This is why Prohm must go........

Was clear to anyone that knows anything about basketball he was over his head about half the way through year 1.
This is an imperfect analogy -- but this is starting to feel like the Rhoads era.
Rhoads came in with some talent on the shelf leftover from Chizik's recruiting. Rhoads never had the kind of talent that Prohm did in the relative sense (nor did he have nearly the same level of expectations), but they did well with what was left when they came into their respective programs and built up a lot of goodwill.
Rhoads then rebuilt the roster in his image, and he had a few good years. He never "broke through" to something truly memorable or transcendent, though (such as what Campbell has done with the program the last three years), and we felt there were some years of missed opportunities. Rhoads oftentimes had defenses that could be very competitive but the team just looked lost on offense. Then the bottom on defense dropped out.
And then it fell apart. Hard.
Rhoads built up goodwill with somebody else's talent and gave us some great memories, but he was unable to create a sustainable and respectable winner on his own.
Prohm did well with the returning talent. He then rebuilt the program in his image and had some modest success. And now, after that... well. Yikes.
That had a K-State feel about it.
I remember posting early in this thread outlining that I could understand how people could be frustrated with Prohm and his coaching style. I then got attacked by Prohm's White Knight / Attack Dog @CatStevens who said I was just part of the 'Crewe' who hated Steve.
At that point I wasn't, but the Iowa game and this game have convinced me. I've seen all I need to see, Prohm has to go. At this point I can not fathom how this season can be redeemed.

More of a NDSU '14 feel or was that the Iowa game, or the TCU game in Hilton last season?
I said the Iowa loss was equivalent to CPR's Kansas St. loss except Prohm will be here awhile due to his contract. I still believe that.
A billion times over. But I cant lie, its dignifying after all the personal attacks
The fact these complete trash teams can walk out of Hilton with a win is a joke. Fire this loser.
We lost a game we should never lose, it sucks. Other than that it has no effect on me. I'll continue to go to games and buy season tickets.
Sorry it took me so long to reply I was actually at the game.

Iowa State men's basketball head coaches should be able to be fired for cause after an accumulation of home losses as inexcusable as those accumulated over the past three years. And there is more honest opinion than jest in that statement.
Lol, I didn't even know they lost until now. I'm not bursting, I'm amused that thousands of other people are now starting to see what a few of us have seen for years now.
So I normally wouldn’t post this but I just saw prohm at the gas station looking about as pissed as humanly possible. I didn’t say a word but I was wearing an isu sweatshirt and he looked at me a few times almost waiting for some interaction. I thought about saying something encouraging but what can you say after a loss like that.

Well, at least Prohm doesn’t have to worry about his home record against P5 teams getting any worse...
Are you trying to say he was out of gas?
