ICR under HC Marv Cook. 1. Iowa City. 2. Hawkeye legend former pro the HC. 3. Marv's ability due to connections to assemble a great staff. 4. Kids who have parents that have to pay to send their kids there. Writing a check tends to be a good litmus test as it relates to commitment -- on many levels. 5. How many top kids want to play for that kind of staff that also has boat loads of credibility with coaches at the next level?
Speaking of ICR, will be three ICR grads that I can think of playing for Northwest this year that will contribute mightily. Bearcat defense has potential to be the best D in D2 history to follow up on a year they were seen as possibly the best in Northwest history. Loaded with past Iowa Prep standouts. Which is awesome. Kevin Arnold, DJ Gnader, Cody Matthewson, Collen Bevins (4 of the front 7 which is just plainly a sick front 7) all returning starters. Vollstedt from ICR and Klocko from Norwalk will contribute to this D in a big way too.
It would have to be a one-high school, 4A town. To eliminate the headache of losing quality players to competition, it would have to be far away from Xavier, Assumption, Dowling, or Heelan.It would have to have a rich tradition already established.It would be nice to have a city with a growth trend so numbers aren't an issue.Quality facilitiesHaving a university in town would be a bonus because it's handy having the children of coaches come through.
Answer: Cedar Falls.
Answer: Cedar Falls.
I guess it is a question of do you want to coach at Regina or do you want to coach with Marv Cook and staff. If Coach Cook takes another job and takes most his staff with him, would you want to follow or stay at Regina. And I have no idea if Cook will be there for 20 years or not, I just don't think he will.
Pretty sure it was implied that it was any "head" coaching job. Picking to be just on the staff that always wins is cheating. You need to be the one at the top having the most influence on your success....or failures. So I suppose that's why NoJustice opted to only be an assistant.

Just curious if your lovefest is with Marv or Regina. It almost sounds like you are either actively pursuing a position on his staff, or you could be a college recruiter trying to keep a pipeline to Regina by gushing over them constantly on message boards. If that is the case it would be a bit shady
Not offended at all. But No Justice is right, I am confused by his answer. Just asking for simple clarification. Does he want to just coach at Regina under the current staff, would he want to move with the current staff if they were to leave, would he want to be an assistant at Regina under any staff? Pretty simple questions.
I guess badgering goes both ways. But I will wait to hear it from No Justice. 2 of his 5 points would not hold true at all schools. Maybe someday Luke will start a thread titled " If you had your pick to coach with any Head Coach in Iowa for the next 20 years, who would it be and why?"
The thread title doesn't say your pick of any head coaching job. Being an assistant coach is a coaching job. Just because you feel it was implied that Luke was talking about head coaching jobs, doesn't make NJ's answer invalid.
This is ALL hypothetical, anyway. So the fact that Cook probably won't be at Regina for 20 years doesn't matter.

It's suppose to be implied though. That was my point. Taking an assistant job is the safe move (and cheap in terms of answering this question) because you're not the one that has to make all the decisions at the top.
Now NJ could've said co-head coach, in which case he'd share all the glory with Marv Cook, rather than work under him and ride his coattails of success as NJ implied he would gladly do in his own posts............

If you don't like my answer, did not know a business plan or life and objectives plan would be an assignment I need to complete for you.Pretty sure none if that would be in the cards anyway. Even if it were, what a boring post you are asking for.
