If we play like this next year, then this video can be played. But as of now, we are still rebuilding.
Well, we do suck....again.
Well we are bad and is pretty alarming really. I was certainly fine with Mr. Davis moving on, but we are a long ways from there now. Its funny, the old adage is still true, be careful what you wish for and what you "expect"!
On a corollary note, there was a time I was a bigger college b-ball fan than a football fan and I loved the Hawks. I haven't watched a full game in years and quite frankly the fans did that too me more than the b-ball team. That Alford fiasco and the way it all played out jaded me pretty good and I'm not anti-Alford, but we are clearly reaping what we sowed.
We appear to still be a long ways away and in a day and age when there are myriads of mid-majors playing highly competitive basketball. I do still watch with passing interest and of course I watch the tourney. You'd think we could filed a decent team. Its not like we are without tradition....

We have an entire forum for basketball. I realize the football board gets more traffic and you want instant reaction but this is the football board, shape up.
The OP is an ignorant clown troll posing as a Hawk fan.
Yeah only been rebuilding for 5 years now...face it Iowa is laughing stock of basketball right now and the very worst team in B1G yet again.
You wanted to get rid of Davis but wanted to keep Alford? Your DIY attempt at brain surgery failed.
Personality contest = Davis wins
NCAA production = Davis wins
B1G production = Davis wins

This is such a played out...and STUPID argument. Yeah, you're right...I guess OK St. is ****** that they brought in Mike Gundy five or so years ago to try and get to the "next leve"...or I bet Michigan is ****** they fired Rich Rod because they wanted to try and become relevant again. There are just as many coaches who are successful after being brought in as unsuccessful...just because we've had 1 experience at Iowa doesn't make your little "adage" any more true. Your sample size is 1...pretty silly.
Oh my....have you stepped into a buzz saw. On second thought if you truly think the sample size is one, then you really are just as in the dark as most of your posts show you to be.....
It has happened countless, and I mean countless times over all of history let alone college sports............

PS....I'm a business man myself, I have had to make that decision to move people out before and quite frankly "the above" would never hand cuff me to NOT do it. But I, unlike you or most of those who speak so impetuously, with such a cavalier attitude, should never be involved in decisions like this. You have zero perspective, you never look at potential consequences and honestly you are truly blind to reality...
If you would like I will begin listing the MAJOR programs that stayed down for a myriad of really bad hirers if you choose, but if I were you I'd start trying to think a little deeper, and show some insight rather than running off half cocked. At the very least it makes YOU look silly.
i'm glad your in business...
Check...and mate.
