    Good place. He might take this one. Midwest guy. Nice place to live and it's in the Missouri Valley Conference. MVC will suffer plenty with Creighton gone but it'll be a solid conference. Ray's a solid character and I'd hate to see him go.

      Agree Doc.....MVC is ripe for the picking with Creightons departure and building a program could lead to long term success

            I'll bet Ray goes. Just a feeling.

              Drake will get a good catch if he goes there.

                Unfortunately, I don't think this job is all that great. Creighton departing the MVC is going to hurt their status as a league. But RayG wants to be a head coach again, and these are the kinds of jobs that are being offered to him. Personally, I think he deserves better. Perhaps he could use Drake as a stepping stone.

                  Congrats to Ray. Change is good, for everyone. I hope he gets the job. Wasn't he the defence coach?

                    I know there's a lot of sentiment to bring in an "elite-level" assistant if Giac or Daniels leaves. But what about the grad assistants, both of whom are Zags? At some point, doesn't one of them deserve to get a full-time gig?

                      Surely the Zags will open applications to members of the GUB.

                          Tornados, Humidity & Pig Poop

                          Going to the state with the highest amount of pig manure exports sounds like a winner to me !!

                          Seriously though, Ray G would likely be taking a pay cut to go there. And this is on top of losing his shorts to the pyramid schemer who committed suicide a few years ago. Whatever millions he got from the Utah job is long gone.

                          Maybe he figures he needs to have some success as a head coach again before he can get a better paying high profile job.

                            I want all Zags to succeed, but I actually don't want him to go anywhere. If we lose Daniels and Giacoletti both at once, that will hurt more than the 2nd round loss.

                            If we use the logic of some doomsayers, the loss will be so damaging that recruits will not choose GU. Then why do schools want our staff that orchestrated such a bad loss?

                            Our program improved a lot this year. We got 4-5 more wins than normal, a #1 ranking and a #1 seed. In fact we did so well, we might just lose our staff because we did so well.

                              Fwiw, Drake is located in a terrible area of Des Moines. Home of the famed Drake Relays, last time I was there barbed wire surrounded the stadium.
