Interesting to me that JP doesn't put the rumors down if not true.
Take you concern trolling and shove it up where the sun doesn’t shine.

Right, because it's such a great idea for the AD to run around and play whack-a-mole for every rumor out there. No one does that in these situations.Interesting to me that JP doesn't put the rumors down if not true.
It’s not Otz. Sources close to the situation were monitoring a flight from Oklahoma City to Des Moines. Some have said that might be a sign that the head coach of OKC Thunder’s G League team and Marion, Iowa native Grant Gibbs, could have been en route to Ames.
This seems to be the common theme, that he knows how to win at Iowa State. What proof is there of that?
Did he win under McDermott? Nope
Did he win under Hoiberg? I'm sure most fans think yes, but remember he went to Washington for 2 seasons. Those just happened to be the 2 best Hoiberg years.
His year under Prohm was a sweet 16 season, but 10-8 in conference that year was very underwhelming.
I do hope he's widely successful here and all of us eat crow but right now, this looks like Pollard hiring his buddy because he was forced to pass on him 6 years go.
Unfortunately, history tells us we'll be having these same conversations 5 years from now.
Lol! If they are using flight tracker they are not "close to the situation".
I just heard from my guy that Hornacek is interested. He's on his way to Ames right now.
I do. He had his man for probably the last three months. It’s not like he called him out of the blue. They are friends. The speed helps with keeping current recruits , getting new recruits, getting assistants. There are many reasons it happened quick. Now if you don’t like the hire that’s understandable. However, basketball stuff happens really fast. Look at Patino getting hired less than 24 hours after being fired
Someone asked if Iowa state had made any comment. This is a comment no matter how vague it is.
He doesn't have a record at Iowa State.
How many conference wins would it have taken for Pollard to keep him? 2?
I bet if they would have somehow held on to beat Baylor (after Baylor sat out for like 3 weeks) that Pollard would have spun that as growth for next year.
This thread is headed towards full Ditka mode.
Sorry, I shouldn’t have been so vague. ISU representatives were waiting on a flight from OKC to DSM that had Gibbs on it to land so they could be at the airport waiting to pick him up.
