GRAYER RETURNING TO MICHIGAN


As far as I remember, McKnight and Godfrey pretty much committed when they were here that weekend. So I think we all thought/knew that they were coming before the news broke about McDermott on Saturday night and Sunday. After McDermott left on Monday, they obviously didn't sign, but did after Hoiberg was hired. I count them as McDermott guys. I remember thinking that McDermott had had one of his best recruiting weekends when all the **** was hitting the fan.

And kg as far as the sly comments about TJ being the face of the program and the one that is really in charge, I think I speak for a few people when I say thanks for bringing this to light. Good to know that since TJ is the brains behind the program that it was clearly not his fault that things went bad the last several years. It doesn't make McDermott look any better when you say that he had practically the best assistant in the entire world working for him and things STILL didn't work out.

It does seem to me that you are trying to tell us that he isn't all that happy with his behind the scenes role, etc. It does no one any good to hint around at this crap. Just like it did no good to do the same type of thing with McDermott.

As far as Grayer goes, I am disappointed. It was crappy timing that no one could help that he was ever hired. But that was just bad luck. I don't like the timing of the whole thing and I wish he would have stayed for the year. I guess I could have kind of seen him getting an assistant job when TJ left (which if you read between some lines on here, he has one foot out the door anyway) or when Lutz left.

I'm sure this wasn't easy for Freddy either. Remember, he grew up around the ISU program and I'm sure he has known for years what Jeff meant to the program.

Note that despite this, Freddy is doing exactly what Chizik was unwilling or unable to do until he learned it the hard way. He is surrounding himself with what he needs rather than the sentimental choice just as mt85 stated above.

Absolutely...that is exactly what the mentality we need to move ahead.
 
Is this a scenario where ISU will be paying another settlement - similar to the Nick Nurse situation?
That would be my guess. Just like Nurse. A contract is a contract unless it is politics.
:notworthy:

Personally, I think this sucks. I just hope it was Jeff's decision to leave as oppossed to being forced out. Family first.
 
Be careful with that CW...Some people don't like that.:wink:

You have not told the truth once on this website. All you do is say things that don't make sense and put periods behind it.

Ex:

Some people don't understand what is going on inside the athletic program but all is good.............



Nothing of substance. Ever. In any of your posts. Now whenever you post it comes off as a very bitter kid who can't handle what looks to be positive events that are going on at Iowa state.
 
Kind of difficult with the bomb he planted in the program.

that kinda acne will finally clear up if Fred can correct.

It's not really that difficult. The sooner people stop bringing up his name in a thread that doesn't even have to do with him, the sooner those 4 years will be forgotten. Isn't that what people want!?!?
