Maybe he thinks he will be considered as the replacement HC if GMac doesn't last past next season. He is certainly qualified from a pure coaching perspective, he obviously doesn't have much recruiting experience at the college level but with the right staff, he could manage that.

I have a friend that is a cheerleader/dancer for the Energy and she, without me mentioning it, told me that Nurse is going to Iowa State. I know that is a strange source to hear it from, but a) she brought it up out of nowhere and b) she has absolutley no reason to lie to me about such a thing.
I have only been to a couple Energy games, what stuck out was Nurse had a connection with his players which is no small feat in my opinion at the D-League level. He also seemed to have some appreciation for the season ticket holders (all 1,500 of them?). How D-League success translates to College Coaching, I don't know - but I will say if you can keep a lot of NBA hopefuls happy in the D League - then I like his chances at helping with player relations at ISU.
I hope he bring an offense that works.
I really do wonder if this is a head coach in waiting type of thing.

I would like to hope not. If we fire Mac, we better come up with a better replacement than a guy who doesn't have any head coaching experience in college.
Why oh why God to i continue to come hear and read these idiotic posts?!?
HC in waiting....are you new?!! Christ
HOW?
Why would you let a coach who has not had any positive results from a win loss standpoint hire the guy who is going to take over for him?
A) if he were fired, the guy he picked would not replace him.
B) If it's a coach in waiting and he isn't fired, he's got like 20 years left on his coaching career.
It's happened, one recent occurence I recall off the top of my head is Dabo Sweeney replacing the fired Tommy Bowden as Clemson FB coach. Sweeney was on Tommy's staff.

Idiocy on message boards is not a new concept but it sure has gone up exponentially.
