Really no point to this thread/question other than to see people vent their frustration that Hoiberg left again. Prohm will be here as long as he is having success and the future of the program looks good. If he struggles/fails then absolutely we would take Hoiberg back if he wants the job.

jsb saying he didn't like it here may be off base but the guy looked into the Minnesota job. Either he did that to leverage a raise or he did it because he wanted the job. I don't blame him for it nor do I blame him for leaving but Fred didn't have the view of ISU that people think he did. Sure, he loved being here, but this wasn't ever his intended endgame at any point in his career here and not believing that is foolish.

Yes, I fully realize I've been sucked into the trap.

Why would Jamie want a coach that clearly never wanted to be at Iowa State? And who wasn't at all committed to a big part of the job (recruiting)? As it turns out, we would have been better off had Fred left a year earlier.

I still believe that Holberg will be a college coach again. But it won't be here.


I am going to get flamed for this but what the ****. I agree with JSB

agreeing with me is the final stage before acceptance in the hoiberg ordeal. I was in deep denial for about a month last year, but I got to the truth long before anyone else.

You are still in denial, and no you didn't. Any CFH thread is like a moth to an old porch light for you.

Fred would absolutely not want JP to fire Prohm in order to hire him. Fred is a classy guy believe it or not.

Is this the most logical question, no. But it's laughable how defensive most of you get when Prohm and Fred are mentioned together. In a perfect scenario, there's no doubt Pollard, and all the fans, would rather have Hoiberg over Prohm.
Fred, as our coach, is not a perfect scenario so what's the freaking point?

Or maybe Fred did want to be here until all the fans got so freaking weird with him that he couldn't walk out his door without people wanting to swing from his ****.

He also may not have known that he would hate recruiting as much as he actually did

You just rearranged my sentence to make it fit your narrative.
When I say "in a perfect scenario" it involves a Fred Hoiberg who is Iowa St's Mike Krzyzewski. There's no Cyclone fan that wouldn't want to see that.

If a swallow is carrying a weight and is either african or european, how much wood could a woodchuck chuck if peter piper picked a peck of pickled peppers?


That makes about as much sense as it would for Pollard to do what you're suggesting there.

Well, it took Fred 2.5 years to accomplish 50% of what Fred did in 5 years, so it's a little disingenuous to bag on Prohm for not accomplishing it in 1.

Re-read my first post. I indicated that Prohm may be a great coach at Iowa State but you have to be crazy to say right now he is a better coach than Fred Hoiberg.
