I get your point, but which coach is going to hire him as an assistant knowing full well he is going to have his job soon?
Also, the head coaches hire their own assistants, not the school.
Pollard, this is our new coach!!!!

When did postseason tournaments become problems?

I also wanted to see LE put on 6 months to a year leave of absence to get his act together. Maybe the drinkng was part of it but the last two season weren't very good with a losing season and first round NIT loss. I'm amazed when people dismiss what Morgan did taking over a down program that was nationally the butte of jokes. Sure Morgan was picked by default, we couldn't get anybody else to take the job. Then look what he did with all winning seasons, 4 post season wins, and 4 wins over top 8 teams, and yes Stinson, Blaylock, Staple and Clark were his recruits and not LE's. The first 3 said they wouldn't come to ISU if Morgan wasn't named the coach. I'd include Morgan in any discussion about our next coach but with JP here I'm sure that never happens, or if Morgan would even consider it at his age.
I recall recruiting to be a problem under Larry. He had no one coming in after his two good years. I also recall three of our best players walking away our never showing. Harper, haluska and Power.
I would love to get Bill Lambier as the next ISU coach if ISU decides to ever make a coaching change. He is an assitant with the Twolves now but before that he coached a womens pro team that has won 3 titles under him. He wants to be a head coach in the NBA but they wont give him a shot for what ever reason. Charles Barkley even spoke out for him saying he deserves a shot.

You gotta believe that he would be able to bring in some nice guards to ISU. It would be cool to have JH as our coach. Can we get him right now?
Stinson, Blalock, Staple, Vroman, Homan were all recruited under Larry. They REALLY sucked.
A lot of wishing. We need to give McD. more time. I know I will be sacrificed for saying it but it is true. Too many times coaches don't get enough time to prove what they are. Sometimes it takes more then 4 years. We as Cyclones should now that. IMO Coach McD. is a good hire and knows what he is doing. Yes at times we wonder WTF but we are sitting on our ***** watching it on TV. How many of us could do any better out there?
No, his coaching style and philosophy have GOT TO GO. He will never win at ISU. He is not B12 caliber. This season has been horrible. Lack of discipline/teamwork/offensive and defensive scheme has been shaky/another player has "mysteriously" left and he had NO IDEA?.....no, no, no.....I am done with this guy as ISU's coach. He is killing my alma mater's basketball program. (We still put 13k+ in the seats because yes....we are great fans....and we deserve better.) I would never disagree that he is not a nice person.....but I am not here nor are other alumni and fans to see someone, who is a "good guy" drive our program into the ground. We someone with some fire, someone who demands excellence, who knows exactly what is going on in his entire team's life and what their aspirations are.....and someone that has a better scheme offensively and defensively fits B12 play.
We must remove him from the program at season's end.
Mike Davis--UAB, put him at the top of my list, played for a National Championship, went to UAB has some good recruits and has proven to beat good teams on the road...
Yup, just a handful.
Point is the same player bolting problem is here today as it was then. The same problem that we only get a small recruit class and of that even a smaller set if really good players. And still the problem exists where the very good players we have leave.
Same crap different coach.
You can't compare the two. It's sort of like saying "We should have never gotten rid of Dan McCarney" after Chizik's two years. I like DMac as much as anyone, but it was time for him to go.
Now, if you want to say GMac hasn't panned out like we all hoped he would, then you would get no argument from me.
Whose to say ISU's record would be any better right now under Morgan?
