T.J. will get talent here. He was doing well in that at UNLV without it being his home turf.
Report: T.J. Otzelberger headed for Iowa State

Agree 100%. Basically anyone--anyone--they hire will be an immediate and significant improvement over Prohm. No identity. No scheme. Teams that flat out quit 15x/year.
Plus these candidate lists are delusional. In what world is Dana Altman or any lateral going to come to the bare cupboard in Ames. This isn't like talking over for Hoiberg. Of the Power 5 jobs that are open, ours has to be the most daunting. Thanks Prohm!
I can’t help but laugh at all the people who are butt hurt at the process which they don’t have any idea about... none of us do. If people honestly think Jamie just decided to let Prohm go, then started a search, called his buddy and hired him without considering anyone else... you are an idiot.
Quit whining about process. It is what losers do. And when you whine about a process you know no facts about, you are an idiot loser.

His recruiting is on par with every other UNLV coach.
What an arrogant and immature comment
Well, assuming this is a done deal, I hope the best for TJ. Please refrain from commemorating his hire (or anyone else if we’ve been punked) by noting that he’ll be better than Prohm. Prohm just led us to 0-19 in conference. Repeat, 0-19, in conference. That is not a “performance” bar that even exists for a coach.
This is ******** anyone who watched Daum as a freshman knew he is already special. All conference, all freshman , 6xth man of year
I mean, as long as TJ’s kid becomes an All-American for us I’m fine with this deal.
That’s not the risk he’s speaking of.
When you hire a coach there’s a risk they’ll fail. When you hire your friend in 24 hours without genuinely pursuing candidates conventionally viewed as better, it should be your job at risk.
JP will be in his 60’s by the time we know. He may not be planning on dealing with the consequences
Would be a lot easier than ISU firing Hoiberg if that didn't go well...
His per 40 minute stats barely budged. Less coaching up, more just increased playing time.
Not for Pollard. Pollard had no real connection to Hoiberg, he's best friends with TJ.
Its what he wanted to do last time.
Its what he probably is doing this time.
He's making a hire that determines the future of the next several years for the program. That makes it worthy of doing a full search and interview process. Never know if someone will excel in their interview.
