In my opinion it made more sense then than it does now.
Anyone else hearing that JP has already decided Prohm is coming back?

Here's my TJ spiel that no one cares to hear, but I'll say it anyway... I'd love to have TJ if he is committed to bringing in a coaching staff that can help him in areas that he believes he is not successful in. That would be the X's and O's.
I think TJ can recruit well enough to be successful in Ames, and I think he'd be well loved here too, I just am reluctant to say I'm confident he can coach at this level. We've seen where a good recruiter but poor coach can get us and that's not going to fly.
At the end of the day, we'll just have to wait and see. Whoever it is, we should welcome him with open arms because they're going to need a ton of support with how the program currently is.

I guess reading page after page and reading here’s what I’m hearing” from different posters and different end games I guess I will believe the one who posts a secret phone tap conversation from JP’s cell phone
Could be but he's not on the short list from what I"m told from MN fans up here
Maybe. I don’t even know. Part of me thinks we should stop being so in the family.
I told someone today that NONE of the choices excite me. Altman should excite me but he’s so old. Craig Smith should excite me but he’s so generic. TJ should excite me because he might actually want to be here. But they are all blah. I’m sure I’ll get excited once the new guy is named.
you mean the ****** nebraska coach who beat you and caused you to fire your coach isn’t at the top of their list?
maybe they want TJ?
ISU fan got jaded with Fred. Just look at our coaching tree since Johnny (who was hired in a totally different era). We’re a program that coaches come to to make a name for themselves. Our over-inflated opinion of ourselves is all because of hitting a home run with Fred.
As someone who lives a mile from the CHI Health Center, I hate to say that I agree. There's nothing that feels mid-major about Creighton basketball anymore, especially when they're consistently beating (and even blowing out) Villanova.
have they officially fired him?
since TJ is so desirable, we might want to hurry up before they snatch him
in all seriousness, if Craig Smith was in play, he’s probably not now.
probably not. But much like there is a rumor that Altman may move there’s a rumor Smith may as well in spite of the new deal. He’d pick Minnesota over us.
Isn't his buyout a little over $1 million? He'd be foolish to not listen to Minnesota.
I would rate Minnesota as maybe a little more appealing at the moment as I think there are a few short term bonuses over ISU... somewhat better in-state recruits, shorter rebuild potential, a more fractured conference to potentially make inroads with.
With that said, I would anticipate we'll have a bit different guys we're looking at with not as much crossover as one might think.

Is it a big buyout? For some reason I thought it was like $750,000 but I could be flat out wrong.
