Something really fun to think about is that next year we’ll be getting new uniforms. Expect a black uniform to happen.
Anyone else hearing that JP has already decided Prohm is coming back?
- Thread starter Gunnerclone
- Start date
That's fine. He can hire another lead recruiter. It's not like they are knocking it out of the park in Nebraska anyway. Who knows, maybe TJ will give up his gig at UNLV to be Fred's lead assistant thus making him the next hire after Fred leaves.
Yeah I was gonna say.. You know who Fred Hoiberg is really like? Fred Hoiberg, the coach who had us in the top 15 at the end of the year two years in a row before leaving to go coach for the Chicago Bulls lol.
A coaching hire isn't a romantic relationship. Hoiberg didn't "leave us to pick up the pieces". He did his job. He made it clear from the beginning to most around him that he was eventually going to leave for an NBA job if he could. He gave us the best 5 year stretch in ISU history and set us up for continued success. That's realistically all you can ask from any coach.
This does explain a lot about the people who piss on the idea of Hoiberg though. You were so enamored with Hoiberg the first time around that you took it as personally as a girl dumping you, and now you're basing what you think about a coaching hire not on facts but on butthurt emotion.
Who knows if Hoiberg is actually interested in coming back here or if people are just inventing ****. We'll find out pretty quickly over the next few weeks. But these takes, yikes.
I heard he was a pretty decent player in his day as well. Can’t confirm though. Probably played at some diva blue blood school though.

But what if he only wins 12 conference games every year?
What if he makes us successful and leaves?
What if he doesn't love us?
We'd probably better just stick with Steve. At least we know our future with him.
I’d bet 90% of the people who have bad blood for Hoiberg will be more excited than anyone when he gets hired. I think it’s a coping mechanism
It was not all Matt, although he ran with it.
And Jamie dictating the staff of a high major basketball program because his feelings were hurt kind of exemplifies the challenge we have of hiring and retaining successful coaches. Campbell is a different breed. Most have huge egos and don’t want to deal with an AD with an even bigger ego.
I'm not clamoring for Fred and think some fans have a weird relationship with Fred but this is way weirder than even I thought.
Yeah, that was the one that I believe Fred came on KXNO post-Bulls hire to refute.....then Hines did if i remember to basically say "my story is what it is" or whatever.
I used to see him running the hotels looking for people before road games. Always looked stressed and always sweating.
Hines and Randy would be insufferable if Fred came back. That’s the only negative I see in bringing Fred back.
Agree, doesn’t seem to be adding up for CFH to return, if there are these rumored conditions. Unless there is a ton of other, under reported reasons driving him to do it inspite of. Too much going for him not to see how the next couple of years play out at NU.
For me, it’d be my mom and wife only wanting to go to games to see Fred.
Thanks for the link! Ah yes, the infamous double digit sources article. I had forgot that little bit was in there.Here’s a Link.
