Billy Fennelly new WBB assistant coach

[mred]

Fennelly Announces Organizational Changes On Staff - Iowa State University Athletics Official Web Site - www.CYCLONES.com - The home of Iowa State Cyclone Sports

Additionally, Steyer was promoted to Associate Head Coach (no surprise) and Pete Link is now in charge of WBB S&C.

Not all that surprising, I wonder if they will fill his position or if it was just a grooming position for him.

So basically Coach Steyer gets Coach E's old title and Billy gets Coach Steyer's title ?

 

[3TrueFans]

I will not stand for this nepotism!

Wow, they just let Fennelly do whatever they want, don't they? Unreal.

Thats why he has a lifetime contract.

 

[CRAZYGREG]

I have to say that this is really disappointing

 

[acoustimac]

I support this and here is why. Sometimes you have to reward those who have put in the time in the program. This is more about promoting Jodi than hiring his own son. This is entry level for Billy...right where he should be. Congrats to Coach Steyer!

If we're dipping into the Fennelly ranks, does that mean all the Ferentz's are now employed?

There should not be an "entry" level on a top tier Big 12 team. He should have to go get his coaching experience at some smaller school like hte rest of the world.

Really? Didn't Brian Ferentz just get promoted to Offensive Line Coach? I am sure he was the most qualified and his last name had nothing to do with it. This is a way of life in any business.

Well I was sorta looking for a response from someone that knew I was trolling, so I kinda feel bad.

 

[Cytaki]

Okay, no prior experience? Billy worked on the staff of Maryland for a year, the staff of Northwestern for two years and Iowa State's staff for two years in an administrative role. I would have rather seen someone else but Billy has earned his stripes and it was eventually coming!

 

[cmoore_23]

really people you are going to bash BF for promoting within and his son has coached at another school.. the guy knows the system and he has been learning from the his dad the whole time why not keep him on who knows maybe we will have our future coach

Sorry, I should have known that it was a trolling statement. It has been a long day and venting at a Hawk was an outlet. My bad. Though it did help, so thank you :spinny:

I hope this doesn't bite us in the ***. We replace a long time exp. coach for some with very little. At a school like ISU recruiting is of at most importance and this I feel doesn't help us in this regard. I hope I'm wrong.

Maryland, Northwestern and two years at Iowa State don't count?

 

[Royalclone]

So is he going to work with the bigs? If he's a good recruiter, I'll be OK with it. If not, big BF missed a chance.

Hopefully,the new strength coach was brought in to build Prins into a force this summer.
