The norm in this conference is to hire someone with P5 experience, and/or often with previous connections to the program. Previous P5 experience isn’t sufficient, but is generally requisite. No, there aren’t just as many exceptions to that. A vast majority of our conference peers hire guys with high major experience, if not prior experience as a HM HC.
Floyd and LE were over 20 years ago and in a different era. We’re an outlier with Jamie, although Hoiberg had the aforementioned prior connections. Prohm was a June Plan D candidate that doesn’t fit with the criteria of our peers, and in which red flags were ignored for the sake of some false notion of fit. The other ones like McD ( and Floyd and Larry if you choose to go back decades before huge TV money), had demonstrated more than inherited wealth, all building programs.
There are still hoops to jump through with him though. His staff for instance would have to be shaken up.
I mean it isn't some sort of huge defense, but just talks about how that 2019 was really good and then according to guys like Fracilla, some guys kind of didn't know how to handle things. And Fran brings up how good things could have been the next year if THT had come back to go in the first round and if Lindell had come back.
TJ had “no comment” when asked about him being on our list to replace Steve.
Am I surprised he didn’t at least use an ambiguous comment as a means of a non-denial? Yes
You mean something like, "My focus is getting our team ready for the Mountain West Conference tournament"?
Agree, I would think a statement along the non denial front would be better, he has to know he would be asked this at some point.
Yea, if he really is able to get Altman and settles for TJ that would be sad and pathetic.
I agree. I got round 1 of pfizer last week. I drove out of state to get it but capacity is coming online very quickly.
I am under the assumption JP's criteria isn't based on that lowest common denominator. Because if that's the case.....my 18 year old who is a freshman at ISU could use the money.
We will still have the 10th best coach in the Big 12 and KSU will have a top 3 one when they pay for Altman.
Somehow I hope none of us allow ourselves to feel like we 'settled'. Don't want to go there. Hopefully TJ proves that wrong.
He’s a straight shooter with Big 12 head coach material written all over him. TJ wants to be here. A lot of people have that on their list of “wants”.
