Might be time to reevaluate
Different animals. Most NBA coaches could probably succeed in college but it isn't a given.
Hopefully the Jayhawk trolls get their pencil dicks caught in their zippers.
In other news, the CBS report about Otz being the replacement is underwhelming. I guess this is a good time for me to move out of state...

Jeff Goodman is on the TJO train.
@GoodmanESPN: When Fred Hoiberg took the job at Iowa State, one of the primary reasons he succeeded was due to assistant T.J. Otzelberger.
@GoodmanESPN: Otzelberger was the one who had recruited Melvin Ejim, also helped land Georges Niang and persuaded Hoiberg to take a bunch of transfers.

I honestly think it's best if the dust settles a bit. There is some movement and I think enough information will be solidified in the next 12 hours to make a lot of people comfortable one way or another. There are a lot of rumors at every level, but ultimately there is so much in motion that I don't feel comfortable posting most of it.
This true?

Iowa State assistant coach T.J. Otzelberger has the "full support" of Cyclones' athletic director Jamie Pollard to succeed Fred Hoiberg as head coach, multiple sources told CBSSports.com on Friday.
Hoiberg is expected to accept the head coaching vacancy with the Chicago Bulls in the next few days, according to other sources.
The Bulls fired Tom Thibodeau on Thursday.
While Pollard fully supports Otzelberger in the event that there is an opening to fill, sources told CBSSports.com that there are other members of Iowa State's administration that need to sign off on the hire before things could become official.
Two other separate sources said that Otzelberger has already been reaching out to people about potentially joining his staff as an assistant.
So in other words I can avoid CF and enjoy my Friday night? Thanks for the info though Jeremy; much appreciated!
Yep, we're screwed. Failure to capitalize on success. That's the history of Iowa State and we're watching it happen again right before our eyes. Hopefully someone opens their eyes and goes after Hornacek.
I'm not against an Otz hire, but one drawback is that he'd probably have to hire a Sadler-type to help with the coaching part instead of a bomb recruiter.
What we need is talent, and I would expect Otz to have less time to spend on recruiting as the HC.

CW said its all but guaranteed Charlie Henry will go with Hoiberg to the NBA so TJ will have two spots to fill. One can be the experienced coach to help with Xs and Os and one can be the "bomb recruiter".
Do u really care about the finances? Are u running the dept? In long run it will be a costly mistake. So long to those $10,000 season ticket holders. It's the fact that If JP has already decided then he should be gone IMO. That's not how u conduct a coaching search. Sure maybe JP has reached out to half a dozen HCs that said no but I highly doubt it and I highly doubt any good mid major coach would pass up coach in next years team along with tripling their salary.
