Hoiberg Watch 2015: Monday, June 1 Open Thread

[sngorman]

He should use that extra $ to get a helicopter to fly from home to the UC. A lot less stress that way too.

Too much risk of getting shot-down...

Won't bother to watch the presser. More FH BS. Oh it was a diffucult decision, I love ISU, blah, blah. Fred, we know the real you now so just tell us that you are a money lover that sh** on ISU for your personal financial gain. Oh and thanks for quitting while still getting paid. We can and will do better with a coach that is actually upfront and truthful.

I just published Monday Musings, which you can read here.

It's almost over, guys.

Chris, Who do you think gets the job at this point? No pressure, but most of us have accepted that Fred is gone and want to know who is going to be here.

Do what your signature says you're going to do.. because at some point that time IS going to happen again, it maybe next year, it maybe in 10 years but nothing lasts forever! Enjoy and celebrate the good times, support the team during the not so good times.

17 years ago when Floyd left I felt that it was the end, especially when they hired some guy named Larry to replace him. Things didn't go so good that first year, but man what a ride we all had!

that pep talk earns some rep good sir

Loyal sons forever true.

"It's almost over, guys."

The drawn-out coaching shift, or the winning?" Just want to clarify.

 

[carvers4math]

Loyal sons forever true.

And we will fight depression too.

Perfect opportunity to read anything we want into the lyrics, to match the situation and various interpretations!

Hoiberg prefers Bulls opening vs. ISU loyalty:
“Desperately in need of some stranger’s hand / In a desperate land.

ISU/JP coaching search:
“Driver, where you takin’ us?â€￾

ISU fan freakout:
“And all the children are insane / waiting for the summer rain.â€￾

Hoiberg is actually joining Timberwolves, traveling by Mississippi Riverboat:
“Ride the snake/to the lake.â€￾

Hornacek is staying with the Suns:
“The West is the best.â€￾
Or:
Thibodeau to Phoenix, so Hornacek is released to take ISU job:
“The West is the best / Get here, and we’ll do the rest.â€￾

Hoiberg regrets not being Warriors coach:
“Weird scenes inside the goldmine.â€￾

Are you this bitter in real life?

Have you never looked for or taken a new job?

 

[cymac2408]

I'm not done with ISU athletics. But screw it, I' done with the kick to the stones. I'm taking my dog and myself in and we are getting neutered.

 

[istater7]

I guess when they were tweeting about NBA plays after the surgery, it was plays for the Bulls.

Nate Loesner was also in that conversation

 

[istater7]

One little note: Sounds like Charlie Henry will be on Hoiberg's staff in come capacity in Chicago. Probably not as a coach but like a video guy or something like that.

Any word on the rest of the assistant coaches? Both for Fred's new staff and the guys left at ISU?

This is why many of us, as long-time Cyclone fans, can never really enjoy success without fretting. We are always looking over our shoulder waiting for the other shoe to drop and for something bad to happen. Because the past has shown over and over that things can (and will) change in an instant. So next time we are having success and some of us are still nervous, maybe now you will know why.

That's a great point.

I can, but then, I'm a resilient mother ******.

Ya have fun with that commute and your kids now get to attend the ritzy rich kid school that will be fun; and also at a crucial time in your childrens lives you have now doubled how much work you have . I pity the guy for his lack of spiritual peace. But I also agree with him that coaching college stinks but living in Ames and raising your family here; nothing can top that and your family is yhe most important.

 

[im4cyclones]

The honest truth is Fred Hoiberg is just a man. Iowa State is bigger than any one man. We won before Fred and we will win after him.

Why would you do that to your poor dog?
