We have a better chance of signing Dana Carvey than Dana Altman.
It just boggles the mind that people here want Fred Hoiberg, who has won 5 conference games in two years at NU, back at ISU. Especially since it means that ISU would have to pay a flipping $10,250,000 to Nebraska just for the privilege of hiring him.
ISU already has a coach that doesn't emphasize defense or rebounding, and runs a disorganized offense that requires a stellar point guard to make it work. Why do you want that again? It ain't workin'
for Hoiberg at NU either. NU is a significantly worse team than they were two years ago.
$10,250,000 is alot to pay for better inbounds plays. Please let Pollard not be this stupid.

Going cheap never works.
To me it is about the fact that Hoiberg accomplished the rebuild at ISU once already. That doesn't mean he can do it again, but that is something no other candidate can bring to the table. Any of the candidates that have been mentioned could flame out, even Hoiberg. As long as the cost doesn't affect other programs, and that is what is being said, I'm not concerned about the cost.
ISU doesn’t have to pay **** for the buyout. How is this still a thing after we’ve discussed it 1000X?
My friend's dad's brother's source said it was gonna be Hornacek. Book it.
His name came up both times the job opened up in the 2000's. I think his average run at K-State probably hurt his chances.
I really think Minnesota is going to hire Brian Dutcher (San Diego State).
My best guess is that one of TJ, Craig Smith and Niko Medved will be hired.

Whoever it is, half of the people will be pissed, and the rest will be either happy or confused. Hey, let's get our shots so we can tailgate this fall. That's the only thing I'm thinking of. The basketball problem will sort itself out. Eventually.
The interesting question is who everyone would pick if TJ and Hoiberg are the choices.
They don’t belong in the same sentence.
Fred all the way. Apparently we have alot of selective amnesia on this board. The butthurt must still be strong.
Nobody wanted to work for Bruce Vandevelde. He was widely regarded by coaches, media, and donors as something of an ass hat.
The problem with Hoiberg was his initial build was with transfers (both grad and traditional sit-out). At the time we had first choice of the best players, then others schools including the Blue Bloods decided that it would work for them also.
Now we're stuck with the likes of Merrill Holden, Jeff Beverly, and Prentiss Nixon. We all know how those worked out for us.
I will give him kudos for bringing in Georges, Naz, Matt Thomas, and Monte after we were established.

In order to reel in the greats like Georges, Naz, Matt, and Monte, he had to get those early transfers. The likes of Royce White, Chris Babb, Chris Allen, Will Clyburn, Korie Lucious, etc brought in the four year guys as well as further transfers like Kane, Nader, Burton, etc with the hope to build a team that was going somewhere.
Uhh all the transfers you listed were after Fred left. Weird coincidence huh?
