Dick Allen Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 I'm an Iowa alum and was an Alford backer until Pierce let him down the second time. I wanted him gone, but he's changed his staff, and suddenly is recruiting better players. I actually have optimism about the Iowa program again. I think he's learned from his mistakes. Now if he could only get his players to be able to shoot like him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted June 20, 2006 Author Share Posted June 20, 2006 I think most ISU fans in the state are thrilled and quite a few Hawk fans will be pissed. A lot of people thought he turned the corner in the Big 10 this year, but the failure to beat any team named Northwestern hangs over his head. Now I just hope McDermott is as good of a coach as everyone seems to think he is. A part of me still hates him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabyJesus69 Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 he's screwed up with good recruits before, but it's really at the point right now that it's going to do a lot more damage than good to get rid of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I just hope McDermott is as good of a coach as everyone seems to think he is. A part of me still hates him. A couple of tough losses to Northwestern in consecutive years hurts. Winning the Big 10 Tournament took a lot of the sting out of those losses however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He even did a pretty damn good job of coaching last year for the most part and like Dick says we've been recruiting a bit better as of late.
