List of potential replacements should Fred Hoiberg leave

[HitItHard58]

I don't know why people are acting like Pollard isn't going to talk to mutiple people. Of course he's going to contact Hornacek, among others.

You can't really talk about jobs that aren't open yet. There's rules.

For every rule, there's a way around it...not saying he's already picked...but I think to say there hasn't been significant planning including some sort of communication is being naive.

How about Mick Cronin at Cincinnati? 5 straight NCAA tournament appearances and the Big 12 would be a big step up from the American Conference.

His salary is $2.8 million/year. That's more than Fred was making here. Combine that with the fact that Mick was born in Cincy and the University of Cincy is his Alma mater and it would be very tough to pull him away.

How about Mark Turgeon, another KU guy. Is Adonis Jordan or Rex Walters busy?

lol heard that one before.

The part that concerns me about Hornacek talking is that no one typically knows the result of a Pollard coaching search until its announced. This may be different though.

We said this once about a coach, too....

I think this search (and I use that term loosely) was wrapped up a while ago.

Funny thing is as I was typing that up, I was going to say Mick at Cincy is like the Fred Hoiberg of ISU....

I say Hornacek, Zaid Abdul-Aziz, Hank Whitney, and then we start robbing graves.

I love the fact that Hornacek hasn't said "hell no", which to me means he is saying "yes"

Finally some logic around here!

Do you recall Jamie Pollards excursion a couple of weeks ago when he was spotted at the Des Moines airport and Travis Hines reported it? He was spotted at the airport at 10:30 pm that evening. There were two flights that arrived at DSM during that time. One was the Atlanta flight, the one that the divorce attorney from West Des Moines tweeted stating that he went to Atlanta to speak with a college coaching search firm. The other flight came from...Phoenix. You think perhaps JP went to Phoenix instead of Atlanta and might have already contacted Hornacek?

Gonna take a nice deal to draw him to Ames given his reservations about recruiting.. But I know he thinks he should have been given extension already by the Suns, and security is not a bad thing.

Minneapolis was another one, so 3 total. But it doesn't make a difference since Pollard did go to Atlanta.

The Big 12 league meetings were in Phoenix a couple weeks ago. I saw him and his wife on the flight.

Those comments from Jeff seem ironically familiar.

Certainly hope he did.
