Taking over at West Virginia and Michigan might be slightly different than Iowa State and Nebraska.
Anyone else hearing that JP has already decided Prohm is coming back?

Or they're questioning why they're paying to get the same information that the peasants are getting for free. ;-)
If JP can’t get Dana or Thad Matta, then I want Fred back. Fred deserves to have the job back if he wants it. He’s proven he can win here. Only idiots have disowned Fred after he left for a dream NBA job.
Man the a** burn on here when Fred isn't even top 10 candidate for job will be quite entertaining. Some real delusional folks here.
I wouldn’t be surprised if @JStanz51 already has a rough draft of a story called “How Close Were We to Having The Mayor Back In Town?”
So Matta's last four seasons were very average, finishing 5th, 6th, 7th, then 10th in the league. What's the consensus on why they fell from elite to meh? I'll probably get roasted for even hinting at the idea that Matta could be anything but a slam dunk, but... I'm at least curious to hear some other petspectives.
Yah, we've never had any other coach besides Fred that's done shi*. He's like this golden brick of goodness that nobody can ever match.
They were 87-40 overall those last four years. That would be far from meh for us. (~22-10 avg)
Does anyone remember who the other candidates were for the job along with Fred?
Call me an idiot. It's OK. I just think it's time to consider a model that recognizes what's going on in college basketball today. Fred did that for us several years ago. What's the model for today and the future? If Fred has the insight and the ability to deliver, go for it. Otherwise, move on. It's OK. He'll still be a hero for us. I don't have the answer. I'm not a basketball x's and o's guy, and never played the game.
Has Altman’s name come up anywhere other than CF? Unless he’s hustling to beat the posse out of Oregon, it seems like an odd choice for him.
Fred is only 5ish years removed from Iowa State. It’s not like we are going out and hiring Larry Eustachy here.
Can anyone explain why Altman keeps coming up, and is seen as a viable candidate? Are there ties there? Did he mention ISU in an interview once? Likes the Ames Best Buy?
I just want to circle back once again to this terrible post. I’m actually worried many fans agree with you and this will only hurt Iowa State’s ability to hire quality coaches in the future. Hoping the way Hoifans treated Prohm was a one off, and they don’t do that for the next coach.
I think by reading this thread you can tell that is not the case.
matta, Altman, beilein. People want to talk about a Fred fantasy...pfff
