2025 MBB Coaching Carousel

Maybe, but they always have a guy like Forbes that would take it

Multiple Iowans are legit candidates, which is helping them

What’s the top end for Forbes at Iowa? Doesn’t seem that high.

I don’t think even we as ISU fans appreciate how terrible the Iowa job is and how poorly it’s looked at from the outside. Their own fans are absolutely jaded (surprise).

the only thing it has going to it is that it is a big 10 coaching job. thats it. once you look passed that you realize you are a bottom tier big 10 job in iowa city iowa, with little NIL and **** fan support. its not a good job for any up and coming coach who wants to build something. its a job for a washed out 60 year old coach to milk the remaining days in his career. i can't wait for them to hire Bruce Weber away from the big 10 network.

DeVries at IU and McCollum at WV both feel like really good fits to me.

BM at WVU is much better fit than at Iowa.

I can easily see Prohm getting the Hok job. He is familiar with the state, so that's a plus.

He’s allegedly one of the few that would factor in “going home”

Ideal scenario:

DeVries to IU
McCollum to WV
Next Iowa coach flames out

Fran remains Iowa’s best coach of the 21st century for the foreseeable future.

And Fran replacing Prohm at Murray State would be the cherry on top.

Have to imagine Blount is still VERY high on Drakes list.
Wouldn't even have to sell his house.

The Iowa job is just so bad right now. The new coach doesn't just have to focus on building a team, they also have to get donors to contribute to actually contribute to NIL and get the fans to reengage. That is a huge job to take on.

Seems like the angle that they're taking is "NOW we'll support the new coach, we just weren't supporting the old coach because we didn't like him".

That's not a great selling point as you are advertising that your fans will abandon the new coach too if he doesn't meet their expectations.

And immediately available

This is why I wouldn't be shocked for McCollum to turn them down.

I think he's very methodical when deciding.

Couldn't agree more. He's going to have more opportunities and Iowa's collective has absolutely failed the program.

Jans or Forbes. Calling my shot.

DeVries leaves for IU
McCollum leaves for WVU
Drake hires JR Blount.
When JP Retires, Hardin is the next ISU AD.

that fan bases identity is shitting on their coaches. half of them hate KF and he is a hall of famer and the best football coach they have ever had. that has to be a known in coaching circles.

I'm giving you a winner for mentioning Waubeek.

There's a good dive bar there on the Wapsie.

Jans is a tough one for a strong female AD.

College sports sold its soul long ago. No reason Beth can’t sell hers either.

McCollum to WVU would make a lot of sense to me.

Too much sense, Wren Baker was his AD at NWMS sooooooo
