Best recruiting class coming in since he's been there. Not buying it/
Anyone else hearing that JP has already decided Prohm is coming back?

That's not something to get fired over, but it is weird phrase and it seems like it is a weird thing to come up with on the fly.
That's the one aspect of this possibility that has intrigued me. If Fred is truly desperate to leave Nebraska and interested in a return, that puts Pollard in an ideal negotiating spot. And with other options available, he could propose a contract structure that is very favorable to ISU.
I can’t believe a few people still think we are going to actually keep Prohm. The absolute meltdown this season has ended any chance of that. Pollard is neither stupid nor crazy, he knows we need to make a change.
That’s all well and good, but he better not screw it up by trying to play hardball. That is never a good way to start a long term working relationship.
Low salary that is incentive laden and I am completely on board.
This is all an exercise in something that will never happen, but I enjoy people getting worked up.
The salary doesn't matter. The NBA buyout would matter. There's no way Jamie should offer a contract that doesn't have a huge NBA buyout. And I'd try to work in something that if Fred decided suddenly he wanted to retire before the contact was up, he'd owe Iowa State some money too. Hoiberg seems like he isn't a very content person with his life. Iowa State shouldn't pay for that.
Then you don't count. Go sit with the other children.
LOL, long term working relationship with Fred Hoiberg.
I guess I'm to the point that I really don't care who gets hired... can't be worse than what we have now as far as results.
It should be mentioned that (in my mind) Fred would be the "safest" hire JP could make relative to what our general fan base's reaction would be to it. Then the ball would be in Fred's court. IF Fred failed, JP wouldn't be really killed for it. Hire any other candidate.... he'd get roasted if they failed.
ISU is no ones dream job.
5 years in college basketball is a good run. If you don’t believe that, take a look at our history.
Anyway that phrase you picked out was beside the point. You don’t go pursuing a coach because you think you have leverage over him to accept a below market deal. Terrible way to start a partnership, and if that’s the reason then why the hell are you pursuing him to begin with?
