Wow. This looks like a done deal.

 

[GhostofBTT]

Awesome.

We get a great coach, and I get to witness a meltdown! I'm gonna get some popcorn and wait for the trolls to roll out of bed. This is gonna be a fun day!

 

[iowahawkeyes89]

A good coach? Maybe...but can he recruit?

Thats ALWAYS what separates a good mid major coach from being a good D1 coach.

Yes. It should be very entertaining.

Looks like we hired a more uptempo Lickliter (personality wise). Definitely worried about this hire.

 

[BSpringsteen]

Holy Jeebus... I am melting down Ghost.

 

[JDeMoney]

Interesting choice when examined against the backdrop of the soon-to-be expanded Big Ten. He is an East Coast guy and a Notre Dame guy. Both are likely expansion areas.

 

[iahawk20]

I simply do not get it.

 

[Thomzahawke]

Dont know anything about him.....any breakdown would be helpful please.

Barta is out of his league.

I'm not going to meltdown. I just feel like crying. I imagine anyone who remembers how Iowa basketball use to be feels the same way.

 

[HawkeyeShane]

Not buying it...sounds like someone's buckin' for a pay raise.

 

[GhostofBTT]

I am so thankful that fate lead me to put down my donuts and coffee and saunter down to the lap top just in time to see the first trickles of this to leak.

Ghost, you'll need a lot of popcorn for this one...

Ghost? Do you really have donuts?

Shane, what concerns me is the guy reporting it is the main beat writer for the team. I highly doubt he makes it up.

I'm in denial 20...don't slap me silly with proof just yet!

 

[HawkeyeRyno]

So we get another Todd Lickliter?? GREAT! This guy's pressers are as dead as Lick's. I hope he can recruit and play uptempo otherwise we are right back to square one.

this has me worried. this is also the first time i have questioned by donations to the U of I. Granted, i am not a Kinnick or Champion level donor yet....but this makes me question why i am donating at the top tier of a silver hawk level annually. I have a hard time being comfortable with this hire and the direction our AD is taking this program.
