Prohm to Alabama?

[clones8232]

Prohm will probably coach both va tech and Alabama (at the same time) and Fred returns to Ames (under tj) to coach out of bounds plays

This thread is terrible

Welp...

So is this happening tomorrow or does he get to finish the season at ISU. The whole speculation thing sucks no matter when it happens. It is just not fair to his current players to do it at this point in the season. These are 19-22 year old kids that are here partly because of the coach.

Really dont think that's going to happen. Believe that he got a Bama offer and picked us instead

You’re a true voice of experience on this topic

If Alabama does fire Johnson and that’s a big IF, who could they turn to? The logical choice could be Iowa State head coach Steve Prohm, who is an Alabama grad.

Prohm’s team just took down Kansas in the Big 12 Tournament and may face Auburn in the Midwest Region if both teams win their opening-round game in the NCAA Tournament. A few Tide fans are already predicting this will take place soon.

Y'all are talking about Hoiberg while this is being discussed.

Seems like a ban for the duration of the NCAA tournament would be in order!

He’s at different point of his career now.

But it’s comedy to read all these responses worried about him possibly going somewhere from people that as late as last Wednesday were eviscerating him on this very board.

I have been 100% accurate on every coaching rumor.

So you've gotten one thing right? Impressive.

Maybe you're talking about something else, but Avery Johnson was hired in early April.

Prohm and Johnson were both hired to their respective jobs for the 15-16 season, and I remember Prohm having an Alabama offer before Johnson was hired there. Fan support is what lead us to get him over them, IIRC

That makes 0 sense because prohm wasn’t hired until june.

Johnson was hired April 6th and Prohm was hired June 8th.

Why would Prohm leave a program coming off a final four appearance. Makes literally 0 sense.

If I recall correctly, it was alluded to in one of his interviews with Gottleib that Bama passed on Prohm.

Probably will be hard for him to match a national championship season. Might want to escape that pressure to Alabama.

Sweet Prohm Alabama.

Welp...

 

[sadam]

I have it on pretty good authority that CSP is staying here. Just like I told you all CMC is here for the long haul.

JP is that you?

 

[BWRhasnoAC]

I will be legitimately hurt if Prohm leaves.

This is a tough spot, but I think there are a few things working in our favor. The first is that ISU is going to return a great team (even if THT goes pro), Prohm has a significant buyout that I doubt Alabama will cover it. Prohm is due for a raise after this season from Pollard as well. If I had to put a number on it, I would say I’m 90% sure he stays put. Every tourney game he wins also helps our odds as well because it prolongs the time frame for Alabama’s coaching search as I don’t see our coach leaving mid-tourney.
