20 min until he commits on Instagram. Foster followed him yesterday and since yesterday Georges started following him too

Maybe foster is going to seton hall? jk

We were never a player. Came down to Maryland or Seton Hall

I will say CWill letting the cat out of the bag early does ease the pain a bit.

He doesn't deserve this next year because he's a nice person or whatever, he deserves it because he had a good year two years ago. Great year? No, but it was good. You don't fire someone for having one bad year imo.

I'll agree with you on the assistant thing. I think there should be some shakeup there.

When I say people are freaking out, I'm saying people are looking at each player going to another school as a failure for Coach Prohm when we're still in the beginning stages of the spring recruiting season. I just think people should take a step back before completely giving up for next year, that's all. As I said before, if we're still in this situation in a month or so, I'm probably going to be right there with them.

As far as my last paragraph, I'd agree it was weird for a message board. These are for posting opinions whether they're positive or negative so that's my bad.

How about for having historically bad seasons 2 out of 3 years?

The only ‘Final Four’ that Prohm will ever see is a recruit’s list of schools

Okay so now you don't get a rebuilding year? I don't get it lol. You were expecting Prohm to never ever have a bad year? Ever?

I mean, every other year is a bit much. And there’s a chance after the upcoming year he will have had one “good” year in four years.

I completely agree with you on that, which is why I'm all in for firing Prohm if next year's season is similar.

I was hoping something would change this year, either him or at least staff changes. But then ya know, pandemic.

Imagine making 2+ million dollars a year to just be able to say "it was a rebuilding year" as often as he has had the benefit of.

If we really lost so much talent that we've needed these two rebuilding years he should have accomplished much more than he did with that talent. You can't have it both ways.

I know people like the guy. He seems like a good guy. But for some there is a complete void of expectations for him that dates back to when he was first hired. People love making excuses for him.

I don't love Prohm lol, I'm just being fair to the guy because as much as a ton of people don't like to hear this, he deserves another year. Last year was an absolute s*** show, but I'm not going to completely melt down because of it. Prohm is doing exactly what he should be doing to be better next year and that's get rid of the guys who have been here and haven't improved, bring in a good recruiting class, and land a couple of transfers.

Think about it.. If we'd land Turner or Aiken, the majority of people on here would immediately be happy. They'd go from jumping off the deep end, to looking at next season with optimism. Neither of those guys have committed elsewhere yet and there are going to end up being guys that end up transferring later on that we'll have opportunities to get.

If Prohm doesn't turn it around this next season, he is likely gone. Complaining about the past is stupid when nothing can be done to change that. Literally nothing. So you can sit here and whine about it or choose to have even a sliver of faith and see what happens. Either way, after next year, most people will be happy. Prohm's either fired, or we've had a good season.

He doesn't deserve another year, but he'll get another 1 or 2.

The reason I think Prohm struggles in these quick recruiting spring sessions is that he doesn't have the charisma as some of these other coaches. He can develop relationships and land some good recruits but really selling kids fast and having the charisma to attract some of these players isn't his strong suit.

Also Prohm won't be gone even after this year. He will get another with all the stuff that is going on financially.

 

[RustShack]

His contract is through 2025. He might have a few years to rebuild lol.

I honestly don't know if you've read my other posts, but I've shared my opinion that I believe if he doesn't get it done this year he should be fired. I understood the rebuilding year 3 seasons ago. This past season, even though it makes sense after losing the talent we did, there's no reason whatsoever we should've ended up being as bad as we were. The two freshman leaving early could've been used on transfers or guys that didn't leave. Nixon was a complete bust. It was unacceptable honestly. I just hold the opinion that he should get next year to kick things back into gear. We don't have to be great, but making the tournament even as a 10 seed would be fantastic. If that doesn't happen, kick rocks.

This is honestly what scares me the most.. Playing football this fall is pretty important.

I'll go ahead and project that the only way he avoids another 20 loss season this time around would be a shortened season.

Honestly, we should give Prohm a 10-year extension. Make him coach for life.

Here’s to hoping he recruited the Fantastic Four. Or he manages to land some good transfers and then only two freshman need to be stars.
