What to do with Coach Prohm Poll..

[CyCrazy]

I hear there are a lot of high school coaches who want the job. You all really want to ditch Prohm? He simply just recruited a bit too well, got one and dones and two and dones. They scared off future recruits and then left early.

If you believe this I have some ocean front property in Arizona to sell you.

Sounds like a Prohm recruiting problem to me. One and two and dones are not new to the sport. Prohm has failed to assemble a team that can compete... Repeatedly.... He has had the 3 worst conference loses at hilton ever, and has zero conference wins this year.

I want a coach like Scott Drew. No Idea about his current staff, but maybe he has a solid assistant we can steal.

He has built a great team the last couple years and found some absolute great transfers. Mitchell Teague Flagler and the big guys name I can’t spell from UNLV. Was Prohm in on any of those transfers? Plus he’s a good HS recruiter

So how many years will it take him to figure it out; Tom? Should we just let him ride out his contract and continue to drag the men’s program into the abyss. Or are you satisfied with 12 wins a year at this point?

12 wins??? Good one.

The old "we suck because we've had too many NBA players" argument. Nice one.

this may be the first time this has ever been typed out...because it's absolute garbage. Are you Prohm's neighbor...maybe in his bible study?

 

[Gossamer]

for any of you who are unsure what to do with our current coaching situation, go back to his first year and rewatch the games...he had absolutely NO IDEA what he was doing and he had great players.

It will piss you off more to watch old games and then to snap back to reality where our players are good but aren't put in a position to win.

I'm not on here a ton but this is a parody account. right? No way this guy is being serious, right?

Guy makes over 2.5 million dollars a year to just be a hapless victim of circumstances. Sign me up!

And boy, for all this transcendent recruiting he's done you'd think we would have had a little more success than he's been able to muster.

I wish I could do something so well that I failed at it...and get paid a bunch to do it. FFS.

 

[ChickenNuggetMan]

Surprised no one has mention Greg Marshall. A bit of a stain on his record with abuse charges, but a great coach.

That Hitler guy had a few successful years a while back, maybe we should take a look at him too.

Stalin beat Hitler one-on-one. We should recruit him.

(THE BIGGEST SARCASM PIRATE EVER.)

I mean, we are all looking for more discipline and effort, and nothing encourages discipline and effort more than a few well placed punches to the back of players' heads.

(Kidding, of course)

For 2.5 million a year I would turn my phone off and get booed twice a week no questions asked.

Heck, I'd give you an 80% discount.

Throw in a few “We need to get back to the basics, and that’s on me.”

Here’s the best possible situation, IMO, from Prohm to succeed and begin a new phase of sustained success.

1. Understand this year is moot and run all strategies through a next year mindset.
2. Play the young core of Walker, Dubar, Dudley, Jackson as much as you can. Let Jaden run point.
3. Find some wins in Feb. You likely won’t win in January with the schedule, but for any confidence and momentum, some wins in Feb are a must. Cant lose out.
4. The day after you are bounced from the big 12 tourney, the new year begins. Prohm HAS to keep the young core intact, no transfers. If he sees the roster movement like the last couple of years, it’s over. Continuity and Tenure are formulas that win college basketball, we haven’t had that in 3 years. But has to start with a new core.
5. Conditt needs to show something, anything...that resembles a Junior in this league. Hopefully that success to end this year leads to a big offseason and solid SR year (because this team will need it)
6. Hunter and Hinson stay committed and are as advertised. If so, it brings better balance to the roles, shifts Bolton to his natural 2. Hinson becomes a bigger, better version of JCL.

If those things happen, full summer prep, fans at Hilton, Iowa at home, SEC opponent at home (hopefully) and and easier scheduled non con...then you may have something. Granted that is a lot to ask and no wiggle room, but that’s the reality CSP is in. So I am willing to see how Feb plays out, hopefully it’s the start of something.

Agree with all of this especially the "no wiggle room". I'm legit worried about the no transfers from young guys and keeping them in tact.
