Steve Alford New HC at UNM

[Bennett4UT]

Just heard that Steve Alford is the new HC at New Mexico. What a disappointment he was at Iowa. Will he have better luck at New Mexico?

Probably not. The simple fact is, he's not a very good coach.

Hell of a jumper tho...

You mean he is not going to Michigan?

Doug Gottlieb and Ryan Rosilo (sp?) were touting Alford as a great coach and hire on ESPN radio

I have great respect for Doug. However, great coaches don't have a losing conference record after 5+ years at a school.

Bad move. UNM has a lot of ground to regain, and it's not going to be easy with programs like Air Force, UNLV and BYU having their success.

I'm surprised there aren't threads or posts about Pearl bolting to Iowa given he was an assistant there at one time.

Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not totally sure, but didn't Pearl have some recruiting indiscretions at Iowa?

Yeah, guess that was when he was at Iowa.

I just heard CBP is at the top of Iowa's list. A customer at work today saw my UT watch and told me CBP was coming to Iowa (stupid Iowa fans) and I laughed in his face, and continued to sell him two bolts.

No, he didn't have them. Illinois did.
