I think people need to get ready for a let-down. I see no reason why an established power conference coach will come here. It is very hard to win, if a coach is already winning he is not going to leave his situation for a middle of the road Big 10 school where the last 2 coaches couldn't get it done.
Lots of great coaches were once lessor known, or even unsuccessful at another place. We need to find the guy, whatever his background, that has drive, personality, coaching skills, and plan to win here at Iowa. Because a big-name coach isn't walking through our doors.
And before people lynch Barta for not hiring a big name, remember we have no idea what is going on. We don't know salary limitations, and it takes two to tango. Barta can't make anyone take this job.
