Agreed. He learned his lesson at Iowa State and has adjusted his style of play. With that being said i can't see Greg taking a step down.

Unfortunately it will be a lateral or step down for most coaches at this point. Iowa cant shell out the money and keep with having to pay out the stupid contract barta signed.
He has a job that I wouldn't leave. Similar to Marshall at Wichita State. You can get paid well, play in a good league and if you do well you can be there for your career. You don't have the oversized expectations of a bigger school that would come calling.
I agree with you here, much to the dismay of some other ISU fans here, I think both of them will be good. I think they're both going to need some extra hamburgers and fries with time in the weight room before they become high impact players.
Creighton is a better program than Iowa at this point and with the talent that is ignored in that city could really turn it into a upper level program going forward. Omaha and that Campus are also attractive to the kind of player you need to make a program upper end.
Then need some good athletes around them to be great though. I just do not see that as an option at this point.
I get the Marshall comparison but the thing with him is money. He has a giant contract.
Guys at smaller schools that I would look at if I were Iowa and they fire Fran.

As soon as I read that Iowa is starting to recruit a 250ish rated PG with no big P5 offers yesterday I came to the realization that Iowa is not getting Terry or Carton. So I have no confidence we will have the player needed to help Weiskamp or Patrick. Connor can run the offense but he is not the game changing PG we need.
Nevada is going to be stacked this year and an Elite 8 Final 4 run can happen. I think Musselman has set himself up for a giant job next year.
I could see a school like Maryland moving on. That would be a great fit.
I dunno. If Wojo doesn't do much this year, I would think Marquette's first phone call should be TJ. He would be a slam dunk there.
