Could this be Izzo's Last Hurrah?

[What Would Jesus Do?]

I haven't heard anything to suggest he's planning to retire, but at 70 Izzo strikes me as one of those aging coaches who may not want to play much longer in this new NIL world. He's always struck me as the kind of coach who develops his players - and got good results that way. Like Roy. Having to scavenge for portal players who don't know the Izzo way might not appeal.

He only has 2 freshmen coming in. #50 and #52.

Half of his top 6 players are seniors.

It won't surprise me if he sticks around. But it wouldn't surprise me if he doesn't, either.

one national championship in 30 years?

If it does end up being the end of the line you have to imagine a mass portal exodus.

On the other hand Dean coached 36 years at Carolina and won 2! Let’s not throw shade when it isn’t needed. Izzo is a good coach and a hall of famer. Money says he leaves after this year, as well he should.

Did I say he wasn't a good coach? He's had one national championship in 30 years. That's all I said. Dean Smith caught a lot of flack because he only won two championships, but he was a good coach.


Don't tell me about throwing shade at head coaches. You guys have enough circle jerk Hubert hating threads as it is.
