the opportunity is just absurd...

I like the fact ( on the audio link posted earlier ) he makes mention that you have to adjust as a coach to what your personel can handle. That he has known coaches before that were too rigid in a system and it cost them because of it. Sound familiar? This man should be our next head basketball...

I don't think that Forbes should be a "fall back guy" at all. To the contrary I think he would be a good fit. By all accounts he is a top notch recruiter who was heavily pursued by Bruce Pearl and Billy Gillispie to aid in the turn around of those programs. He has been around success at the big...

Umm, I hate to be the voice of reason here, but Iowa is not going to pay it's basketball coach more than they pay their football coach. So not only would Iowa have to pay Lick's 2.4 million, but add in Pearl's buyout (approx 2.5 million I have heard) plus the 3.5 million in salary which would...

If Iowa is going to hire a man who has had a drinking problem, then I prefer Billy Gillispie. Larry would be a disgrace at Iowa!

I don't think that it is a question of outdoing Houston. I think it is a question of timing. BG is a "current" candidate to replace a retiring coach. Barta has not even fired Lick yet. Hence, assuming he does so, he still has to secure funding for the 2.4 million dollar buyout, then conduct a...

My guess is that Bruce Pearl is saying to himself "man...we really got crushed by Kentucky in the SEC tourney. Well, time to get my boys ready for the Big Dance!" And being the next head coach at Iowa is not even an after thought to him.

Duffman I was really shaking my head and wondering why the hell I was continuing to waste my time reading this thread until your post! The slave Leia pillow fight was an oasis in the desert of what started out to be an interesting thread but turned to sh*t in a hurry. I applaud you sir!

Gillispie was arrested in 2003 and then again in Sept of 2009 ( just 6 months ago ) for DUI. Barta would not chance hiring someone that would potentially be Iowa's version of Larry Eustachy. Whether that outlook is right or wrong is a moot point. I don't see Barta taking the chance on him.

Do you have some sort of link or info that the rest of us are not privy to? I have heard of no heat ( official or otherwise ) on Barta what so ever.

Freddy I agree with everything you said! As for me, I wouldn't mind seeing Jacobsen as the Head Hawk. I know others might disagree, but I have seen nothing but success from his program, and he certainly couldn't do any worse than Lick is doing right now. I just hope he is still available after...

Bravo Tweeter! The Lucy post is awesome!! LOL

My son plays 7th grade basketball for his school, and I have been to all of the games. I have not seen talent like this kid has at this level.

Well I don't consider myself part of the "jihadic wing" but I do think that Lick is in way over his head. It is clear to many that he can't recruit, but that is not as bad as not getting everything out of his players. Iowa's football program has made a living off of taking underated talent and...
