Maybe we can "steal" Randy Ball* from Drake.

    * For the younger fans out there - UNI hiring an ex-WIU head coach is mentioned in the Bible...and not in a good way.
    Get a clue !!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sorry but this bashing of Dannen by a few who sit in their recliners and search for something to b----about is disgusting. Do you throw things at your dog too? Four posts Roy? New here huh? You might want to read up on our AD's accomplishments in his few short months on the job before you start dishing on him. And no, I'm not going to list them, others have done that. Find out for yourself. In other words----GET A CLUE.

    You don't break out the Purple and Gold on game days or look for special gifts and gadgets bearing the colors because you want to be seen among the loyal. Purple and Gold aren't colors you see---they're colors you feel. They run through your veins with a continuous roar.

A few years ago we had a local athletic who played at Pitt and then transfered to UNI to finish his career. He was recruited by Rhoads to Pitt and loves the guy and is excited about his hire. Who was he?
      The guy with the dreads and the mismatched socks and stuff.......Terrell Allen?

        Dannen has done a great job. None of the canidates had a proven track record.

          [QUOTE=UNIFanSince1983;151761]Goodwin came from Akron, but I believe he went to high school in Pittsburgh. My guess would be Mark Moothart.

          UNIFAN you are correct, Mark was a Columbus Waterloo all state football player class of 1997 and went to Pitt, Mark was recruited by Rhoads and has great respect for the man. Mark had some injuries and later came a head coaching change that changed the whole offensive philosophy at Pitt, so he decided to come home to finish his career as a Panther!

            Because the last Defensive coordinator that ISU hired worked out so well for them.
            At least the HC we hired doesn't have a 5-19 record..
            After watching the press conference, I already think PR is going to be a better head coach than our previous. And if he does start winning soon, I wouldn't expect him to bolt for a better job at first chance. He has a lot of roots here in central Iowa and sounds very enthusiastic about this job, unlike GC when he got here.
            Another funny thing is that in 2002 Tubberville offered PR to be the DC at Auburn, but he turned it down, only to then be offered to GC. Which in my book says something about Rhoads. It was also reported that Saban was going to hire Rhoads as his DC in 2009.

              Since I have only four posts that is proof that I have only been a UNI fan for a matter of days, I guess. I'll take your word for it. Also, my post regarding Randy Ball was not a criticism of Dannen. It was just a joke about the posible head coaching candidates UNI would have if Farley left. Maybe you know Randy Ball's Gateway history, maybe not.

                Re: ISU Coaching Potential Hires:

                Why would UNI resort to hiring Randy Ball?

                The next hire (whenever that may be) will come from the Panther Tree.

                UNI will never become a Juco Program.

                  OMG!!! I hope Coach Farley has better sense than go to ISU!!! Look what happened to Coach Allen @ Kansas (and Farley was there!). Look what's happening to Coach McDermott.....it's a coaching graveyard.

                    Yeah, we're all still on the edge of our seat on this one.

                      Re: ISU Coaching Potential Hires:

                      From a UNI perspective, this is a terrible hire. Gene Chizik was beginning to impersonate Jim Walden and recruit a lot of out of state kids. This is good for UNI as we can recruit the kids who Iowa doesn't want, yet want to stay in the state. Rhoads' Iowa roots will cause him to go after the best Iowa kids he can get. It's tougher for UNI to recruit when ISU goes after many of the same Iowa kids that UNI does. Much better with someone at ISU who has a tendency to look more outside the state than inside.

                        I disagree.

                        For example.
                        Football: Coach Mac after ISU - coached at USF and at one point in the season was ranked #1 or 2, I can't remember. He is now coaching at Florida and will be in the National Championship. He is also a strong candidate for the HC job at Army. Whether he gets that job or not, he will be a HC again someday.
                        Chizik after ISU - Head coach at Auburn, even after a 5-19 record.

                        Basketball: Tim Floyd after ISU - Left ISU for the Chicago Bulls HC. Is now at USC and turned that program around to make it respectable in the nation.
                        Larry Eustachy after ISU - HC at the University of Southern Miss. Even after getting fired from ISU...

                        I don't see how that is a graveyard. Just because we don't win 10 games/year and win the Big 12 championship doesn't mean our coaches don't succeed after the leave ISU. In fact, in the past 15ish years in football and basketball, the only coach without a coaching job is Wayne Morgan.

                        And I think Coach Mac will get our bball program turned around next year. We should see some decent progress this year, but next year will be the year we make a strong run at the NCAA tourny. We have 2 huge recuits comin in, Gilstrap and Colvin (who is ranked in the ESPN top 100) plus the guys we have now. The only people we lose are Peterson, Haluska, and Thompson.. Not huge losses by any means.

                          Maybe using McCarney isn't a good example because I still think he should still be there. I know hindsight is 20/20, but he probably should not have gotten fired.

                            Not that this has anything to do with anything but I still think it's funny that the last Iowa team to win a game in the NCAA tourney was ISU and Wayne Morgan was the head coach.

                            both Drake and Iowa have been seeded in like the top 5 since and lost first round.
                            "I think they're very good," Farley said of the preseason top 25 Hawkeyes. "But so are we."

                              I think the 'coaching graveyard' tag applied to ISU applies to football, and not necessarily to basketball. I'm not sure Larry Eustachy would have left but for his scandal.

                                I only referred to basketball because he referenced G McD.
