Count me as somebody that doesn’t want Fred back. Enjoyed the heck out of his time here but renewing the vows just doesn’t feel the same as the first time.
Anyone else hearing that JP has already decided Prohm is coming back?
- Thread starter Gunnerclone
- Start date
What is CMC’s salary? I don’t think the MBB team’s coach should approach exceeding that.Successful coaches who would be worth contacting if ISU was will to pay $4-$5M annually:
Mark Turgeon - Maryland
Greg Gard - Wisconsin
Bobby Hurley - ASU
Thad Boyle - Colorado
Dana Altman - Oregon
Mike Young - Va Tech
Dan Hurley - UConn
Buzz Williams - A&M
Mike White - FL
Kelvin Sampson - Hou
Penny Hardaway - Mem
Willard - Seton Hall
Steele - Xavier
There might be a couple of the above who may listen for $4-5M a year. Maybe just to get more money or extension out of their current school.
In the end, I expect ISU next coach to be a mid-major head coach or P5 assistant.
My point was that when he was done with the Bulls, he wanted the ISU job, not the Nebraska job. He was not looking at Nebraska as the place he really wanted to coach, it’s the one that ended up making the most sense in the end for him.
Had Steve left for Alabama, things would be different.
Where the hell you getting $4-5 million?Successful coaches who would be worth contacting if ISU was will to pay $4-$5M annually:

Also, JP does not go after Power 5 head coaches. He's strictly mid major or assistant power 5 coach, with the 1 exception being Fred.
I agree. However, considering the names that have been put forth by the masses here... I'd prefer him over the other names.
That is where I'm at now...
I will get a tattoo of her if this becomes true.
And perhaps this is what Fred sees for potential.
3 weeks from now might be an interesting time on CF.
Because Fred loves Ames, Iowa State, and wanted to come back before but it didn’t work out. We’re 3 years removed now and he’s not in a great situation with Nebraska, and we’re about to fire our coach.
There is no better time than now to jump ship from Nebraska because of our next HC is successful, he’s screwed. If Fred continues losing at Nebraska, it’d be tough to bring him back.
People have some serious seperation anxiety from Fred STILL!
We’re about to lose our head coach and the guy who rebuilt our program and gave us life could be an option. This is entirely different than people arguing 3 years ago whether Prohm was better than Hoiberg.
There are people who have posted that certain donors are willing to pay Fred's $10M buyout. They have stated that money is only available from the donor if ISU hires Fred.
I realize these donors might have a relationship with Fred, but they are intelligent people. Why pay Nebraska $10M? Why not use the money instead to pay the new head coach a very competitive salary in the $4-5M range.
As I have previously posted, ISU hiring Fred and paying the huge buyout is JUST message board chatter. I agree, ISU will end up hiring a mid-major head coach or P5 assistant.
Slow down Gunner, haven't you read the posts on here? A school that has 2 conference championships and one Elite 8 in the modern era (70 years) is on the same level as the rest of the blue bloods. Every coach, present or former wants a shot in Ames.
Money is no object, ISU won the Fiesta bowl.
I agree. Then we can agree that Fred Hoiberg isn't coming back. He is getting paid around $4M annually at Nebraska. So if Fred comes back, then Jamie is going to have to give CMC another raise!!
My point is why pay Nebraska a $10M buyout- it can be used on a name head coach or any number of facility improvement projects in the AD.
Again- IMO ISU will hire a mid-major HC or P5 assistant making $2-3M.
Duke and UNC have been having a rough year, think we could poach Roy Williams or Coach K?
Fred could make 4 million next year bc CMC will get a raise again most likely. Especially if we make the Big 12 title or even win it next year. Also, again, we wouldn’t be paying the 10 million buyout, or at least not most of it.
