About to be four years, and four NCAA Tournaments at Iowa State ... two Sweet 16's in first three years. Took over a dreadful situation and flipped it very quick. Plays a quality style ... 72 pos

If Drew turned down IU after turning down Kentucky, I don't know what job would get him to leave Baylor.

Kansas, if it came open?

North Carolina?

The point was that they went after a number of coaches that have been mentioned as possible Texas coaches. Money did not work with Drew or Otz. Drew turned Kentucky down last year. So it’s not always about all the money. The Kentucky offer was higher than what Drew made at Baylor. There have to be other factors that draw elite coaches to Texas. If opening the bank made coaches come here then let’s get Jon Scheyer, Pearl, Oats or Hurley.

This is the problem. A money-whip (TM) only works when someone is willing to be whipped. If you have a pretty good-sized bank account by your own standards and don't want to lose the biggest job you might get in two years... you stay where you are.

Or you don't want to lose the life you have.

We don’t know what kind of money they have or offered 

Expand  

Kentucky offered more money. They are a blue-blood program. Some coaches don’t need to be the highest paid coach. They make millions, win and are happy in their communities. They have already built what they wanted at the school they are at. Gerry said he was hearing Indiana’s top choice was Drew. Otz was second, hell they were down to the Drake coach at one point. Did you see how much money the Lakers offered Hurley last year? Showing a wad of cash to a coach only works if that coach can be money whipped. Urban Meyer said no.

I bet after the Jacksonville fiasco, he wonders if he should've said yes, lol.

Coaching LeBron seems like an objectively bad job to have considering you have no say in roster and if he wants you fired, you’re fired.

Who were the idiots that wanted Barnes and Beard fired?

Expand  

Beard deserved to be fired and the program trajectory under Barnes was tanking so he needed to be let go as well at the time.

I'm not well versed in the Basketball world as I'd like to be, but what makes this a home run hire, according to Mr Fanta over here.

Expand  

One school not in the post season and snubbed for an NCAA tournament bid gets the first year coach from another such school.  Match made in heaven. 

But DeVries is a very good coach who might come with a very good player attached.  I wasn't that big on Tucker, but that 26 point, 6 assist, 0 turnover game in the OT win over Arizona made me a believer that he can be a good P5 player.
