Bo is advocating publicly for Greg Gard, so I doubt Otz would be in line for the head coaching job. I assume that he could be looked at as an assistant there though.
The only real connection he seems to have is that he's from Wisconsin and recruits the state well. I don't know if he'd want to leave again after one year for a slightly better than lateral move, it would make more sense for him to look for a head coaching job imo.
You mean as an assistant, right? I could see it. We were put in a huge hole for that year, and it would probably help him get an HC job.
I think we all need to be careful talking about what makes more sense for everyone. It made more sense for Hoiberg to stay at Iowa State until at least the next kid was out of school. It made more sense for TJ to try and get a head coaching job this year than to come back to Iowa State. If we have learned anything this summer its that people don't do what we think makes sense.
Yea, I meant as an assistant. He could use the potential opening to help leverage a raise I suppose. Hopefully he'll help us land some quality recruits and that won't be necessary.
He’s the next Greg Kampe? Or Scott Sutton? Not many coaches have made the jump from Summit League directly to anything past a mid-major. Recent two-time COY winner Saul Phillips converted it into the Ohio U job.
