[QUOTE=jparmley3;72488]I sure hope if I have my worst day at work ever that my boss would fire me. QUOTE]

I don't know if Lick will turn it around or not but nobody should be fired for having their worst day at work. The best employee in the world is going to have his worst day sometime...so everyone in the world should be fired?

And one more quick question, is the basketball team playing in Kinnick next year? That'll be some cold nights..

[tweeterhawk]

I think he and Gary will have a big sit-down after the BTT and set new goals for next year but that Lick will be back.

[CFHawk]

He won't be fired, though he should be.

What if Iowa goes out and gets rocked for the 3rd straight game to end the season? Lick's buyout is a drop in the bucket compared to what they will lose in tix, concessions and what they make from football and the BTN.

Yeah why do the smart thing and fire a coach who has had the very worst 3 years in Iowa basketball and the worst of the 3 is his 3rd year. Seriously Barta would have to be a total moron to keep him.

He is stepping down...you heard it here first!

[BradBanks02]

Who would coach the game Friday then?

Step down from his highest paid job he has ever had. Highly unlikely.

[jmichel23]

He will coach the Big 10 tourney and announce after that...look for it

He has enough money to be set for life as it is and will get more for stepping down and go back to coaching at a smaller school. I'm looking forward to his announcement and wish Lick the best.

[jmichel23]

In no way am I saying it is a given but I think it will happen

Will get more for stepping down and going to a smaller school? How do you figure?

By being given an amount of money to walk away from the sitaution he is in............a buy out that makes him a free agent.

[Reeon]

I would think that he should be gone, but I think he will be retained for another year, maybe.
