Call it the "un-official Hawkeyenation opinion" on what will happen.
Don't vote for what you want to happen, vote on what you think will happen.

Well why not just make a poll then?

Personally, I think the situation is too far gone for Barta to do anything but cut Lickliter loose. I've been of the opinion all season that Lickliter should at least get one more year to see what he can do with a full returning roster - but if Barta brings him back now, after the events of the past few days, the anger in the Iowa fan base will be out of this world.

I'll go on the record as saying Barta will officially fire Lickliter on Tuesday.

I still believe, and we'll probably never know, that Barta's intention was to have Lickliter "resign" citing health reasons, but Lickliter, being the stubborn man he is, made sure to say in his post-game presser that he's "healthy", even though no one asked him about it. That guy made a career at Iowa of making things more difficult than they needed to be. Even during pre & post game Q&A with Dolphin, Dolphin would serve up softballs and Lick would pass. Oh well, he'll get a decent buyout and serve out the remainder of his career as a mid-major assistant.

This aint popular, but I think he stays, gets the ball rolling a bit next year, and we are in the NCAA's with Lick at the helm in 2012.

[storminspank]

I honestly don't have a fight it his one. I have no idea what's going to happen.
I'm just curious to see how far the numbers get skewed one way.

I followed the rules and voted what I think happens, not what I want. I said I think he is gone, now not necessarily fired, but gone. I want to give him next year at the least.

If I was going to get a 2.5 million dollar buyout in the event I got fired, I'd be pretty stubborn about it too.

Re: Is there anyone who believes Lick will still be coach next year?
I think he'll get one more year.

Touche.
I supposed I should have clarified. I don't "know" what will happen... but that I "think" he'll stay.
That said, my confidence in that is as low as a level can be. I honestly don't know what'll happen. Then again, who does? Does Barta even know?

Actually if you're a Hawk fan you should have an opinion

Lick would have gotten a helluva buyout regardless. His choice was:

A) Save face and resign and take a nice going away present
B) Be stubborn as hell and essentially give a big F.U. to your AD on the way out the door and take a going away present.

I honestly cringe at the idea of him being back.....like it seriously disgusts me to think I have gotten this excited only for him to be back in Iowa City......

I agree, I have no idea and don't think many do..

For the record voted with what I think I see happening and that Lick is gone..
