New Assistants

[Flagship Girl]

I just wanna say I hope Chris Foster stays, because his wife cuts my hair and she does a kick-bootay good job of it, too! Is that selfish?

(just trying to inject a little humor!)

I think and hope Jon Little will be the new GA for the team

The DM register is reporting Robbie Sieverding (currently an assistant for Marty McDermott at U of Dubuque) as a candidate.

Assuming they are qualified as the main factor, I would love to see more UNI alum get a chance to coach here. We've had pretty good success in a number of sports with alumni doing a great job, along with an AD who has also done a great job.

UNI will never be able to compete moneywise with the big boys, but sometimes love for the school can be just as big a motivating factor. It's even conceivable to me that some alumni coaching here would stay loyal even when the big boys come calling with their big money. See Bobbi Petersen.

That'd be good. Robbie is a good guy and would do a nice job.

[BMPanther]

Sieverding would be a huge pickup as an assistant. He had a successful year at U of D and has his feet wet with college coaching. Great guy, well spoken, and has a vast knowledge of the game. I think he would be a great fit.

I'd love to see Ben Miller in Cedar Falls. I doubt you'll be able to get him out of Springfield. I think the pay is better and Springfield is a nice town. But...I'd love to see him up here coaching for the purple and gold.

He would have been a strong candidate to replace Mac had we not already had Jake primed for the job.

I don't think the money would be that different.. Barry only makes $115,000 TOTAL PACKAGE!!

Wow! That's pretty low, even for a MVC school. Jake's even making more than that, isn't he? You gotta think that he'd be jumping at the first gig that came along that offered him at least twice that.

[jordana33]

That is low. I have a friend down there who said that Missouri State is in worse shape than we are financially. Which really made me all the more suprised that TA took that job.

[BCPanther]

But TA has a clause in his contract that says that if they deemphasize he is free to leave!!

New coach

Look for a new assistant from lewis university

[Khan4Cats]

I would throw another panther from the past name out:
Troy Muilenberg- has been head basketball coach at Ellsworth Comm. College for several years now. Head experience/recruiting/contacts at the JUCO level.

Do you think Kyle Green would come back as an assistant? He already left to be an assistant at Marquette then became head coach at Lewis. Wouldn't coming back to UNI be a step down?
