KXNO pushing hard for Coach TJ and Drake
- Thread starter Madclone1
- Start date
There just giving their opinion that he would be a great hire for them. I agree it would be a great hire for them. I'm not sure he would want it, but it would be a great hire for them. They aren't starting rumors that he is interviewing or anything.
What would have been inappropriate is if they had asked him about the job when they had him on to talk about the tournament this afternoon, but they didn't. Why does everyone try so hard to be butthurt about what is said on that station?
Butthurt = overused & misapplied on virtually every post. Thanks for the insight though.
You are more or less asking if you should be offended here, trying to tease out some kind of perceived insult. That is the very definition of butthurt.
Career suicide for TJ. Will have other (better) opportunities. No reason to jump at this job. None.
If abdelmassih or Mann got this job, I could see it, but TJ just has too much going for him to take this one.
I think sticking with ISU for a few more tourney runs will be better for TJ and his recruting prowess.
oliceman:They're, their, there... learn it!
Why use "payed" when you could use "paid" like 99% of Americans?
There, I feel better now.

Unless the State of Iowa salary website is wrong, TJ makes just over $200K. This website would not include bonuses, if any. But it seems to me that if he builds his resume a few more years with FH, he will have much, much better opportunities ahead.
Maybe Fran will apply. I suspect he is getting plenty of heat in Iowa City over the pre-season schedule he set up. With the relatively weak B10 schedule, this was the year to make a move with the program. Next year's B10 schedule may not be as accommodating.

Don't even consider Drake. It's a program that will bury almost all head coaches.
A few things:
1. Again, we are working on borrowed time with TJ. We are lucky he stuck it out here through the entire McDermott era. We are lucky he decided to stay here with Fred. We are lucky he started dating someone around here. The fact that he is spending less and less time recruiting means that he is more and more ready to probably move on. But he will eventually move on. That's just the facts.
2. Other than location and the fact that he may want to stay in Iowa, the Drake job doesn't offer much. It is a deadend job at a school that doesnt' value basketball. He'd be better off going to a worse conference at a school that would be interested in building a program.
3. While TJ is an attractive candidate for any school, he might not be the type of guy Drake is looking for this time around. Phelps was a youngish assistant known for his recruiting. TJ is a young assistant known for his recruiting. Drake has said that they want someone who has been a head coach this time.
4. It's not like Brinson and Miller had this thought on their own. They are not that bright.
