Plenty of Hawks would have loved to dump Alford and hired McDermott
I'd like to take a poll of Hawk fans who wished they'd ditched Alford sooner (they eventually will) and made a move on McDermott before we did. My guess is that it would be a big number. This only gets worse when we start 6-0 with a road win at Minnesota while they get blasted by Villanova and **** one away against a young ASU team. It gets even worse if we win at Carver Hawkeye in two 10 days, and the meltdown occurs if Chizik leads us to victory next fall. Which is altogether possible since the hawks have looked very mortal during this 5 game losing streak.
It sure would be nice for the statewide media to show some parity in covering ISU and iowa. Guys like Chizik, McDermott, Fennelly, and Cael Sanderson will make that happen. Include Pollard in that mix. BTW - if Keeler was smart he'd have spent more time covering ISU gymnastics under KJ Kindler. Now that was one fine coach, and a babe too.
