New coaching search thread

[RJKarl]

Heading 297 cruising at 40000, north of Lexington, Maybe, but probably not.

So, Cal is coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Deacfreak07]

Wonder if this guy coaches basketball?

TBH, Forbes gives off this vibe a bit in interviews.

There is no rush really but we’re the only major job open so there’s not any reason for a delay is there?

Also, Fran Mc might be a little douchey but would be leaps and bounds a better choice than Amaker and he’s proven he can win at a high level. He’s no Matta, but we could do worse.

If there is a season in 2021, he will have a top 5 team. You don't build up to a top 5 team to take over our current dumpster of a program.

 

[berneses]

Miller or Forbes would be fine by me but lean towards Miller because of the defense he plays at UNCG and is younger. As long as it's no Frickin Amaker.

This flight is probably irrelevant at this point, but if anyone was still interested, it's now falling in altitude pretty significantly over Iowa.

Steve Prohm at ISU?

 

[deacswin]

I would be feeling a bit of urgency to make sure new hire has a chance to hold onto our current players.

I'm just conditioned to fear the worst after following the last 2 coaches' searches. Sure, there is no rush, but the sooner this happens, the better. The longer it goes, the more it seems like WF is getting turned down left and right.

My source says that the AD's headed west from the Cumberland Gap to Johnson City, Tennessee.

Rock me like a wagon wheel. Rock me any way you feel.

 

[tvcigar]

Darian DeVries from Drake??

Maybe Currie is doing due diligence and not running a 1 man show and making all decisions in a vacuum.

 

[Biff Tannen]

Is Hubert Davis a more qualified candidte than Wes Miller ?

 

[RJKarl]

Penny Hardaway!!!

The ghost of Henry Iba.

 

[PM please.]

Darian DeVries from Drake??

Hard to tell if it's him or McCaffery up the road in Ames at this point.

Search Firms serve two purposes for AD's.
First, the search firms are the ones that reach out first to guage interest, so that the AD knows who might be serious about the position. They help to quickly narrow down the field to realistic candidates.
Second, they give the AD cover if the hire goes bad

 

[Turd Ferguson]

Your head believes very obvious misinformation. Do you really think Forbes or Miller would turn down an offer?

I don't know what's in their heads. But why is that so ridiculous? Do you not think they both will have other P6 offers in the future?

1st - the AD can reach out to coaches himself, so who cares?
2nd - If the hire goes bad the AD still takes the blame, ultimately they are responsible for the final hire.

So they serve no purpose other then to outsource research and provide names you may have overlooked.

Plane is almost certainly landing in Des Moines for those that are interested.

McCafferty is in Iowa City, Prohm is in Ames

Not if they go 12-20 next season.

Need to strike while the iron is hot.
