FRED HOIBERG TO OHIO ST?

[Dandy]

I've been excited about him taking his next college job for a while. Go Fred. Live that dream.

So why does Ohio State have better relationships with AAU programs than Iowa State? The reason they got rid of Matta was his lack of recruiting. And he'd been there for a decade.

Part of the problem is we haven't been able to keep a freaking coach for more than 5 years for the last 27 years. That's a huge problem and it would be nice if we could manage to hang onto Prohm for longer than Fred, but somehow I bet he will be in a better situation in about 2 years too!

Time will tell, Ohio state is just a little bit bigger name than Iowa state, I hate saying that but it's true. Yes we need to hang on to successfull coaches.

Fred Hoiberg: "Anytime your name is associated with great job, it's an honor. But I'm head coach of the Bulls/have no intention of leaving." - KC Johnson on Twitter

I knew Fred was smart.

I'm not giving up on my dream that easily, Fred!

This would leave Ohio State fans disappointed. He turned around our program into a pretty good team, but Ohio State wants more than that. He doesn't emphasize defense enough to build a great team. If he were smart he'd stay in Chicago and head to a smaller school another year. Fred is a nice guy and I like him but I hope he doesn't go because he would crumble under that pressure.

Good lord, he'd probably feel less pressure there than at ISU or Chicago.

I actually agree with this completely. I'm not butthurt he left. He scammed his way into 5 million a year for 5 years with the Bulls. Who wouldn't do that? Who wouldn't also take a few horrible years at Chicago and parlay(scam) it into even more money possibly with OSU? Everyone would I'm guessing. Why not?

Yes, Fred did do great things here, and Prohm has done just as much already basically though. Fred held himself with class, can't argue with that either. And as you said, and I agree, I'm a Prohm guy now, always an ISU guy, and don't particularly care about Fred anymore.

My only point was that I'm not sure anyone who has done so little has ever parlayed that into being one of the highest paid basketball coaches on the planet? Good for Fred, but geeeez.... he doesn't have much on his resume really for the kind of coin he's bringing down.

How did he scam his way into money?

So you would turn down the money he is offered if you were him? Didn't think so.

I don't think you know what "scam" means.

Oh crap! Now Prohm to Omaha. Fred to OSU. And Matta to ISU!!!

How about GMac to OSU, Matta to Creighton, and Hoiberg to ISU?

 

[Cyched]

Oh crap! Now Prohm to Omaha. Fred to OSU. And Matta to ISU!!!

"Prohmaha" has a nice ring to it.

We're ****ed

Just a little? LOL

 

[FinalFourCy]

I have a hard on for Fred because I'm not butthurt he left?

Get over it. It was 2 years ago. He did great things for ISU and always held himself with class. I'm a Prohm guy now and more importantly, I'm an ISU guy.

Good lord sensitive internet today...

Your butthurt is still this bad? Fred really hurt you, but hopefully you can get over it.

If you're identifying yourself as " " guy, you're taking this way too personally.

 

[scyclonekid]

How did he scam his way into money?

Exactly, what?

Ummmm, can you read? Where did I say that Fred should have turned down the money? I'll be waiting.

"Scam" is probably not the best of words I should have used though. Maybe "tricked", or "conned" would have been a lot better now that I think about it.

But it's not a bad thing. If I could scam, trick, or con my way, legally, into 25 million bucks I'd do it in a second. I'm only saying that Fred's resume is in no way worth the kind of money he's made, but that's not his fault. Good for him.

I will stand by the fact that I just don't think Fred liked it here very much, which some on here refuse to believe for some reason?

Nope.

Didn't your coach leave for New Mexico? Haha

 

[cyclonedave25]

I just heard a collective groan from Bulls fans sitting on my couch in Chicago.

 

[FinalFourCy]

"Sorry Bulls, you have to pay to get rid of me"

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

If this did happen it would make sense because half the time analysts talk about us they call us Ohio St.

 

[Shawker]

As an Iowa fan I seriously hope Ohio State hires McDermott. Going from Matta to McDermott...no words.
