Just a few off the top of my head
You're right, we need to keep some perspective. Prohm only has the 2 worst losses in the history of Hilton Coliseum and the first 20 loss season in what...40ish years? Wait, that probably isn't the perspective you wanted us to arrive at.
I know prior to 2011 we were always losing 20 games a year, losing at home by 30 to a bubble squad and losing at home to a MEAC squad.
But fortunately for Fred, Larry took care of that embarrassing ncaa tourney loss. He’s only second on that list.
Also broke the 59 game winning streak for KU at the Phog.
But look, if Prohm doesn’t get to the tourney this year, I don’t care if he’s gone after that, I would fully understand. I don’t have a ton of faith in him personally at the moment but I think this years class will actually produce 1 Star and 1 really good Big 12 player and that’s where I have faith.
Your questions are based on inaccurate assumptions. Your first, that I'm just being negative, isn't accurate. I'm merely reacting to the reality of the situation. It's a reflection of actual results. You may want to refer to that as being negative, but I disagree. This isn't like I'm nit-picking a sweet 16 team and predicting a bottom finish the following year. I'm a fan of the program and an alum that has spent a lot of money and time invested in going to games because I love cyclone basketball. That being said, if you think my "negativity" on a message board means much in terms of the performance of Steve's program, then I think you need to reexamine your own thought process.
The message board thing.....on a normal year I would agree. But with them now not being able to set foot on campus, to meet people, walk through Hilton, where things like a piddly little message board means ****....isn't the case anymore. Not that this site is the end all....but it holds more weight than usual. And with the vocal minority here beating the same drum in EVERY discussion....it adds up.
And the Floyd Era, and the Eustachy era....
Are you saying we should be satisfied as fans during program down periods like GMac and Prohm? We as fans should just be happy with it? No, our program needs to improve. It appears we need a new coach to do that, this one has failed.
Hey, you are just being a bad fan.
By my definition, fans who place loyalty to a specific coach over the ISU program itself are the bad fans.
Hindsight is so easy. Isn't it? I'm just trying to get people with all the opinions on the front end of the possible scenarios. I've said it before and I'll say it again: people who only criticize without solutions aren't my cup of tea.
Is our spring recruiting success different than previous springs?
I get the desire in thinking there are actions you can take to help and to feel there’s some reward for being a “good” (positive/naive) fan, but that’s just your coping mechanism. Or fantasy!
This staff has generally struggled every spring. Now the entire coaching profession can point to assistants trying to leave and 12-20, etc. It’s bound to be worse than even before.
But fear not, it only takes one. And it’ll happen regardless of what you or I post.
All I remember from 40 years ago, is that it was consistent year in and year out. And none of those players went to the NBA. And none of those coaches won a B12 conference championship. I get what everyone is saying. It's just that people don't have to be the squeaky wheel to be heard.
The solution is to replace Prohm with a coach who can succeed at the Big 12 level.
