Likely to finish 17-14 and 12-6 in the MWC in his first year. UNLV with Jenkins and Tillman both sitting out will be in the Top 2 in the MWC next year.
Otz KO'd the last unbeaten team
- Thread starter CoKane
- Start date
Anyways, title updated now. Really good win for TJ in his first year at UNLV. Hard to get much better than winning @ an unbeaten team in February
I have no prob with Otz as long as he’s not the isu coach.
He is bothered by anything remotely connected to Hoiberg. He would rather have the 30 point beat downs at home then talk about CFH or any of his assistants.
You honestly believe the program would be in worse shape after five years under T.J. then it is today. T.J. would own the Midwest if Iowa State was a Top 20 squad. He would recruit circles around Prohm.
The ship will sail on Otz once Prohm gets his final two seasons to run the program back into State Gym.
Great win for them and on the road to boot. I’m jealous we get curb stomped by 30 at home to an unranked team.
Watch him turn us down now in a couple years. Wisconsin will probably hire him.
“I only want to hire someone with HC experience” everyone always says. Waaaaallllleeeeee.
There'd be nothing sweeter than to see Otz become head coach here and you stop being a fan
I take great comfort knowing that you and the other hoiberg worshippers won’t get what you want.
I’m glad some of you aren’t the AD here. 1 bad year and suddenly CSP is killing the program. All the other great stuff he’s done is meaningless. It’s crazy.
“other great stuff”. Clarify?
You mean won with another coaches guys? Not pull together a legit tournament team last year that went out on an L to Ohio State? Have two years of absolute trash basketball? The man can recruit, I’ll give him that. But he’s selling the fans and the atmosphere. Any coach can do that.
The worse loss EVER in Hilton Coliseum. I was there. It is tragic from a sports standpoint what is happening. We have lost by double digits 4 times at Hilton this year, two of the three worse losses in program history and that’s not including the Florida AM loss when we were 27 point favorites.
His head coaching can’t overcome the talent deficit which he is now responsible for in Year 5. I was around for McDermott years. That performance yesterday was worse than any effort I ever saw under McDermott. His job at the end of the day is to win.
You are the one 100% wrong. TJ was Pollard’s choice when Leath pulled the power play and said Iowa State needed to hire a “high profile” coach to counter the loss of a “high profiled/legend” coach in Hoiberg. It happened the 11th hour.
