Hallice Cooke on Prohm

I'm not sure on this one, he recruited the guys that Rhoads won with those first four seasons.
5-19 record and some of the most undisciplined football I've seen played at ISU over the years and that is spanning over some other bad seasons too. The fact Rhoads won with his players tells you what kind of coach Chiz was. Let's not forget other than the 1 season at Auburn where Cam Newton basically won him the Natty he was 19-19 the other 3 seasons and never a HC again.
Rule #1 of any new job: “Always follow a Putz.”
Tim Floyd doesn’t get enough love around here.
I mean, good coach but he was here for only 4 years with the last season being a losing season so he isn't going to get a ton of attention one way or the other.
McDermott is the all time example.
Prohm won a Big 12 tournament with guys he recruited. McDermott never even made the NIT, and never beat a ranked team in Hilton. His tenure here was remarkably bad. Even bad coaches like Morgan and Prohm had big wins in Hilton, and not only qualified for, but advanced in the NCAA tournament.
Greg McDermott's failure at ISU gets harder to fathom with every passing year. He won everywhere but here. Every other post-Orr ISU coach but him won on some meaningful level. He's a good coach, this is a good job, but the combination was terrible.
Steve was a great guy just wasn't a good long term fit for ISU. Imagine TJ with the talent he had that first season....
I don't think CSP handled things (among other) in a concrete, direct way but didn't McKay have issues with not attending practice or something?
I think it involved some sort of injury too but I thought that was a thing and it was what led to his suspension.

I feel like McKay’s issues were McKay’s alone, not Prohms.
True, but Prohm was elite at weirdly not being able to handle guys like McKay and Dendy.
But it can be argued that TJs teams expend more energy on defense so the minutes are harder.
I'm thinking Dendy was GMAC. Lard IMO was Prohm's biggest mistake as far as handling players.
Yeah, Prohm was bad and in over his head, but McKay of all folks was part of the problem. Dude didnt want to be accountable. Probably a bit on Fred for the lax accountability and put Prohm in a bad spot. He was just, as someone said earlier, a meek personality.
They don’t make that sweet 16 if Chris Beard and Arkansas Little Rock had lost to Purdue in the Round of 64. Purdue was way too big.
Yes, McKay did not want to be accountable in practice or going to class. Poison on the bench. Add that along with Naz being out the entire season due to hip surgery, 15-16 was never going to be what people dreamed.
