*** ASST. COACH SEARCH THREAD: Wed, June 10th ***

[Rural]

I hope this asst. situation isn't as stressful or frustrating for Prohm as it is for me having to read/think about it. Guess I'm just too soft-hearted when it comes to "he said-she said" stuff. Can't wait for this all to be behind us. Still don't think Rothstein had to take that agenda info and print it in that way. But that's just me.

It isn't.

Blows my mind why they post those job openings, and have them available for anyone to apply. I giggle thinking about Prohm sifting though random bum's resumes.

This is just a formality. I remember my buddy telling me about how they had many former players apply through Iowa State job site when they had HC posting up after Larry got fired.

So, things should start falling into place this week? Can't wait to see how the staff develops!

If you are letting the assistant coach hiring stress you out, then you need to take some time away to de-stress. Worrying accomplishes nothing. It will not change the outcome one bit.

Think legally they have to list them

yes state law

Here's one coach who won't be following Prohm. I'd expect the we should be learning the names he will have on staff soon though.

@GTuckerHoops: Matt McMahon has made his first hire at Murray State. He will retain assistant coach James Kane: http://t.co/zp0ZCQWTAv

Small seems to be the one getting mentioned, so I'm taking this as good news.

I bet we'll know a lot more 24-48 hours from now. Prohm hopefully is diversifying his staff in terms of who knows what regions/contacts ect.

 

[ruxCYtable]

There are over 300 State employees that made over $300k and the vast majority do nothing while their TA's teach their classes at the U of I.

adjusted slightly

They're required to post them publicly. Either a state law, affirmative action requirement, or both.

This sounds better for Otz staying?

@TravisHines21: Looks like Murray State's James Kane can be eliminated from consideration for Prohm's Iowa State staff http://t.co/Q2PHcKQITD

Per Jon Rothstein, William Small will come to ISU as an assistant.

Steve Prohm will bring William Small to Iowa State as an assistant coach, sources told @CBSSports. Small was on staff at Murray State.

[Dandy]

So replacing Charlie Henry, I assume. Mann and Otz still a possibility?

 

[Wesley]

Jon R must be good buds with JP. He has lots of good info.

 

[ChrisMWilliams]

Here is my guess at what happens...


Otz (or Mann), Small and somebody from the outside (not on Prohm's previous staff or a current ISU staffer).

Sounding good for Micah Byars to keep his job as ops director, which is huge for continuity. The players absolutely adore him.

 

[isufbcurt]

Small
Chew
Otz

Micah as DO

my hope anyways

William Small ... Man this guy is old!

What do you make of the Operations Director position being posted to ISU's site? Just a formality or could we see Micah in a different role?
