NO PLAYERS SHOULD LEAVE!

I could support firing Lick right now

We could use an intern coach and start the search immediately.
 
Keno has a 4-star and two 3-stars committed to Providence for next year. He signed four 3-star players last year.

Need a good laugh? I wanted to see who his assistants were. After all of the nepotism going on in Iowa right now, I noticed that one of Keno's assistants was Chris Davis and I was hoping that he wasn't a relative. Umm, I don't think he's a relative. Rodell is not the son of Chris either. That's a lot of Davis'.

Whoa, all of those "stars" looks exactly like what we have coming in next year.

However, get over it. Lick will be here next year.

I hope not...unless you want another year of the same crap he has given us the past 2 + years....face it lick can't handle the big ten it is time for hi and is boy to GO.
 
17-13 6-8
10-17 4-10
11-17 3-11

Can anybody guess who had the above overall and conference records their first 3 years as a head coach?
 
Coach K....so what? There are a hundred coaches with those kinds of records to start that continued on a downward spiral for each one that pulled out of the tailspin.
That was also back in 1980-something...he was not making 1.2 million..money is up, coaches get a shorter leash...that is why they get 8.4 million deals..with nice buyouts of 600k/yr...
 
Coach K recruited these players for the '82 team that went 11-17

Jay Bilas - a consensus top 50 recruit
Johnny Dawkins - Freshman All-American
David Henderson

He then followed up that class with
Mark Alarie- Arizona Player of the Year
Tommy Amaker - McDonalds All-American
Marty Nessley


Now please go back and look at our last two years and tell me if you see similarities between these two coaches? The only one that I can find is the Arizona POY (Fuller and Alarie). I don't see any McDonalds AA's on the roster, I don't see any consensus top 50 players on the roster, do you?

The fastest way to turn a program around is to recruit talent.

I didn't realize that about the Duke recruiting, but you show me anyone who could have recruited a top 50 player to Iowa the last 3 years. And when I say anyone, I mean a coach who would actually take the job at Iowa. I think Lick has had some bad luck and I'm not ready to fire him today.

Essentially what you're saying is that Iowa will only be able to hire a lousy recruiter. I don't buy that. I also don't think you can put Lick's lack of recruiting on "bad luck".

If there's any bad luck, you could say that about the Jake Kelly and Tyler Smith transfers, but the others left because they were unhappy in the program. Players leaving because they don't like playing for you doesn't qualify as bad luck IMO.

And Lickliter could have kept Tony Freeman if he wanted to, but Freeman was given a choice between changing his "style" of play, or riding the pine, if everything I heard about it was accurate.
 
Jake Kelly's mom being killed in a plane crash is not Licks fault, Anthony Tucker being a drunk is not Licks fault.
