You say Steve's seat isn't hardly warm but also acknowledge that we will likely be picked 8-10th in the Big 12 again next year which would be 3 out of 4 years. Is that the new acceptable standard of ISU mbb for Pollard if his seat isn't hot you think?

If he finishes 8-10 again, he'll probably be gone. But it doesn't matter where he's picked.

Let's be honest though, Iowa State basketball has probably been picked at the bottom half of the conference much, much more than it has been picked near the top. Some people seem to think we are a traditional blue blood basketball school.

Wouldn't that make his seat warm though?

And I'm pretty sure CW DID say that his seat was warm. He said he didn't think he'd get fired this year, but that his seat was warm.

Gotcha thanks. I must have misunderstood the post above mine. I didn't listen to the podcast. Miss the old text format. Much rather skim some text than listen to a podcast. Seems like everyone is moving to podcasts.

I thought it mattered where you finished and not where you are picked?

Chris' example was the "seat warmer in your car just starting to get warm."

Sure, lets look at that under this staff:
2020: picked 7th, currently 8th
2019: picked 6th, finished 5th
2018: picked 9th, finished 10th by 4 games
2017: picked 4th, finished 4th
2016: picked 3rd, finished 6th
I was just asking how the seat can't be warmer, not about preseason predictions. I used your words from the podcast.

That looks to me like an underachieving coach to me........
