I thought that Finalfourcy was swarthmore. Haven't seen their condescending posts for a long while.
Anyone else hearing that JP has already decided Prohm is coming back?

Can you imagine the open q&a session at the summer tailgate tour if Prohm is back?
Walter may have to put a caveat of no bball questions
Agree. By paying an astronomical buyout for Prohm and to Nebraska sends the message you have money available to throw around mindlessly. The Donor is paying so it really is not our money is a ridiculous argument. Donors fund our improvements and are instrumental in times like these when you are faced with paying up for successful Coaches like Campbell and his Assistants. While at the same time funding unsuccessful coaches termination and replacement. The image of recklessly throwing around money is not something JP will embrace.
When you “dumb” every other post, I suspect I’m with others in that I don’t even read his posts.
They do. it Is not Monopoly Money. And it is not an unlimited pot of money. Responsible use of Donor Money leads to more Donors, Reckless spending makes Donors reconsider. Sincerely doubt JP is focusing on bringing back Fred.
This is so true. Good coaches motivate guys to play there best. Just not happening. Some kids want to be motivated, some dont. Good coaches can pick that out when recruiting.
it is about having a terrible coach now...and people wanting a good one...people will love the next guy if he wins, and won’t like him if he loses...that’s it...people liked Larry, Johnny, and Floyd...they do not like Greg, Wayne and Prohm
that’s all this is
I like Wayne. He took us to some tournies and had fun teams to watch.
I'm already confused on how people don't understand some of the top donor mindsets. It is their money and they get to decide how it is going to be used....this isn't charity to them they are paying for who they like and want here. It takes one call and as simple as saying I'll give you guys $x to help get so and so here if not them I'm out and so is my money.
Absolutley. The question is if the donors want CFH specifically and willing to pay what it takes for Fred and possibly only Fred or if they are giving an amout for any coach/general fund leaving the decision up to Pollard. Jamie will make the final deciision but those helping pay will limit his options to some extent.
If Fred does indeed want to come back, and there's a way to make the financials work, I'm not sure we're in a position to say no.
I just don't want Fred to be the entire search.
Skeptical of Gunner’s claims. Not that it is impossible. But it is highly improbable IMO. More of a Gunner pipe dream.
I'd love it if that's the case. I also don't think it's true that there's no extra narrative beyond "good coach" with Fred and Iowa State given his playing career and being from Ames. If I'm wrong and there isn't constant comparison between Nebraska and Iowa State if the next coach isn't Fred I'll be happy to eat crow.
I mean, if JP does his diligence and finds Altman or Matta is interested, I'd take them over Fred.
If you have an interested Fred and a bunch of unproven mid major coaches, you take Fred.
Craig Smith is a proven Winner. At multiple stops. Much rather have him than Fred.
Smith is my choice of the younger up-and-comers.
