In fact, according to college basketball insider Trilly Donovan, DeVries has been in contact with two other programs in the last several days and weeks.According to Donovan, DeVries “had preliminary conversations” with Indiana about the possiblity of taking over the Hoosiers’ program, although he added that he didn’t believe there’s much traction in that direction right now. With that said, if Indiana strikes out on their top targets, DeVries will certainly be considered there.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">I’ve said all along, Iowa concerns me. It’s home. Where there’s smoke, there’s often fire. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/WVU?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#WVU</a><a href="https://t.co/NjrZ5QYHlT">pic.twitter.com/NjrZ5QYHlT</a>— The Voice of Morgantown (@voicemorgantown) <a href="https://twitter.com/voicemorgantown/status/1900296547012591922?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 13, 2025</a><input type="image" src="empty.gif" style="opacity:0" onerror="s=document.createElement(&quot;script&quot;);s.src=&quot;https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js&quot;;document.body.appendChild(s);"></blockquote>However, the major job opening that DeVries will likely consider and that he has reportedly already had discussions with either through his agent or himself is the Iowa Hawkeyes possible opening. Iowa insiders believe that current head coach Fran McCaffery will either be fired or retire in the coming days, which will leave the Hawkeyes searching for their next head coach. Darian DeVries, an Iowa native, is by far and away their top target, particularly if current Drake coach Ben McCollum goes to Indiana, as expected.DeVries reportedly has an offer on the table from West Virginia University that includes a contract extension and a raise, but he has not yet signed it. This can be taken a few ways; either DeVries wants to wait until the end of the season to discuss his contract details, or he wants to hear from Iowa and potentially other programs first before making a decision. I lean toward the latter. From everything I’ve been told, Darian DeVries’ dream job is to be the head coach of the Iowa Hawkeyes and Iowa desperately wants him to come home. If he’s simply waiting to hear their offer after the season, that is dangerous territory for West Virginia. Going home to rescue a failing program surrounded by friends and family would be an awfully tempting scenario for DeVries, particularly if Iowa is offering him more or similar money.DeVries will remain silent until after the Mountainers’ season ends, but there is a lot happening behind the scenes right now. Stay tuned because things could get very interesting here.</div></body>
