So here we sit, all desperately sifting through all the Hawk sites, rumors, Tweets, and maybe some of us are talking to our imaginary friends on the inside and what do we know for sure?
1. Steve Forbes would love to be the coach here and many around here are getting all goofed up about the prospects of his recruiting powers...but no one from Iowa has called him as he sits forlornly on the bench while most Hawkeye fans' man crush coaches the Vols in the Sweet 16.
2. Bruce Pearl loved the Coral Ridge Mall but is keeping his ugly orange jacket...or is he...let's replay that You Tube interview in slow-mo and watch for any telling gleams in his eye....oh wait he said he was staying at Tennessee...or did he?
3. MVC coaches not coming to Iowa...Ben Jacobsen and Gregg Marshall....they like swimming in the little fish tank instead of leaping into our leaky one...shucks!
4. Us Hawkeye fans would take it personally if Caoch K or Roy Williams turns us down...although it seems we need to be prepared to be turned down by some high school and AAU coaches too.
5. Gary Barta is sweating bullets....or he is playing us all! What a sly, silver fox...or is he running around like a clueless dimwit ready to grab the first guy from a mid-major that will say "yes"?
6. Some fans would love to see B.J., Les Jepsen, Rodell Davis, and other Hawks of the past take over this ship and turn it around with the ghosts of seasons past....why stop there...let's add Easy Ed Horton, Greg Stokes, Bobby Hansen, Sharm Schuerman, and Nile Kinnick to the staff and really make the Black and Gold shine!
It is so amusing, frustrating, titillating, and nerve-wracking to watch the "boards" but we are all doing it and just cannot stop obsessing. What a hilarious sociological study this has become! But I have one plea to Gary Barta and the Search Committee....end our suffering now....HIRE ANYTHING SOON!!!!!
