[ELL3]

Already can here the  K-State guys "Well the last time we hired someone from Iowa it went pretty darn well" 

[Skipper44]

someone tell me if this person will be good at hiring basketball coaches

do you think Tim Miles is a good coach?

as a matter of fact i dont

I agree (especially at the P5 level)

This NDSU guy looks like someone that will hire Steve Henson in 11 months

[Dr Rick Daris]

if it's taylor then it can only mean that Obrien turned us down. sad.

LOL @ me thinking this could be a chain of events that led to hocutt, venzy, and kelvin sampson

i will never underestimate the levels by which our university can let us down.  pay hocutt and get him back, good grief it isn't that hard.  what we're left is that he'd rather be at texas tech than here, feels great.

[Dr Rick Daris]

[Trim]

Taylor, Bohl, Miles

[steve dave]

Man, Taylor looks like a not gigantic loser after all this toledo old guy smoke. SCHEME'D!

[AppleJack]

I can't get behind anyone named Gene.

Taylor oversaw (as we unfortunately know) a dominating D2 football program that he helped develop. Yes, it is D2, but he's used to winning and probably does not like losery coaches. He went to Iowa where we have seen them slowly begin to resurrect their football program from the bottom of the Big10 and their BBall team hasn't been horrible.

Taylor is not a home run, but he's a Billy Butler Triple, IMO.

Athletic director Gene Taylor is leaving Fargo to take the No. 2 position in athletics at Iowa, with hopes of someday landing the top job at a Bowl Championship Subdivision school. Taylor, who will work under Hawkeyes athletic director and former NDSU quarterback Gary Barta, said this is his best route.

"Some may not necessarily agree with that. Believe me I can't tell you how many people I've talked to about this because I knew this was going to be such an agonizing decision," Taylor said. "Those that I talked to in the profession, including Gary, have indicated that if the BCS route is the way I want to go, this may be the step I have to take."

Only took him 3 years to make his dreams a reality.  Stud boss.

does not compute

[steve dave]

plus, from all indications he doesn't give a eff about basketball. LHC Bill Snyder got his man.

[The Big Train]

This is so exciting!

Would we all agree the most important aspect on if an AD does a good job or not is hiring/firing of coaches?

[Gooch]

Is this Iowa guy loser'y, kinda loser'y, or not loser'y?
