Hoiberg Watch 2015: Thursday, May 28 Thread

[mjhavlo76]

Love Barry.

Word is around Chicago outlets is that Golden State Assistant coach Alvin Gentry is picking up more steam than Hoiberg!

Dannynoonan just had me thinking of an interesting idea. Is it at all possible Fred just gave up on Iowa State after the UAB game? Did he think that he just couldn't win with this program? The stress did get to him and he was forced to the hospital after the season (even asked to before the season). Fred may have just said, I've had it. I need something new and I am done with Iowa State. And that's disappointing if true.

To take an NBA job? In Chicago?

PLEASE BABY JESUS!!!!

No media member will ever cite their sources. EVER.

In that case, I have multiple sources saying Diallo stretched Fred's words.

I'm surprised by the number of ISU fans who think others shouldn't be ****** about this. Why the hell should I smile, say thank you, and take it up the ***? Maybe it has been his dream to coach in the NBA all along and that's fine but he called Iowa State his dream job and talked about how amazing the opportunity is for his family to live in Ames surrounded by his family and in laws. He also hinted at wanting to stay here for a very long time and winning championships.

Call it coach speak all you want but if that really wasn't how he felt, he shouldn't have said it publicly. When somebody like Fred says something like that, call me gullible but I tend to believe it because my opinion of him is so high. I won't hate him for life by any means but right now I'm pretty un ******* happy that one of our own, somebody most if not all of us thought was different, seems to be like any other coach. I don't doubt that he loves ISU/Ames but there's no denying how much he's hurt the fan base and program which is even harder to take because of how much he's done and could have done in the future. Have fun with the hypercritical Chicago ******** Fred.

He's a great politician I guess.....who knew!!

 

[CycloneErik]

It's the way it goes everywhere. If this Bulls thing doesn't go well for him, the backlash will be much worse there than anything he ever gets from people in Iowa. He's replacing a coach that most people still like and thing the Bulls are idiots for getting rid of. If he doesn't come in and win big right away, he won't be welcome here for long.

That's a different backlash, though. The backlash in Iowa is for "lying" from people who don't understand how public statements work.

Holy hell, some of need to back away from the computer

Looking on the bright side that in 2016 when we have a new AD, new head football coach, and new head basketball coach that ISU won't get another ******* dime of my money and that we won't win again in anything until 2020, which is just in time for another round of conference realignment and ISU going to the Mountain West.

Thanks tho Fred.

Well given how things are going I submit the following for our new fight song....

Oh we will fight, fight, fight for Iowa State
At least for a little while
We will fight with might for Iowa State
And while we’re here we’ll wear a smile

Blah Blah Blah

Loyal sons for 5 years true
No need to see our contract through
And so we’ll pack our desk, and cash that check
And say so long to I S U

This needs its own thread. Immediately.

That seals it. Everyone blaming Matt A for "losing" Diallo was wrong. I'm officially in the "Fred don't let the door hit you in ***" camp now.

Bush-league right there.

Oh this would be marvelous. Chicago, are you sure you want a coach who couldn't beat UAB?

 

[rholtgraves]

I have sources saying this is all Pollards fault

I'll post this again here.

Adam Zagoria ‏@AdamZagoria 33m33 minutes ago Manhattan, NY Source close to Diallo says they were aware Hoiberg could leave for NBA but he never explicitly said it during recruiting.

So he did not explicitly say that he was going to the NBA... He said that he could not say 100% that he would be back... Semantics

This is brilliant. It made me laugh pretty hard, even in these dark times. Well done.

That doesn't mean anything though.

 

[67CY]

Yup. Especially given the timing...it reeks of a sportswriter sitting on information and releasing it at an opportune time, when "Fred Hoiberg" google searches will likely be at their highest mark ever. Even if the "reports" are speculative at best, there's a lot of temptation for Hines to publish his piece and get those clicks!

Reminds me of Pete, except he never has any new information.

Leader in the clubhouse for most absurd post made during the meltdown.
