It’s creepy how invested the fanboys are so interested in protecting his legacy.
It does explain why they go after prohm so hard though.

I don't think that is right. The 2 main counties that make up the Omaha metro, Douglas and Sarpy (not including Lincoln and CB) have a population near 750K.
Include Lancaster (Lincoln) and its just over 1 million.
Polk, Dallas, Jasper, and Warren counties are maybe just 600K.

And also, Lincoln sucks as a city.
I thought he was a bad hire, I was pleasantly surprised by his success, I'm proud of him resurrecting ISU basketball, and I couldn't be happier with our current coach, his recruiting, and his attention to the whole person.
I'm not much for carrying torches for lost loves or past assshats.
No, it had nothing to do with the roster. It had everything to do with how hard the bulls didn’t play. They were absolutely a joke because they gave up and put forth no effort.
There is a reason he was rated the worst coach in the league.
And as far as your last sentence, that would be you towards the current coach. You know, the one that actually appreciates the job and wants to be here.
You can make up whatever narrative you want to try to defend Fred, it still doesn’t make it true.

Based on the what? You can’t just say things without backing it up. They are basically the same as they were last year except the roster was even worse last year.
I don’t have a bias towards Prohm. I don’t want him replaced. I think he is doing a good job. I like the guy but doesn’t mean you can’t be critical of certain things. It’s a message board. And this doesn’t even have anything to do with Prohm. You can like both of them. Well, at least, emotionally stable people can. Some see any support of Fred as a knock on Prohm and vice versa. It seems you fit into this category.
The author says every coach he listed would jump at the chance to coach there. So not sure how that list can be considered delusional.....
You actually wrote that you had no idea what he was good at.
Fred failed miserably in the nba. His players didn’t respect him and they certainly didn’t play hard.
Don’t worry about Cat. He’s a CyBobby type in that he means well, is entertaining, but is a caricature and not to be taken seriously.
Welcome to 2019, my friend.
Pick a side, 100% on that one, 0% on the other, people hate you for daring to suggest 99 or 1, much less something like 60-40 or even 50-50.
Right. I would project that too. Especially when you had such a tough weekend
The biggest downside to this is that Fred has always been a great ambassador for Iowa State, and coaching at another D1 program means, for the first time, he can't be that ambassador. I hope our guys make a big run in this tournament and everyone can finally just get over it.
I know some look at it that way... but a Fred can still be an ambassador for Iowa State and succeed at other programs. His success will always be linked to Ames and if Prohm were to leave in a few year will be an attractive job for other coached to make their name.
I gotta believe (or at least hope) that this past year has went a long way to separate Prohm and Hoiberg for fans. CSP winning the Big 12 tourney with his recruits and starting his own NCAA tourney run. Granted a sweet 16 this year would go farther to making it his program to some people but in my mind he already has ownership.
"Over Hoiberg? Some of our fans will never get over Hoiberg." - Modified Airplane quote.
Man I feel for Prohm. He just matched Hoiberg's list of accomplishments this week, and the story line is still about Fred.
He also has beat a lot of ranked teams on the road. Did Fred ever beat KSU in Manhattan?
When had we gone to 4 NCAA Tournament in a row before CFH? Perhaps CSP may eclipse that mark but that strikes me as new level of consistent success never seen before at Iowa State.
