Are these the same media members with connections that think Campbell was going to definitely leave Iowa State? They just make up stuff based on general trends and hope some of it sticks. Then they can say they predicted it while ignoring the 10 times as many things they got wrong.
Fred's dream job was always going to the NBA and yes he thought he could succeed in Chicago
Everyone knew in May of 2015 this was going to be an epic failure and that in 3 years both Iowa State and the Bulls would be in worse shape. He should have stayed at ISU.
I admire his confidence in himself.
I’ll never understand why he would hitch his wagon to the slime ball that is Gar.
Not sure Iowa State is in worse shape.
Fred never had a healthy, cohesive roster to work with. That said I don't think he was really the right fit for the job from the start anyways. Wish him the best to wherever he lands.
I think that it was one of his mistakes here, but it wasn’t just one time. There were a few of them that we had that were that shady recruiting. His mistake was going all in on those guys. He should have focused more on the Georges and Montes of the world.
And just like that my brief time as a bulls fan is over... I readily admit I don't know much about basketball or the NBA, but even I could see he never stood a chance with that front office in Chicago. Hope he gets another chance with a more competent group. Really don't want to see him back in the NCAA, but I don't believe he wants that anyway from what I've read.
Not this year, Prohm has finally put together a roster that can compete for a Big 12 championship and you can see the talent level on this years team. That being said we've had 3 straight years of underwhelming basketball.
Fred's interest in the Gopher job would seem to support this take. This move would not have fit either the 'NBA dream' or 'hates recruiting' narrative.
Go be a nuggets fan. They seem to be well coached. They love Monte. And they are good.
That Sweet 16, 3 NCAA Tourney wins and a Big 12 Tourney title was underwhelming?
Trying not to get too off topic here... I still like Fred and appreciate the years and success when he coached here but I agree with you, between the 2 I think Prohm is a better college coach. Prohm is actually building a program and culture that can hopefully sustain winning over the long term instead of the peaks and valleys we have seen in the past with this program. Prohm likes recruiting and he's proven he can bring elite HS talent to Ames so far. I think he runs a tighter ship with his discipline too and we're seeing a shift towards playing better defense while maintaining a very similar approach on offense to what Fred ran. Fred did bring in some good HS talent like Niang, Naz, Monte, and Thomas but outside of that it was pretty thin and left Prohm with a 2 year recruiting gap when it came to HS players when he left too.
I wish Fred the best of luck and hope he finds a job that makes him happy.
He's not going anywhere next year. He gets a guaranteed $5 million as long as he doesn't take another head coach job in the NBA. I'm guessing he's going to take that time to spend with his family.
What would be awesome is if he's so bored sitting at home that he decides to come to help Prohm here in Ames for some "pro-bono" work on the Cyclones offense.
