Why, because he told the truth to a recruit?

I'm sure JP knew this all along too. It's probably why Matt A jumped and TJ was brought back in, Romar's comments, etc....

This. The writing has been on the wall for a while know, and optimism has just blinded some of us. Fred couldn't come out and say publicly "I'm going to the NBA" when the job he was essentially promised had yet to be open. There was obviously a very, very small chance all along that this job wouldn't open, so knowing that, Fred couldn't guarantee anything or make a statement to that effect.
 
No but after his surgery he DID tell his current players who have ALREADY committed to him and his university that he would be back and be their coach next year. So is it better that he was honest to strangers who have not made a commitment to him already?

Link?
 
So hypothetically, let's say he tries and fails in 3 years. (I don't think he will but w/e). Do we try to hire him back?

No because he was NOT committed to the job or doing the current job he is paid to do. He should have resigned at the end of the season. Period.
 
If he would've lied to CD, CD would've changed his commitment anyways.

Question: What is the fred tracking website address again?
 
Some of you actually think he should have lied to a recruit? My guess is ISU/JP have known he was leaving as well, so not like he just left us hanging.

It's not what he said or didn't say to a recruit, it's that he was in that position at all. You can't do that to a program. The work put in on Diallo thrown away because the coach wasn't really the coach. I'm moderate but that's not good.
 
JP usually is pretty honest about things...meaning, whatever press conference is had, he'll be honest...now, he won't likely be ****** like he was at CHIZZ as I'm sure CFH has kept him in the loop and they've been in communication and both will be respectful.

I'll be interested to see how Fred exits.
 
If Hoiberg leaves I will have lost a great deal of admiration and respect both for he and Pollard. How can "being a head coach in the NBA since Day 1" have been Hoiberg's goal when at the exact same moment in time coaching at Iowa State was his "dream job"? Would he and Pollard just plain bold face lie to us?:

Hoiberg said about his newly appointed position. It is my dream job and I have been passionate about Cyclone athletics ever since I can remember. Having a chance to come back here after being a ball boy and playing in front of these passionate and great fans, and now having a chance to coach in front of them, is a dream come true.”

Pollard has also changed his wording and public statements about Hoiberg and the NBA. He originally said "if the NBA was something Hoiberg wanted, then he'd have to make that decision" to "He told me from Day 1 he was NBA bound". Subtle differences in wording but HUGE in the meaning.
 
Fred was employed by ISU and has a fiduciary duty to do what is in the best interest of ISU. It is very clear now that is not what has been happening.

Enjoy failing in Chitown I'll be laughing the whole time.

Its pretty obvious that JP and co. has known Fred is leaving as long as the Bulls job opened up.
