Darian DeVries

[Die4Cy]

Drake is a job someone can be quite comfortable at. They have resources and facilities and the Valley is not exactly an insurmountable challenge these days. It's a good place to be if you want to wait out the perfect situation.

FWIW, I talked to a couple of Darian's brothers (big Iowa fans) the other night. Asked if I was going to see him coaching at ISU next year. It was met with a very quick and resounding "Nope".

We won’t be hiring another mid-major coach from the state of Iowa anytime soon anyway so it is a moot point.

I would think that that would end the DeVries speculation coming from some posters on here and end it for good.

He'll stay at Drake until the Iowa or Creighton jobs open up in 5 years.

Not surprised by this knowing his family a little bit as well (great people btw) Darian is too smart to rule out a job based on family fandom though (A professional doesn’t think like that). He’ll listen to what Jamie has to say. He’ll also listen to Greg McD. I doubt he’ll be our next coach.

Fair points....and assuming he continues to succeed, he would likely want the right big job, not just a job (see Keno Davis). ISU is a true rebuild situation and that is different than other situations....some would love that, others may not.

I heard he wants to stay at Drake... his dream job. Doesn't want the stress of higher profile jobs.

Hemphill was limping at the end of the first half. Too bad he's not healthy.

Nice gutty win by Drake today, got down by double digits in both halves I believe and still came away with the win.
