Anyone else hearing that JP has already decided Prohm is coming back?

No to TJ, no to DeVries and absolutely no to Tubby Smith. We can do better.

Like who?

We can do better.

That probably depends on how much money Pollard is willing to spend.

Since we've tended to go cheap, being able to do better is questionable.

I’ve heard Dana Altman is interested. That would be a home run hire for Pollard.

He already helped resurrect ISU basketball once by creating an opening for McDermott to leave for..

 

[Stormin]

Wow. Prohm has certainly underachieved after TJ left. Taking us to the bottom. Good thing we retained TJ as Top Assistant that first year after jilting him for Prohm

Otzelberger becomes Prohm's highest paid assistant coach

Fred Hoiberg's former assistant coach T.J. Otzelberger will be the highest paid assistant coach on new ISU head coach Steve Prohm's staff, according to contracts released by Iowa State.

Why would Altman be interested?

He was interested last time around. Not sure he wants this type of rebuild.

How do we know this? Maybe Otzelberger is mad at Pollard for passing on him in favor of Prohm.

imo this is way overplayed. TJ knows that you rarely make the jump to a power conference HC job without prior HC experience. The whole TJ is mad take is like throwing **** it the wall.

Dana Altman is a good coach.

But, CSP's win percentage is almost identical to Johnny's.

FIFY

The "wants to be here" thing is incredibly tired.
It's a job. Whoever comes in probably does 5 years. That's college coaching, and it's fine.

Thank you! It’s incredibly rare to have a lifer coach at this level. A coach who does a good job for 5 years and leaves the program in a good place is great.

Johnny didn't follow Fred's success as coach. Prohm had a hard act to follow.

 

[CapnCy]

Doug was going to UNI before Greg went to Creighton.

Yep and at the time, it was agreed that had he said "i signed my son" (who at the time was only getting mid-major looks) would have sent ISU fans into a frenzy! LOL

 

[CapnCy]

I will be shocked if it's not Medved

For pure entertainment purposes, i want him at ISU...so the local media can navigate their hurt feelings when he bolted on them.

Assuming prohm is allowed back, who can he get as an assistant to help him coach?

 

[Statefan10]

The head of the church that him and Jamie go to.

You know, that is a good point.....obviously Prohm wants his own staff, but in theory get someone that knows their stuff and could be the go to if Prohm doesn't get to a better place next year...but again, that'd be hard to work out in that way.

I'd hope, if Prohm is retained, he'd come to the conclusion "something has to change" in terms of his staff and practice/prep/gameday stuff

Don’t assume as he isn’t coming back and an announcement will be out soon.
