What to do with Coach Prohm Poll..

[ClonesTwenty1]

Just a simple poll of where us fanatics are at right now. If Steve were to be fired now or at the end of the season, I don’t think we would have a ton of money to spend on a high end coach because of the buyout. But would it be worth it? Lots of season left obviously, but I’m curious of what people are thinking. Even the lurkers. So please vote!

Needs more options.

He's not getting fired immediately.

Unless we lose every single remaining game (unlikely), he's not getting fired at season's end.

He has through next season, at least.

But I wouldn't say that he will make it through the remainder of his contract...

I know we can't afford it, but has someone worked out how much the buyout is?

Some said in the neighborhood of 2 million a year for a few years. Technically we could afford it, but we wouldn’t be paying the new head coach much.

 

[sigh]

Keep him and lets ride this contract out. Give $$$ to CMC and his staff. If CMC bolts, then we have a “fire sale” on our hands

 

[Cyclones423]

Compel Prohm to resign on his own. It's what a good guy would do after all.

 

[dahliaclone]

None of the three. I think the BEST option is for him to move on to another job on his own after this season. Wasn't out of the realm of possibility last year until COVID struck. But maybe less likely this year now because he's gonna likely have one god awful record so finding a taker might be rough.

My gut says bring in someone who can coach now ... but reality says that we will wait and see if we can win a Big 12 game.

Beg Prohm to move back to Kentucky.

If we can’t be kstate who just lost to a winless d2 team can we beat anyone in big 12?

I would agree that he has next year anyway but assume he wins the two more non conference games and goes 0-18 in conference. I just don’t see any argument he should keep his job. Who is going to buy tickets next year with that? There’s a point when Prohm is really going to force Pollards hand. I mean he has to at least give him some cover.

keep him until the end of the year to tank for Trevor

This is where I'm at. I even think if we go something like 3-15 which seems laughable (how sad is that) at what point does the conversation shift to 'can we even do it' to 'can we afford NOT to do it'

Barring Prohm leaving on his own accord, he will at least be here next year. Idk if people just dont know his buyout isn’t payable or they’re in denial but If you can’t take the state of the program right now just don’t watch basketball for the next year and ffs stay off the message boards. Crying about it like a bunch of spoiled children isn’t going to make his buyout any smaller.

Dang, thought we were tanking for Cade.

We lost 30 million dollars in revenue, need to give CMC and his staff a raise. No we can afford the buyout. Until you fire him and get a young coach who wants to make mark in the P5 and pay him 500k a year and make his contract heavily incentive based

 

[Hoggins]

So I get that we’re broke and will have a $30 million loan, but what’s another couple million on that loan? Make it a $33-37 million loan and fire his ass.

 

[CloneGuy8]

I think it just depends on if donors are willing to step up and pay the buyout. If that's the case, you do it at the end of the year.
