Elko first, huff second. Everything else is just noise that isn’t happeningThis is amazing. Also, who is the MSU front runner while were on the subject?

Why would a coach want to stay at a basketball school first? You think Duke has an advantages to keeping Elko because of this I assume?Why in the world would stoops go to Iowa? He’s in a better conference, makes great money, is bringing in much better recruits than Iowa and has less pressure since it’s a basketball school first. Zero reason why he leaves unless Iowa makes him the highest paid coach or something.
Hadn't read this before my reply. Elko would be a good hire but maybe the Cameron Crazies convince him to stay?Elko first, huff second. Everything else is just noise that isn’t happening
Certainly possible that there could be some wealthy alums that drop a bag, but the conference is on the verge of collapse and I know that he has been very receptive to overtures. Maybe the winner of the champions classic this year gets Elko lolHadn't read this before my reply. Elko would be a good hire but maybe the Cameron Crazies convince him to stay?
Agree. Stoops is another example like Klieman where people feel hamstrung to bring someone in with a previous Iowa connection. Why? Iowa has a young, energetic, sharp AD who's embracing NIL and where the game is today. Give me a young climber HC who's going to bring some new life to the program.Why in the world would stoops go to Iowa?

Speaking of that, does it surprise any one else that Jason Candle hasnt been offered a P5 job yet?Agree.

Not really, he started hot but has some really bad seasons in there. You can’t have multiple bad seasons with zero recruiting prowess and get a decent P5 job. A lot of coordinators are much higher then a Mac Hc.Speaking of that, does it surprise any one else that Jason Candle hasnt been offered a P5 job yet?
Do you have a name of someone that fits that description today?Agree. Stoops is another example like Klieman where people feel hamstrung to bring someone in with a previous Iowa connection. Why?

Duke isn’t in the SECWhy would a coach want to stay at a basketball school first? You think Duke has an advantages to keeping Elko because of this I assume?
WSU or Oregon states coachDo you have a name of someone that fits that description today?
Those would be great hires too. I think Oregon State coach with him playing there would leave but would probably take a bigger job than IowaWSU or Oregon states coach
No.Do you have a name of someone that fits that description today?
Christian McCaffrey says hello.plus we all know had bad the squaks play in the rose bowl stadium
They forget that you only get 85 scholarships.EIU fans keep talking about this shift with a power 2, Big easy and the SEC and the other two conferences, I just do not see it. Sure, EIU will have plenty of money, but unless they can find a way to get that money into NIL and start paying players or give out more scholarships, it's not going to matter a whole lot for a majority of the schools.
Those conference schools will have a quicker finger on buying out a coach that is not performing and winning, the secondary sports will get money moved the them so they will improve, but how much more in infrastructure can a school like EIU pump into the football and basketball programs? They have rebuilt basically everything over East over the past 10 years, so unless they plan on ripping down the south endzone and redoing it, how is the money going to improve them that much? And if it is going too, would not the other conference schools also see the same improvement?
As long as Big 12 and ACC schools can keep the money gap halfway close to the other two, I just do not see a huge shift in the balance. More really good teams, also means more really good teams playing each other and racking up losses.
Obviously it's not a PSU, tOSU, Michigan level gig. But it's an upper-half B1G program that has a whole lot of money, elite facilities and resources, and historically offers ridiculous job security for those who want it. Still, if a young climber were to come in and achieve great success, I have no doubt it would be a stepping stone for them to something bigger/better in the B1G or SEC. But there's no denying it's a pretty plum job that's going to be able to throw a lot of $$$ at any new HC.Gonzo, in your opinion, just how good of job is it? Level of Penn State, Michigan or more like MSU and Illinois? I never said it was a horrible job, its better than ISU, but their largest advantage is going away, so just how good of a job is it.
