People forget this is ultimately a business, and Pollard is a great business man
Posted this in the ongoing game day thread but what the heck.
1.)think of better times as an ISU fan.
2.) Reminder why firing Pollard looks pretty silly.

Then let’s do it. Of the names we hear, he and Craig Smith look like the best options (I don’t think Altman will leave Oregon to come here).
I don't advocate sacrificing basketball for football, but Pollard's #1 priority is keeping Matt Campbell happy. Continuing this run in football is going to benefit the AD more in the long run. But you can still make a solid hire in basketball and not take anything away from FB.
I'm guessing there are some donors willing to step up because of how bad this year has been, but Pollard has made it clear to them the department's first priority is giving Campbell and his staff the raises they deserve.
You want Pollard to pay a 10 million buyout to bring in a coach with a 5-32 conference record in his current spot?
if its not easy or realistic to turn around cyclone hoops in 2 years, why is TJ getting crushed for not doing it at UNLV?
Even with all the stupid "wHy iS iSu rAnKeD sO hIgH" narratives, the amount of publicity we got last season trumps anything we've gotten in the past.
I'm liking the idea of pursuing Smith. First preference.
The more I learn about TJ the more concerned I am about his coaching ability. We know he'll bring in top talent but I'm concerned about his x's and o's.
That being said if it is TJ, have him bring in a coach like Phil Martelli at Michigan. Howard handles all the recruiting and team management, Martelli teaches. That combination would be a home run hire.

Doesn’t mean we should hire him.
much easier to sink a program in two years (Phrom) than it is to build a program.
whoever the next coach is we need to be realistic with expectations! If that happens sooner than later great!!! But, this is likely going to take some time and ultimately Cyclone fans (myself included) are not overly patient
Lol. A guy with zero coaching experience. Some of you have terrible memories or are just ignorant.
A while ago now, but second time. Anybody remember Maury John? But that was more of a 'Boy what could have been', sad story, died of CA.
Someone brought up earlier that hiring TJ would be a 1 for 1 replacement for Prohm, and I’d have to agree. TJ would bring in talent like Prohm has, but coaching would be about the same.
That said, I’ll trust Pollard’s judgement. Even if that means Prohm stays on for next year. JP is the one who has quarterbacked this entire rise to prominence that the athletic department is enjoying, not anyone else on this board.
