Official Announcement of TJ as the New Iowa State Mens BBall Coach

[DurangoCy]

No going to make a prediction, but hope TJ can right the ship.
The winters/spring is so much more fun when the Cyclones have a good BB team.

Go Clones!

I clicked on the link expecting to get Rick Rolled, unfortunately the link was real.

One word describes this - LAZY!!!!

Just finished watching the video....

That was... like kinda... weird? Idk how to describe the vibe

He answered every question asked on this board in the last 48 hours.

Some Iowa State “fans” make me hate being an Iowa State fan these days. Embarrassing that we are now exactly like who we hate. Not a TJ fanboy or anti-TJ but God damn if I’d want anything other than him to be successful. Go Cyclones!

Sorry for having expectations. Sorry for using facts and data. Sorry for being offended by an absurdly lazy and nepotistic hiring process where we hired a guy that NOBODY ELSE is even after.

 

[baagoe]

Really interested/curious to find out who will be on his staff. Anyone know what the timeline usually looks like for that kind of stuff?

 

[LLCoolCY]

Welcome back TJ. Time to revive the Magic in Hilton!

 

[jcisuclones]

Count me in. TJ was my #1 choice when we hired Prohm and he still is my #1 choice. Time to get to work!!!!

He was my #1 in 2015, but I wouldn't put him at the top of my list this time around. I'll rally around him though, and excited about the future. Definitely more Xs and Os competent than our last coach!

Oh really? Which other schools were even looking at TJ?

 

[CyCloned]

I'd encourage actually watching this video. Its got kind of a weird vibe

I am glad that they got it done. If JP and the president are in agreement, that is a good start. Let's face it, we were not in the position to hire a top D-1 guy. TJ did a great job in SD, and didn't set the world on fire at UNLV. This last year he had 9 new players, most of those freshman, so a little challenging at best.

I thought Jamie went into great detail on what happened in the hiring process. Something you usually do not see.

You’ve now tried to cover up mental breaks in two different coaching changes as “lol jhf”

What?

I've said all along that I am not happy with the choice, but I'm a basketball fan first.

how many days in a row will you talk about "true fans" and other 1950 ********? jesus christ man.

I like in the video he singled out Utah State as a team Otz beat this year. Too bad they are going dancing and UNLV was average at best over the whole season.

Got to sell what you can!

Feels very much like it was recorded 3 days ago and he celebrated saint Patrick's day the last 2 days.

 

[Bestaluckcy]

Best of luck TJ. Really excited to be watching your team play in Hilton.

That's because he is a **** and knows Craig Smith is the best realistic candidate for the ISU job. Hope I am proven wrong.

Right or wrong imo TJ has 2 years to get the team competing for the top half of the league.

 

[IcSyU]

I don't love it. I don't hate it. The biggest thing to me is who he fills his staff out with. We need new blood all the way around in that respect.

Get quality kids on campus.
Coach 'em up.

We've been fairly solid with #1. We've had some bad misses however. #2 has been a disaster for the most part.

 

[carvers4math]

I wonder who the "we" mentioned throughout these videos is.

FOTJ?

Prohm got 6 to destroy it. TJ will get more than two to fix it.
