Lick fired?

[Hawkfromnorwalk]

I just think the rumblings going around are hard to ignore. This may be a BS rumor, but I think it does have some body to it.

 

[BSpringsteen]

This is what I meant the other day about the heat being on Barta...

If you don't think people are going to be questioning his ability if he keeps Lick, you're insane.

 

[coreyzbizkits]

Is there anyone at the Big Ten Tournament who has seen/heard any rumblings there?

 

[Reeon]

Will Chad Walthall be the next Hawkeye head coach?

Heard from a reliable source within the program that he is their number one choice.

If you're being sarcastic...ok. If not...I don't buy this for 1 second.

I hope Chad is acting HC today.....Iowa's chances of winning increase dramatically, if he is. Chad is actually willing to make in-game adjustments and let players have fun playing the game.

There is no heat on Barta in the sense that he's going to lose his job. Zero.

Lick is coaching today and was said to be in a positive mood.

Yeah cause he is going to get a lot of money to not coach at Iowa.

Not right now. A year from now? maybe. What exactly has Barta done at the University of Iowa that would make people feel like they had no choice but to keep him?

Definitely some sarcasm there. I am not trying to discount your source because I believe there has to be some steam to it. I was just trying to get a little smile out of everyone today... but I think I got a couple **gasps**

Helped get the funding necessary for the basketball facilities that were promised to Alford a long time ago.

Not a year from now, either. If/when Barta has to fire Lickliter, he'll be allowed to hire a new coach. He is in no danger of losing his job.

What has he done to make his bosses feel like he should be fired? Lickliter hasn't worked out so far, but that's how it goes sometimes.

 

[NewMexHawk]

Interesting...very interesting...if true, I wonder who forced his hand?

 

[rider22]

I heard from my father's cousin's friend former roommate that Lick is done.

 

[hawkeyescott]

Yeah cause he is going to get a lot of money to not coach at Iowa.

I was going to say the same thing, I would be in a very good mood today if I knew I had $2.4 million coming my way to sit on my *** and do nothing.

he has already collected 4.2 million to do that.

so it wont be a real change.

oooo...burn!

I would be too, but I'm sure TL has a certain amount of pride in himself and getting canned isn't anything to be grinning about.

$2.4 Mil is certainly something to smile about.
