How attractive is this job? I love the University of Iowa.' IMO this is not an attractive job to any well informed candidate. These are my opinions. 1. I believe the vb program has one winning season since 2000. 2. Three head volleyball coaches have been fired or not renewed now. 3. While the AD had admin experience at some good schools, he only had full AD responsibility at one, Wyoming, for just three years when given the Iowa job. 4. The AD played football and has garnered many awards as an administrator of football. 5. There are several reports indicating that the AD and senior staff focus almost completely on football and basketball. 6. On this ADs watch, there has been an ongoing series of department lawsuits charging lack of supervision and indifference and ill treatment of female coaches. 7. In addition to football, the ADs other passion is facilities. 8. I've lost track, but this AD has has at least six messy firings, forced resignations or non-renewal situations of female head coaches. 9. I have the impression this AD has done a poorer job than some managing through the financial challenges of Covid. Sadly, I don't know if this AD is competent, but the strong impression is that he is hostile to a number of female coaches and indifferent to volleyball. Today, this job does not look attractive to me.

So I would imagine, I long term contract deal would help negate many of those concerns. From what I hear they are talking to a bunch of people within the Big 10 about each candidate.

The AD has let one player and her parents destroy the volleyball program from top to bottom. He went against the recommendation of the faculty review committee.

Congratulations, Coach Barnes! Great to have you onboard. Excited about your extensive background, what we are reading/hearing about your coaching approach and for the future of Iowa volleyball. Go Hawks! At Baylor he recruited Fanning(AA mb) and pressley (oh) if baylor would have renewed contract He would have taken Baylor through the last 4 years of success! But school didnt see value in his incoming class! Now hope he can change Iowa’s dismal record: no reason for this program to struggle as much as it does! Good Luck JB
