Re: Looks Like Keno Is Gone From Drake

I can see where Drake fans are a little peeved, Point being Keno doesn't get that job unless his daddy stepped aside specifically for him to take it.

That being said turning down a million a year for seven years to keep coaching at Drake or UNI or Butler,, I don't see a situation where that is going to happen.

Re: Looks Like Keno Is Gone From Drake

The way i look at it is, if i was at a job making 20,000 and another compayn came in and asked me to do the same job that i was doing but i would make 100,000 a year i would not even hesitate to yes. I would be there in a heart beat and eveyone on here knows that they would do the same

Rumor has it (and that's all I can say it is) that Barry Hinson is in Des Moines...

Personally, I think that would be a pretty good hire. A class guy...competitive teams...We'll see. I'm all for keeping his memorable quotes in the MVC.

Calls for speculation.

more money does not make the "job" better...it makes life easier.

FWIW, I've heard this too. That would be a monster hire for Drake.

Re: Looks Like Keno Is Gone From Drake

Most of the places I've heard the Hinson rumor have been message boards....has anyone actually heard this from someone you know on campus?

Re: Looks Like Keno Is Gone From Drake

What do you mean, message boards aren't 100% proof? I think you are wrong...By the way, I heard that Kevin Love is not going to the NBA and is transfering to UNI.

Re: Looks Like Keno Is Gone From Drake

Drake is getting interest from some very good candidates for this opening. That would not have happened at any point prior to this past season (other than maybe 38 years ago).

So they owe Keno and Tom for getting the program to a place where they will be able to hire a much better replacement than they otherwise would have.

In the final analysis, none of us smaller schools without immense resources will ever be able to hang onto any coach that brings great success to our teams, it's a real catch 22. That's just the market we live in now, the days of a coach staying somewhere for a long long career are gone.

The attempted analagies to other professions don't make much sense, this never happens to accountants, teachers, lawyers, or pretty much anyone else. Most regular people would be thrilled to get a 25% raise someday to change jobs.

Sports and acting are the only jobs I can think of offhand where someone can see their income increase tenfold overnight. There may be others I'm not thinking of, but very few. Only professions where there are a very limited number of top talented individuals, or at least there is perceived to be a very limited number of top talented individuals will ever see this type of market.

If it was on DrakeNation.com then it has to be true (it is on DN ).

A) What part of "rumor has it" don't folks on here understand? This ain't the New York Times.

B) "I think you are wrong"...I'm assuming you're "inside" non-message board sources are telling you this. Of course, since you have now posted this on a message board, it cannot possibly be true.

Dude.....honestly. I was making a joke. You need to relax.

Re: Looks Like Keno Is Gone From Drake

I think Dr. Tom will come back out of retirement and take the position.

The New York Times has not exactly been immune to printing rumors and speculation either. Ask John McCain.

Re: Looks Like Keno Is Gone From Drake

Interesting that Keno is back in Des Moines now. He met with each member of the team and is fullfilling all sorts of media requests. He's even doing an hour of live radio with Cotlar this morning
