Wait one year and buy him out next year...come out $5,000,000 ahead. Maybe he turns it around and you don't have buy him out at all.

IU is not terrible...their biggest conference losses were 16 and 19 points to top 10 teams, and they did beat Iowa twice. Around half of their losses were single-digit. This was a tough year for established programs.
I hate to agree with you but I do. Shows how patient we are with coaches and saves money in the war chest to keep campbell. Although I don't think he is turning it around..

Fact - TJ is still a sub .500 coach at UNLV.
Fact - ISU can and should do better than TJ as our next coach.

While I don't dispute either point... I still think as far as point number two goes, you could insert ANY coach's name in that sentence. No matter what their prior record was anywhere else.

It's all a roll of the dice. That is my tidbit of wisdom. We're going to hire a coach, for better or worse (can't really be worse) but you get what I'm saying. There is nothing I can do about who we hire.

I have my personal favorite candidate, and it isn't TJ... BUT, no matter who we hire, he's our coach and I want us to win.

TJ had 6 transfers that first year. Elijah Mitrou-Long was the best. Mitrou-Long went down with a severe injury just before the Mountain West Conference Tournament. That injury to their best player proved too much and UNLV lost in the Conference Tournament.
Nice try. No, their best player last year, as this year, was Bryce Hamilton. A player Oztelberger inherited from the previous staff.

We really need some news to mercifully end this thread.

I truly believe we can get to 100 pages by Saturday.

There's still time for 'Fred vs. Steve' and 'TJ's recruiting vs. McDermott's failures' flare ups to fill in any gaps in speculations revolving around what company's name was on the cargo plane.

No, that's not at all what I think.

I think the university should have told the donor that the coach has only had one losing season so far out of four (in the pandemic year nonetheless), so said donor could do much more good spending that $10,000,000 helping out those hurting in said donor's community, because next year, IU can buy out the coach (if it becomes necessary) for 1/3 of that amount.

Indiana is a public university. The AD is probably self-supporting, but it is still part of the university, who has a duty to serve the public. Is the public best served by giving one university employee (who shouldn't need it if he's managed his finances properly) generational wealth in order to fire him, when there are a bunch of people who need help covering their basic living expenses while they wait to get their jobs back?
Your assuming the donor doesn’t just keep it in their bank account which is what likely happens if they don’t do the buyout.
I wouldn’t say Prohm had a better when he was hired than TJ has now, but Prohm has a better resume now than TJ has now.
This is just absolutely moronic. Prohm had a better resume when he was hired than he does now. It didn’t have P5 experience but optimism and potential is better than seeing the turd that is Prohms time here.
