Outside of the Fred teams he generally owned us. Good news

 

[Dandy]

Huge news.

 

[trevn]

Prohm rumored to OU

 

[NorthCyd]

Seems like a good guy and a good coach. Glad we won't have to face his teams any more.

 

[IcSyU]

Good. I hope like hell they botch their next hire.

 

[jsb]

Oh man. He might be my favorite. That’s a bummer.

 

[Rabbuk]

Tj moves up to 9th best

 

[Acylum]

Heading out to Vegas for some role?

 

[Cyched]

Long and successful career. Gets to go out on his own terms.

Wonder who the top candidates will be

Wow. Did not see this coming at all.

 

[Sigmapolis]

Heading out to Vegas for some role?

Yeah, I think Kevin just found his "special assistant to the head coach."

 

[Cyched]

Son being promoted to HC probably made him want to make the move now.

I'm impressed by TJ's 4D chess moves.. Leaves UNLV knowing they'll give the job to Kevin, which will then cause Lon to leave OU and provide Iowa State a better opportunity to succeed.

Bummer for the fans but I can't imagine any of the other big 12 coaches are saddened, he's one of the best. So does OU jump on the ORU coach? It'll be interesting, OU usually hires well.

 

[cyclones500]

Steady career with plenty of success. Took 2 different schools to Final Four and another to Elite 8.

 

[JP4CY]

Makes sense. Reaves and Manek were seniors.
Women's coach just retired a week ago too.

 

[DeereClone]

I really like Kruger so I will miss playing against his teams, but hopefully this opens the door for OU to get knocked down a peg or two.

Congrats to Lon on the successful career.

4D Chess by TJ to get rid of a Hall of Fame coach in the Big 12.
