On his weekly appearance on WHB in Kansas City ESPN analyst Doug Gottlieb mentioned University of Dayton HC Brian Gregory as a possibility for the Iowa job.
In six years at Dayton Gregory has compiled a record of 145-80, including 63-49 in the Atlantic Ten Conference. He was an assistant at Michigan State before going to Dayton. He led the Flyers to the NCAA in 2004 and in 2009, when they won their first round game.
From his official bio on the Flyers site:
"A native of Mount Prospect, Illinois, Gregory brought 15 years of coaching experience to Dayton, with 12 of them coming in the Big Ten. Teams he was with have reached the post-season in 12 of his 15 seasons. He began his coaching career in 1990 at Michigan State University on Jud Heathcote's staff until 1995, and then Tom Izzo's staff when Izzo succeeded Heathcote.
"In 1996, Gregory followed Stan Joplin when Joplin went from Michigan State to become Toledo's head coach. After one season at Toledo, Gregory returned to the Big Ten by joining Kevin O'Neill's program at Northwestern. Gregory returned to Michigan State for the 1999-2000 season when he joined Tom Izzo's staff in East Lansing. After two seasons serving as an assistant coach, Gregory was elevated to Associate Head Coach for the 2001-02 and 2002-03 seasons.
"In his last stint at Michigan State, the Spartans went to the NCAA tournament all four seasons, reaching the Final Four in 2000 and 2001, and winning the NCAA national championship in 2000."
