Email to Barta and Mims

Everyone-
I sent Jon a message asking him to delete this thread. I want to make it known that I didn't write this email. I've been away from my computer for a while and left my browser open to this site and was logged in. A friend/co-worker likes to play jokes and thought it'd be funny to put a few things on there "for me." We had been talking about the coaching search this morning and you can obviously tell what I told him. I'm hoping that Barta makes the call, but it's his call, not mine.
He also started the thread about putting an end to the no head coaching experience argument.
For those that asked, I'll be up front. I am a junior golf instructor and have my own junior golf academy. I played college golf for Drake before transferring to Iowa to finish my career there. On top of that, I also just started working for a recruiting service for high school students that are trying to get a college scholarship. I have worked with many college GOLF coaches and am starting to have contacts with coaches in many different sports. That being said, I don't have contact with AD's and don't really know a lot about the hiriing process. The only contact I've had with Barta is when I briefly discussed what I and some other golf alumni wanted to see when he was hiring a new coach a few years back. That was different because I had very good insight into college golf coaches. He was very receptive to our input. He made a great hire and it was the guy that we all wanted to see get the job. But I don't claim that to be because of what we suggested. That would be no different than any former Hawkeye basketball player making a recommendation.
I also think that if you read the email and also read what some of my other posts are like, you'll see a different type of writing. That email would have been a little more over the top than I would write. If I were to write something, it'd be more like the Hawkey3's letter. That was very nicely written

Don't sweat the negative comments. If you felt compelled to send a message thats perfectly fine just don't expect other people to do so.

I tried this excuse when I was a kid and flushed fireworks down our toilet. Unfortunately for me I tried to blame it on my brother who was 2 at the time and I forgot to take the matches and the firecracker wrappings out of my pocket first. I hope it works better for you than it did for me.
There you have what I do for a living. Feel free to fire away. That's what I get for leaving my browser on this. You really wanna look at what I do, you can visit my website. www.texasjrgolf.com.
Also, it wasn't me that asked Jon to email Barta about the coaching search.

Damn, settle down, it was a freakin email giving support for a hire, not telling Barta what to do.
