List of potential replacements should Fred Hoiberg leave
- Thread starter ChrisMWilliams
- Start date
If you seriously think Chris gets pushed, nudged, told, or otherwise influenced on who or what to post about, I don’t even have a rebuttal for you. I don’t like to call anybody names or insinuate your IQ is less than some sort of suggested guideline for normal human functioning, but I will flat out say you shouldn’t be on this site if you think it serves in any way as a propaganda pusher.
What you and many fail to understand is that just because you think somebody should be interested in Iowa State, doesn’t mean they actually are. You must not have watched Florida get turned down by many of the same names for far more than we’re going to pony up. This is going to be an interesting wakeup call for many on this forum that think our options are bountiful and limitless. We’ve been turned down by far worse candidates than make up Chris’ list before and we likely will again, especially if the offers that are made are as cheap as normal. With a 70% increase in revenue over the past 5 years, we’re still operating as if this was the 90’s but people have expectations of us being a Top 5 destination program.

Yep. No doubt.
Honestly if tj hadn't been shoved down my throat for the last 2 months, I might be more interested in him. But the constant pushing of him and dismissing of every other choice around here makes a person wonder.
And if I have to read one more time about how loyal he is and how much he loves Iowa state..why exactly do we think this? Because he says so, do did hoiberg and it got us 5 years.
Who were the candidates last time around? We're still ISU last I checked. 4 straight NCAA's and a couple B12 Tourney titles doesn't get you a seat at the big boy table.

I don't think we're insinuating that CW is pushing propaganda. More that the AD would leak or release information with the idea of making Otz look like a more acceptable candidate.The people in this thread aren't usually the ones going with that "CW is a propaganda machine" narrative, unless I've missed something. I don't remember that being no1's game (or mine---this is self-serving on my part, too).
Then why the hell would u make a comment like that list is underwhelming....if you don't know? Are u basing it off the schools these coaches are at?
and for the last time JSB it's not going to be TJ. I realize that's who u want but it's not happening. If Matt were still here would u be saying its Matts job to lose?
So...are you saying CW is too stupid to know that he's being spoonfed a load of BS from the AD?
Otzelberger has assurances that he'll be at Iowa State next year...it's just whether it's as head coach or whether it's a stipulation that whoever we hire keeps him on.
TJ knew Fred leaving was possible (if not likely) when he came to 'be an assistant for Fred'. He had to...it was all over the place that Thibs was gone and Fred was a target. If Fred told Diallo he couldn't promise he would be here, what do you think he told TJ?...If TJ thought there was a decent shot of Fred leaving and getting stranded without a job, do you think he would've left Washington?

I'm not intending to say that. If that's the news that he has, what else is there to report?
If I want to make fun of CW, I'm normally much more overt about it. This would be an inadvertent dig, if I made one.
What Fred promised/told TJ doesn't matter, since Fred Hoiberg won't be the one hiring his successor.
