Report: T.J. Otzelberger headed for Iowa State

[cycloneworld]

Flight from Wisconsin is Phil Menards.

Great, we'll get an 11% mail-in rebate on our next coaching contract.

 

[jsb]

If we hire someone not named TJ Otzelberger will you give yourself a one month self-ban?

Sure!

 

[DhaCheann]

Would you be a fan of such hire?
Any interest in Gibbs isn’t as an assistant doesn’t seem likely. HC in the G league is close to a NBA assistant job

It would not be for an assistant job, I can confirm that.

Sale on as many coaches as you can fit in this bag!

 

[CoachHines3]

Sure!

JT Otzelweeny confirmed.

Put this guy in the Cyclonefanatic Poster Hall-Of-Fame if we end up hiring Grant Gibbs.

 

[Statefan10]

So you can confirm that he interviewed today? Because if you can, that means TJ being named HC was in fact not true and the search is still ongoing.

 

[CyPunch]

Sooo I've read that TJs buyout is anywhere from 3 to 5 million? Is that true? Kinda seems like a lot to get him

TJ's UNLV buyout is $3.15 million. After July 1st, 2021 that number drops to $1.05 million. I would imagine if it's truly TJ, Jamie is negotiating down that buyout some.

Also, uncharacteristic of Norlander to put out a bad report. No way we paid Prohm's buyout in full.

Come on. 30 year old Grant Gibbs for head coach? Stop giving this guy the time of day.

 

[OKClones]

Four years seems excessive.

4 years! I agree in basketball it in no way should take 4 years. I'm good with TJ but it shouldn't take 4 years, 3 at the most. Now Pollard has done some terrific things for ISU but because the guy before him was awful I think he gets a free pass by most.
Hiring coaches they're have been plenty of misses throughout all sports. 2 really bad in basketball, football and 1 really bad in wrestling.

31*

 

[CascadeClone]

Jamie said that to tamp down the rumors of people like altman or fred that were never coming here.

It's going to be TJ.

That's the Occam's Razor analysis of the situation.

Not the fun analysis (Hoiball! Thad Matta lives! Altman has family in the midwest!) but the rational one...

You’re right, why would an NBA team trust 31* year old Grant Gibbs to be the head coach of their G League team. How foolish of them!

 

[Brandon]

Campbell was very young and football is a lot harder to coach than basketball.

 

[NetflixAndClone]

Come on. 30 year old Grant Gibbs for head coach? Stop giving this guy the time of day.

Not unheard of though, Richard Pitino was head coach of Minnesota at 30 after one year of head coaching experience.

 

[RebelBill]

He better not have a huge buyout in case he can't turn it around. Give him four years to get back into the tourney, if he can't then we move on. I also hope we're not footing the bill to buy him out at UNLV. If we're throwing money around like that we ought to get more of a proven product.

His buyout is $ 3 million.

Why would Prohm accept anything less than what he was owed? He had all the leverage.

 

[CyclonesMoney]

Did you guys receive your stimulus package yet? I did last night and took time off going to south padre island. As a single bachelor, I hope I come back with 8 different types of stds and if I don’t I will be mad as hell.

I'm up for it. Just crazy enough it might work.

$ 3 mil. Will cost $ 4.4 mil to pay UNLV their $ 3 mil due to taxes.
