If this continues to play out the way it looks it will be very disappointing.
That said, I am thankful that Fred has done what he has for us as a player and coach, and will still think of him as a class act representation of ISU.

Ahhhh yes.
I guess I always have a huge grin on my face while drinking on a beer on my porch too, since we are throwing random factoids into this thread.
I'm not ready to eat my own just yet.
Fred is an ISU fan, player, coach, and grad. He's one of ours and I wish him the best no matter what direction he takes

The Bulls have always wanted a controllable coach. It's the main reason Floyd got hired there, and why Phil Jackson, Scott Skiles and Thibs aren't with them anymore. When things are bumpy, the Bulls front office will want you doing what they tell you to do.
Is Fred that guy?

I will root for him to lose every game with the Bulls. Not because of him though. I'd root for him at most organizations.
Well, if you know anybody in the AD's office like I do. They would tell you that he has no integrity.
I hope he falls right on his face in the NBA.

Some selections, some of which make me think he's inspired by our board here:
Have to agree with Steve. There's no way Fred leaves his stress-free, laid back job with the #cyclones for the NBA
Pandy Retersons added,
Steve Deace @SteveDeaceShowHow exactly does a guy go from having open-heart surgery to immediately working 100-hour weeks year-around coaching in the NBA?
Hoiberg not retuning phone calls. Most of his blinds are closed but he does not appear to be home right now. #cyclones
As Hoiberg leaves the #cyclones in limbo, there's only one thing for Pollard to do: Fire Fred & move on. My column at http://desmoinesregister.com

"Will be disappointed"? The only way Hoiberg is still here next week, much less next season, is if something totally falls through with the Bulls. In which case we get a lame duck coach and dysfunctional team for a season before he jumps ship next year.
Unless you're still in denial. In which case that's cool. We all process our grief at different speeds.
Just started following both Pandy and Randy. Can't wait to compare and decide which one is more ridiculous.
