McDermott owes Chizik big time

[Kramer]

Thanks to the crazy ISU football weekend, people don't seem to be talking much about the pitiful display in Iowa City by the men's basketball team. Maybe McDermott can fly under the radar for a while longer while the search for a new football coach continues or MAYBE the expectations have been lowered for hoops and people are just too exhausted to care anymore. I'm not sure that this team can recover from the losses to Drake and UI. Hopefully wrong but I have my doubts.

Is there an echo in here?

People are aware of the shape the bball team is in. The problem is, nobody cares right now with the Chizik saga. The light will shine McD's way soon enough.

The Iowa loss means squat to me now. I'm concerned about the vacancy in our football head coaching position. BBall can take a back seat until a new coach is hired.

Sure makes Mac look like a good guy in all of this.

apples and oranges.

More like comparing a molehill with mount everest.

 

[cyclonez7]

As long as Mac has integrity, he's got my support.

 

[Bobber]

Mac is a good guy, and let's not forget his team is really young.

The Iowa loss was very disappointing.

 

[jsmith86]

Agreed. As long as a coach stays faithful to us and is competent(meaning not trying to lose), they have my support.

Comparison: like a gentleman to a swindler.

 

[HandSanitizer]

The team is Young plus he built this team around an future NBA prospect that bounced faster than Chizik did.

 

[jsmith86]

Agreed with supporting Mac that is.

At least McD is in it for the long haul and is an Iowa guy.

He has time, we have bigger problems at this point.

The only way GMAC does not put ISU back on the map is if we don't give him time to. I hope he is coaching here ten years from now.

I say we just give Greg time and things will work out. He is a great guy and a good coach (and a decent recruiter), it is just a matter of time. I think the worst is behind us from a B-Ball stand point (with Stinson, Blalock, Taylor, and Johnson all leaving before their time).

I've been on vacation for a week...glad I missed the meltdown, but I would definitely have to agree with this thread.

I am as disappointed as anybody with the losses to Drake and Iowa; so much so that I’ve literally lost sleep. However, I’m staying behind this team. They need us as fans now more then ever. I encourage everybody to keep going to the games and cheering loudly. The next 5 home dates are going to be small crowds due to the recent disappointing losses, who we are playing (Jacksonville State, South Dakota State, Mercer, SIU-Edwardsville, and Houston Baptist), and the fact that they are break games. Fan-up, go to the games, and cheer loud!!!

I'm still behind the guys on the floor but I have been just as disappointed in some of the wins as I have the losses...
