Anyone else hearing that JP has already decided Prohm is coming back?

By Johnny Orr tradition, I meant taking someone really good out of the B10, who has shown an ability to win at that level. In that vein, Thad Matta and John Beilein would great hires.

Gosh darnit the list just keeps getting smaller. Open up the checkbook for Fred!

Doesn't he have four kids who all still live in the midwest? He's from Nebraska originally so maybe he just wants to be closer to family. Not sure what is kids status are but he has to be close to being a grandparent.

He’s from Nebraska, and I can certainly understand moving back to be closer to family. He never had a bad year at Creighton, but even before the failed jump to Arkansas, there was a feeling that things had gotten stale. Maybe he wants to come back to a multi-bid league?

I don’t know if 2017 thing is heating up again (https://collegebasketball.nbcsports...hould-have-been-fired-over-oregons-rape-case/), but I can see that giving any AD pause, particularly ours. He’s a heck of a coach, though.

Sorry guys, Altman is a great coach, but his is very happy at Oregon and wouldn't leave for a truckload of cash. I can tell you Oregon doesn't have any concerns that he isn't long-term committed. Five years left on contract, loves Oregon, paid well (800K more than Prohm with similar bonus opportunities) has shown he can recruit 5 stars to Orgeon...list goes on

Altman's people reached out to us within the last two weeks to say he would be interested. Yes I think it's just for more money from Oregon but that smoke is legit
