Dead horse removal is apparently not deemed an essential service in Iowa during the Covid-19. More's the pity.
DeJulius Thread: What I'm hearing

- Start date
He absolutely should get credit for those. But you have to look at the totality of the last five years as compared to the other teams in this conference:
Wins over last five years:
KU 149
West Virginia 116
Baylor 114
Texas Tech 113
Kansas State 99
Oklahoma 97
TCU 96
Iowa State 95
Texas 90
Oklahoma State 83
In the last three years:
Kansas 85-21
Texas Tech 76-30
Baylor 65-33
West Virginia 62-42
Kansas State 61-42
TCU 60-42
Texas 59-43
Oklahoma 57-40
Oklahoma State 51-49
Iowa State 48-50
And fair or unfair CSP doesn’t get the benefit of starting out his tenure at Iowa State after the previous regime failed.

Success is measured by overall record, I agree with that. Your statement that he was handed a team that could go to the final four is stupid, considering the same team lost in the first round a year before. They also did go to the Sweet 16, I don't know how anyone in their right mind could consider a Sweet 16 that year a disappointment. It's happened like 4-5 times in Iowa State history?
We sucked last year, we sucked 3 year ago. Complain about that, that's fair game. Complaining about only making the sweet 16? That is dumb.
I'm glad he wasn't fired this off season. I think that is way too short of a leash and is a terrible look for trying to hire a new coach. If they suck again next year, I think it'll be the right time to let him go.
Don't know, and can't speak for curt......but after 23 wins and this:
...I'm not searching for what went "wrong".
If you look at that in full context, it just gives you an idea of how poorly he did as a coach for most of the rest of the season. We greatly underperformed and then lost in the first round of the NCAA's because of inept coaching. Dude just isn't that good at this level. It is what it is.
I agree with half your statements. He was handed a squad capable of a Final Four run is not stupid but they finished with 12 losses IIRC. That says a lot about maximizing talent too as a coach. Then you take away the guys he was gifted and check his record too. Next year will be a true testament to those who defend this coach. He will hopefully get us to the NIT next year.
We’re left to fantasies now!
Sorry, all you get is a Big 12 title. Still trading?
I’m not. But I’m not sure we’re doomed to sucking. Land a couple surprises in the next few months, a staff change or two, and this can be turned around. Quickly imo.
Virginia lost to a 16 seed in the first round and won the national title the next year. I guess because they lost in the first round people saying they had a final 4 roster was just stupid.
Then you’re saying if he wins 25 games this year, that won’t be enough either.
because he will be the coach here next year, in whatever form of a season it is.
So, if he wins, then that is the opposite of what you actually want, because is will extend his tenure.
Conversely, we actually want to see Iowa State win. That's why we want Prohm gone.
Another dumb comment, lets just continue to keep Prohm going forward and never hold him accountable for his guys he recruits, get suspended, his transfers in and out etc etc etc. Hes responsible for it all....your players dont execute? Guess who is responsible making millions....The players bear no responsibility at all for those 12 losses, only Prohm?
