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.Someone remember to come back to this forum in 3 years and see who has to eat crow. I’m actually pretty excited for this hire. Otz knows how to win here, a good recruiter and loves Iowa state so hopefully won’t be worried about him jumping ship. Pollard probably had this lined up months ago. Gives otz time to work transfer market and retain current players and incoming recruits
This seems to be the common theme, that he knows how to win at Iowa State. What proof is there of that?Someone remember to come back to this forum in 3 years and see who has to eat crow.

Lol! If they are using flight tracker they are not "close to the situation".It’s not Otz. Sources close to the situation were monitoring a flight from Oklahoma City to Des Moines.

Some do. And then they aren't ADs much longer.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.
I still don't understand the speed of hiring TJ. Literally no other school wants him, which seems to include UNLV!
I just heard from my guy that Hornacek is interested. He's on his way to Ames right now.
Someone asked if Iowa state had made any comment. This is a comment no matter how vague it is.What do people expect, no statement will be made until the deal is signed.

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.
He doesn't have a record at Iowa State.He’s 121-118 at Iowa state.
How many conference wins would it have taken for Pollard to keep him? 2?Wait what? Lol Prohm got fired two days ago for going 14-42 the past two years.. he failed so bad these past two years that he got fired for it. Had he been just below average, he’d honestly still be the coach.

If you thought Fred’s family hated living in Ames.....
He loves it.Interesting to me that JP doesn't put the rumors down if not true.![]()
Ehhh I highly doubt it.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.
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.Lol! If they are using flight tracker they are not "close to the situation".
