Congratulations if you were ever betting on "the field"
A whole lot of people were certain we'd be hearing about Rick Majerus announced as early as tomorrow as the new Iowa coach. Oh, wait....
Former Utah Coach Rick Majerus emphatically denied Friday he has any interest in coaching Iowa's men's basketball team.Well. Now that the multitudinous rumors about Majerus begging to come here have all been flatly rejected, now what? Reggie Theus? Chris Lowery?
Asked in a phone interview if there were any discussions involving him as Iowa's next coach, Majerus said, ``No, no.''
Told there were rumors and reports flying around Iowa that he is replacing Steve Alford as the Hawkeyes' coach, Majerus replied, ``No.''
Asked if he had any interest in becoming Iowa's next coach, Majerus said, ``What part of no don't you understand?''
And told later that a Cedar Rapids television station reported he'd met with Iowa Athletics Director Gary Barta last night, Majerus said, ``No, I have not.''
Sorry to bring you into the weekend with crappy news, Hawk fans. Majerus would have been an A+ hire.

I have no idea why anyone thinks a coach will be hired before the Final Four concludes and before Kentucky makes a hire. The Kentucky decision will have a ripple effect down the line on all the Tier Two jobs like ours.
I hope my formal offer to Majerus was enough? A million per for 4 is very reasonable. Plus, Iowa City has great food. I don't know what went wrong.
