You don't "know" anything. Fred left ISU. He didn't want the job. That is the definition of "not being a fit." C'mon people. He was great while he was here, but he is no longer a good fit for ISU by his own choices.

If Altman is a candidate, idk why we're talking about anyone else.

Ridiculous. He left ISU to pursue a dream. He pursued it and it’s over. Obviously he had enough. He didn’t stay there as an assistant or go for a front office job. He came back to college coaching. He’s the perfect fit for ISU if he wants to be. If he doesn’t then we find the next best one.
If anyone would like to put $20 on Dana Altman being the coach of ISU next year I would happily take your money or lose my money.
Yeah, Pollard isn't paying the money to get Altman here.
I wouldn’t be so sure about that. Don’t know if Altman is interested but I think $$ isn’t going to be as big of an issue as some people make it out to be. Just from what I heard.
That would be interesting if true. Seems like Pollard has always gone for someone he didn't have to start off paying a big salary.
He hasn’t and still might not. He may choose someone who’s less expensive but a better fit. I’ve just heard that the $ should be there for just about anyone.
It’s odd to say Fred doesn’t want to be here as a negative in regards to evaluating the potential effectiveness of candidates. A negative to whether he’s actually a candidate? Yes. But Fred is the not going to come here right now unless he wants to be here. That “want” may not last forever. The same is true for all candidates.
Fred would leave Lincoln for Ames in a second guys
Ha!
I have taken so much **** for what was 90% an act 6 years ago. And it turns out that many, many posters are much more crazy than I am.
But to your point, I think the evidence suggests that Hoiberg did not want to be here and does not want to be here.
This is really what it boils down to: JP’s pride.
No it boils down to why would you pay 10 million dollars for a coach who's 5-34 in his own conference
JP has an ego.
But assuming Hoiberg wants back (and I doubt it’s serious interest) there are legit reasons why it wouldn’t work.
1. The game has changed. Has he?
2. The NBA buyout. There must be one.
3. The assistants. Matt A burned bridges (with hoibergs approval). If I’m JP, he’s a non starter. If Matt a doesn’t come, who the hell recruits for Hoiberg.
I mean we will pay for another guy that’s below .500 on his conference too.
5-34 is a lot different than just below .500 but I'm not really interested in a TJ vs Fred debate
