Prohm got a job!

[Sigmapolis]

I think he’ll ultimately get an assistant job or a HC position at a low major, but if he’s wanting to spend more time with the family this is a fine interim gig.

My two cents before this thread inevitably goes off the rails.

Cue up the "Locomotive Breath" for the musical amid our ranks.

I thought there was a rumor Prohm was offered an assistant job with Florida this offseason.

I know the rabble hates him, but he'd make a lot of sense for a mid-major in the Southeast or for a high-major program looking for a coach to recruit and coach PGs.

Sometimes a guy isn't a great head man but he's an excellent coordinator.

 

[cyclonespiker33]

I don't see him as an after-dark kind of guy

 

[cytor]

Good for him. He might not be a good coach, but I wish him well in this new endeavor. He seems like a good person.

I remember CDub writing that a few months ago, although I don't know if an actual offer was ever made.

Thinking long-term it might be good that CSP didn't take it, if it was in fact offered to him. I fully expect Mike White to be on the "hot seat" next season with Florida's relative underachievement under his tenure.

Prohm got the ISU job because of Fred Hoiberg. Fred believed in him and strongly encouraged Jamie to hire him.

No, Prohm got the ISU job because Jamie Pollard hired him.

 

[NWICY]

Is he still living in Ames?

LOL, the rumor was they built a new house back in Kentucky.

The house in Ames sold, so I don’t think they’re here.

No, Prohm got the ISU job because Jamie Pollard hired him.

And Pollard would not have hired him if Hoiberg hadn't strongly encouraged him to do so.

its ok. jp has hired more busts than successes. he is still the ad

 

[GetAwesome]

Eustachy took Pollard to Tip Top and convinced him of a young up-and-comer by the name of Steve Prohm, and Wayne Morgan cooked Prohm some pancakes so good it convinced him to not leave Ames without a contract signed.

I can’t imagine CFH would have pushed for Prohm over Otzelberger, but who knows?

 

[IceCyIce]

pollard wanted Otz, president wanted CSP. Pres won

 

[LeaningCy]

Good for Steve. I wouldn't work another day in my life if I was him.

 

[cyrocksmypants]

Will he be able to wear dad pants and ASICS in it?

 

[danielyp29]

I can’t imagine CFH would have pushed for Prohm over Otzelberger, but who knows?

There was some article that quoted Fred talking about Prohm calling him up to learn and Fred backing him up for the hire. But that might have been a PR move, too.

 

[heitclone]

Seems like the standard kind of gig for a guy who lost a p6 job. He can do stuff like until he wants another shot at coaching.

 

[CloneGuy8]

And Pollard would not have hired him if Hoiberg hadn't strongly encouraged him to do so.

I think the 'Hoiberg endorsement' was more of a nice gesture on his part after the hire to show support, but behind closed doors I think he was supportive of TJ getting the job.

 

[dirtyninety]

I think I remember seeing in another thread that they settled in the Nashville area?

certainly a state income tax part to that equation. I think that is where the former Mrs. Ben Zobrist also spends her state-income-tax free money. I like Nashville.

 

[dirtyninety]

It would be really weird to host a party with all the guys who method-acted the Joker character. Weird like not good weird.

She seems to be a slutty little Christian.
