Indiana, Purdue, Butler, Notre Dame, yeah, good luck recruiting in that state.
I mean, Nick Nurse has done all the HR paperwork at ISU....we have that advantage if we recruit him....no one likes filling that crap out, lol
I like the Hammon idea, when you said maybe hire a different woman, my 1st thought turned to Mulkey at Baylor proven coach and it would open up the B12 on the women's side 2 birds with one stone. LOL.
I don't believe there will be a change.this year. I think he gets another year. We were missing a point guard that would have made a difference in these close games and a good one coming in.. Seldom do you fire someone after giving them an extension but y'all carry on. However attendance was down this year. I'm not bothering reading all this. I will support whoever is the coach.

What PG were we missing? Lol don’t say Halliburton because Steve knew Tyrese was leaving before the season. Steve had all year to get a PG and he couldn’t. Also, we’ve won 2 games. 2. 2... Lol
You don’t keep a coach because you made a mistake in extending him two years ago. You don’t keep a coach because of a recruiting class either.
0-18. He cant be the coach next year. There is no excuse for 0-18.
I think we should take a look at the Winthrop coach. Aside from his first year as HC, he’s never finished worse than 3rd in his conference. Even though the Big South isn’t exactly a power conference, it’s still a good accomplishment. FYI, Winthrop is currently 25-1 with an auto-bid locked in.
Yep, only 1 point guard away from 16-2 instead of 0-18. Would have probably won a Big 12 championship also if Foster didn't get hurt.
The stupidity of your attendance post when minimal fans are allowed because of a little thing called a global pandemic is mind boggling also.
Realistically, it’s going to be a long journey back to where we were. I mean, it would even take Phil Jackson or Popovich a few years to get Iowa State to the upper echelon of the Big 12 from where we are now.
Want: Hoiberg or Altman
Think it will be: Hoiberg
Don't want: TJ
I can't believe so many fans are dead set against bringing arguably the best coach is program history back (Hoiberg). The only candidates that have proven themselves more would be Altman and Matta, if they are even realistic options.

I think there are a lot of arguments against the statement that Fred is the best coach in the history of the program...many subjective metrics but it would be hard to defend that position! Loved Fred while he was here (other than the fact that it always felt that couldn't wait to bolt...which was his prerogative) but the "when will he leave" got really old by the time he did leave!
If Altman is realistic, I'd want him. I saw a lot of him at Creighton growing up, so I'm probably biased. I think it'll be TJ or Smith. I don't want Fred but I like him more than the mid major guys that have been talked about. I'll come around to whoever it is by next November and be all in haha.
WV, KU, Tech and OU don't have a true PG and things have worked out for them. Those coaches found away. That's a tough group of coaches to be compared to but its life in our conference and it doesn't include Drew or Dixon....or Shaka and Bruce for that matter who have taken teams to the final four. Figure it out or you won't be able to hang. Steve has proven he can't hang.
Ok I don’t want Loyola’s coach anymore. I cannot watch teams that use all of the shot clock. That would stress me out too much.
They did that when they made their final four run. I can stand that kind of stress.
Proven successful tactic at the mid-major level. Not so much in the Big 12. There’s no defense that is good enough to play in the 60’s in this league.
