Minnesota fans seem to think they can get him to move north.
Jerome Tang not getting good ROI for Hawkins

No no, there has to be a little context here. Prohm basically didn't have a non-con in 2020. If he had he probably could have mustered 6 or 7 wins against tomato cans. If Tang goes winless in conference it counts as going full Prohm IMO.
They were waiting for Tang to join them .
This is a good point. I hope he doesn’t have that nuance and instead just goes 2-30 next year.
Are KSU players tapping their heels hoping to get the **** out of Kansas yet? We can provide a tornado for them.
Tang has a $10M buy out. His team will not make the NIT. They are not strong enough to carry the albatross that is their coach.
They're delusional. Why would anyone want to go play in that dumpster fire of a program? 0-5 in conference play so far and have next to no fan support. Gross.
Ironically, he runs the same 5-out offense that Prohm does. When it's run poorly it amounts to not running any offense, as we have seen in the past.
He also doesn't have a PG for the 2nd year in a row. This is like trying to run the air raid with hokeye quarterbacks.

theres like a half dozen better mid major coaches the gophers could easily have before they resort to weirdo Jerome
LOL. I was actually talking about TJ. They are delusional, of course.
Wait, what? There are Minnesota fans who think TJ, TJ with a national contending squad here currently, TJ who came up coaching at Iowa State and married to a wife who played at Iowa State, is going to leave Iowa State to coach at Minnesota?
In my experience, MN fans are kind of like Texas fans, they think the world revolves around them and they're the best at everything. Talking to my boss right now about it and he just keeps saying "$ talks".
Unbelievably, yes.
They realize a long shot, but it’s on their list of “why not take a chance trying to lure one of these top coaches away?”.
To understand the Gophers fan base you have to realize they think Minnesota should be a destination. Big 10, huge university, big city, great HS talent locally, etc. they can’t understand why it’s not more of a destination for coaches and players than other midwestern locations like Madison, Iowa City, Ames, etc.
Which, in fairness, is a good question. But their program is a dumpster fire and it probably plays third fiddle after football and hockey (whereas a lot of basketball programs it’s second behind only football).
I heard both Prohm and Lickliter have turned down interviews there.
Id ageee with that. Seemed like they had two nba-candidate 7fters anchoring that zone defense for like 10 years.
