Wow, wasn't expecting that. Guy seems like he still has a lot of energy and has it rolling there.

How do their fans feel about nepotism?

Probably a lot better about it than we do

Looks bad. Does it at a time when school is almost forced into hiring his kid.

it’s a bad look.

 

[hawksfan2025]

He was good at K-State

 

[QCHawkeye]

Leaving to possibly run for politics. Yuck.

 

[Pentacrest]

I wonder how this change will impact Matt Gatens who recently joined their staff.

Will Kevin Overton transfer to Iowa after this season??

 

[QChawks]

I always thought he’d look good in black and gold

 

[Trakker]

Probably getting out ahead of another ncaa violation

Whenever Bruce Pearl comes up I always remember the Illinois recruit payment scandal. Pearl was asked by the NCAA about a recruit that Iowa & Illinois (among others) was recruiting heavily. IIRC, he had recordings of the recruit admitting to getting cash, cars, whatever from Illinois. It got Illinois in trouble and increased their hatred of Iowa even more. I worked in Chicago with a lot of Illinois grads and they weren't mad at the program for blatant cheating, they were mad that they got caught because (in their mind) everybody cheated.

And, right on que, I see this article:

Well, the portal window is open for 30 days, because of the coaching change, right?

Interesting. He wasn't there when Ben was there was he? The Drake connection could pay dividends.

I just don’t really think he would transfer with the season so close. He’s also already started classes at Auburn but idk he might transfer now

 

[EIHCGuy]

F Illinois.

The original McCaffrey plan.. this is why Connor is so bitter.

Is he? If so, he needs to zip it. Fran made life changing money while at Iowa and had a longer run than most.

 

[DShawkeye]

Didn't realize Gatens went down to Auburn. Think he was on Pearl's staff once before

maybe sooner.

Good for Matt.

You're just jealous because KF wanted to do the exact same thing but got called out by his new boss first.

 

[Athena45]

Ok

 

[Palmerhawk]

Robbie Hummel going to CBS also
Hope he still will do BTN games.
Not surprised by CBS grabbing pearl and Hummel...talents.

Bruce is doing the game right now on TNT between Michigan and his son's Auburn team.

It's annoying he can't turn off the bias.

Auburn down 23 to Michigan with 2:38 left 1st half.

I am definitely chuckling at that. He has said Steven is ready 10 times now.

So ridiculous to have him doing that game.

 

[HawksRule25]

This was fun ... watch the bench jump with him as he dunks it. Bruce had to love this.
