I'm not so crazy about his coaching record... Consistently mediocre. Plus he got himself fired from Bowling Green after getting recorded acting stupid at a bar with women. It's vague whatever it was he did but they used the moral clause in his contract to fire him. I'm picturing Larry Eustachy kind of shit.

I wouldn't over complicate this if I'm Beth. Reach out to DeVries it's his if he wants it. If he doesn't then the search begins.
 
I think Devries is pie in the sky pick, obviously he'd be my #1 choice but I don't see him leaving a place that has rabid fans, healthy NIL and firmly one of the better programs in his league to come and take on the mountain that is Iowa basketball

I think more likely names like McCollum, Jans, Tim Miles, Rick Pitino

IMO, Iowa is likely not going to get a top name for this job. I hope I am wrong and Beth has a plan.

Hard pass on Miles or either Pitino.

I'd be really happy with the other three though.
 
McCollum can do better than Iowa, but moving home could have some sway. If nothing else, Iowa offers a lot of stability if you are above average at your job.

I am betting Devries. There has been a lot of smoke there.

I hope your wrong too. If we don't have the money to buy players then it is vital to get a coach in here that will attract talented players who will want to play for him.
 
My wife thinks Lisa Bluder. It would certainly put a spotlight on the program for a couple years, and she is only 63, so she doesn’t qualify for full SS benefits just yet :)

In a few years, this may be a helluva choice, and there is the potential legacy (assuming he and Caitlyn tie the knot and have a dozen kids). However, that ship sailed with the dismissal of Fran I would imagine.

Caitlyn is a long shot (tongue in cheek).
