If this is truly what you think about my work then honestly, why are you still on our site?

I'm not even trying to be snarky, I just don't understand why/how you'd come to this conclusion? CF is my how I feed my family. It's my passion. What would be the point in me doing anything like this?

Be well.

Yikes someone doesn't take anonymous internet criticism too well. I'm sure he's not the only one that thinks the publishers are mouth pieces of the AD.

I really think it's Otz. JP always favors his friends and I've heard that he and JP are pretty close. Everything seems to fit.

Chris, let me ask a real question unlike a bunch of these doofuses. You have listed Nick Nurse as a long shot. You think it's because he wants to be in the pro's and not in college? Obviously, we know that he was willing to be an assistant here only 4-5 years ago, so I would think with the salary this job could pay, that it would interest him again.

I think he would be interested. I just don't think that Iowa State would offer him the job. When I get some time, I'll add a little bit of commentary to these names for more perspective.

CW getting his resume ready for that Walgreens gig when CF explodes after the Hoiberg leaving to Bullz announcement.

I think Underwood is a fine coach, but I think he's a terrible fit for the players ISU has coming back next year. His defense requires depth because they play aggressively, trap, and commit quite a few fouls. ISU doesn't have that much depth next year. He plays a high post offense whereas the guys on ISU are used to running pick & rolls, having Georges create from the top while maintaining spacing. SFA would have cutters running through a lot more than ISU has. He's a really good coach, but I don't think he's a good fit for the 2015-2016 squad.

This offense sounds tailor made for Georges. The defensive strategy sounds the opposite. The only positive about a guy that wants to switch things up is that he'll have a ton of open schollies to get his type of guys in here. All a coach needs to do next year is just keep the car between the white lines.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not, but I can tell you that national columnists like Gary have their own sources. They certainly aren't scouring CF for info like this.

Nope. They go to those nationally reputable sources in the industry - like Iowa Sportswriter of the Year recipient Randy Peterson.....


Who scours fan websites like CF, but I digress....

His teams play offense AND defense. That's an interesting concept.... :wink:

Royce White for head coach. I see what you're saying.

There's something tickling the back of my mind about letting a coach drive to all the away games
