Watching the Presser online...
- Thread starter ISU_Alum_2000
- Start date
The cheerleaders are a nice touch, though in some screens, all you can see is the coach, AD and a bunch of legs.... I'm thinking it's great, some may not.
For those that didn't see...
JP said that one of the assistant AD's was diabetic and had a small episode, probably due to lack of food. He should be OK (thank goodness!).

What I liked:
GC is as professional as you can be, and he seemed extremely serious.
What I didn't like:
- Not much humor
- Never said "Go cyclones!"
- No specific answers to key questions unlike Greg M saying he will introduce the concept of defense and bring back the hilton magic.
First impression:
- This man knows what he is capable of
- He knows he won't get away with BS-ing
- He loves small town, and he is full of family values
Overall:
I like him, its about time we hire someone who does LESS TALKING and produce MORE RESULTS.
Tremendous coach, no doubt about it..

I didn't get a great vibe from him... from what I saw, he looked nervous, almost like he wasn't sure what he was doing there. I guess I got spoiled by G-Mac's presser, and it's probably easier to move in-state than it is to move 10+ hours from your home.
It was almost like they were trying to make him say "i will promise a championship by 2008". He knows he has work to do, and he knows it won't be easy. I'm not sure what the reporters were fishing for.
I agree. The one asking "What are your short term and long term goals?" was the worst. Sounded like a student reporter to me. What's he supposed to say? Win X number of games next year, win the national title 4 years from now?
Maybe there would have been more/better questions later. It seemed the thing was shortened anyway due to the medical emergency.
GMac, coming from within Iowa and seeing ISU regularly covered in the press, probably had a lot better idea of what the MBB team needed.
