List of potential replacements should Fred Hoiberg leave

[Incyte]

If the most we can give a coach is 2.6 million, then that's a problem. No way we'll be able to keep any coach that's successful here with that kind of budget.

Bull crap. That's more than many NBA coaches get paid. We have the resources to be successful but it's up to JP to find the right guy.

They have a wealthy donor, Koch. Not a good comparison by any stretch.

We have Big 12 revenue coming in that should allow for a great coach in basketball

There are 65 P5 teams and most make more than us in revenue. Of the "great" coaches out there, how many consider themselves underpaid and are willing to leave?

If your Pollard and Leath, you have to put the full-court press on Hornacek as Head Coach!! If he accepts, make a stipulation in the contract that T.J. stays.. Would 3 million a season be enough to lure Hornacek do you think? Hornball will make us forget about Hoiball!

I was thinking the same. Even if it was another head college coach, you would want him to keep TJ. But now that this has blown up on social media about him having the AD's support and searching for staff to join him, wouldn't it be more than likely he'll leave if he doesn't get the head job now?? Gosh, what a mess.

Maybe Otz came back to go with Fred to the Bulls.

Uh......no.

Closing this thread as the exact same conversation is occurring in the daily open thread.

Thought I would bump this for fun. Not a lot of Steve Prohm fans at the time. :smile:

One well orchestrated press conference later....

 

[CyArob]

Good thing President Leath destroyed the conspiracy.

Huh, didn't realize this was your first rodeo. Yeah, that's sort of how it works. Same thing happened with Fred. Same thing happened with Fran out east. Same thing happens for lots of coaches. I hope you weren't expecting anything different.

Oh no, I wasn't. I've seen Old Yeller about 50 times, never makes the ending any less sad.

Just the way the process goes. If ISU was the only ones it applied to then the phrase "Winning the Press Conference" wouldn't exist.

Yesterday on KGYM, Todd Brommelkamp played a little "game" where he had 8 glowing quotes about coaches when they were hired, and his co-host and producer had to guess whether they were about Alford, Lickliter, McCaffrey, Hoiberg or Prohm. All 8 of them were about how great the hire was and how successful the coach would be at the new school.

Then he read the 8 and the other 2 picked coaches, and in the end Todd said they were all stated about Todd Lickliter.

It was hilarious, and sad. It's definitely the case that the media never says "that's a horrible hire". Just like no one ever says "that was a horrible press conference" after a coach is hired. There is definitely a honeymoon period.

Any estimate on when someone could come back and have a conversation with a dissenting viewpoint and not have a 19999-1 disadvantage? :smile:

depends on how wrong you turn out to be. There's always the possibility of failure in any undertaking. Accepting that risk and moving on can be tough for some people, especially when things didn't work out the way they hoped. Some come around. Some don't. Some choose to wallow, waiting to pounce on every perceived misstep to justify their feelings. The question is, how long are they prepared to keep wearing their little frowny face over the situation? When will they be ready to move on?

I don't think I'll ever get over Macho Grande.

Nice pull! Buddy was a rock!
