McCarney leaves Iowa for new coaching path
McCarney describes 36 years of work as the toughest move of his life as he departs Iowa to pursue a new opportunity. He says the Hawkeyes will weather the loss of two veteran assistants and expand recruitment across the Midwest and East while avoiding direct conflicts with Wisconsin. Wyatt and Alvarez reflect on past ties and future chances, and Maine seeks a replacement for Lichtenberg after a 9-3 season culminating in a playoff loss.
