It's Possible......

I have more scenarios ready. Whatever it takes.

Please don’t.

I realize this was meant as gallows humor - or at least I think it was - but I hope people realize that it doesn't work this way. If Pollard has money for a bridge, we're getting a bridge. Prohm's buyout will have to come from somewhere else.

I don't get why Pollard gets no blame about this. It's like he's untouchable.

Hey, he backed into the time with all the TV money!!

Because he’s been, by far, a net positive for ISU athletics. Prohm was a good hire at the time.

Stop it, you're not an Avenger.

 

[stormchaser2014]

I know where to get the reality stone.

We are officially the basement team in the B12.

2017/18- 10th place
2018/19- 6th place with a roster loaded with NBA or D-league guys
2019/20- 10th place (9th if we're lucky)
2020/21- Unless we land a BIG TIME transfer, we are a lock for 10th place.

Honestly, I’m not sure yet, you’re probably right, but I’ve seen KSU and OSU play and they look historically bad too.

So, there is a possibility here.
We take the $10 million for the ped walkway, fire Prohm, pay half of Hoiberg's buyout, then Fred kicks in some cash from his own Bulls buyout, and we get it all rolling again.

Shouldn't be too hard.

cancel everything besides wrestling, football, volleyball, women's and men's basketball and use the funds to buy out Prohm.

He's not but he's done so much more positive for ISU athletics than Prohm has that he gets some leeway.

 

[awd4cy]

I don’t either honestly. His track record of hiring coaches isn’t very good. He did great with Hoiberg and Campbell, but horribly missed with McDermott, Chizik, Rhoads, and Prohm. I don’t trust him hiring our next basketball coach.

I don't get why Pollard gets no blame about this. It's like he's untouchable.

For starters, he did what we wanted him to do. Who ever complained when Prohm got raises or extensions? Nobody. Same as how nobody complains when Campbell gets them now.

As it happens, tonight I stumbled into Pollard's tweet from last March announcing Prohm's extension. It's full of replies, almost universally positive, including people I follow on Twitter who praised the move at the time and have since checked out entirely.

This is a total hindsight bias situation, and we're as much to blame as Pollard.

Yeah, pretty sure asking for approval to build the bridge is already on the minutes for the Board of Regents meeting next week too.

Pollard wanted TJ, Leath wanted Prohm.

Maybe we can get Carson King to hold up another sign.

 

[tyler24]

Pollard wanted TJ, Leath wanted Prohm.

Leath also wanted an ugly ass triangle in the south lots. Looks like an impressive start to a swing set.

Unfortunately you get judged on results and reality. Not perception at the time

Not a personal question thread, sir.

When Pollard interviewed that group of finalists in Atlanta before hiring Prohm, I'm sure there were some who were more authoritaritive, demanding, and vocal than Prohm. But Pollard didn't want someone that much different than Fred, to make the transition for the players easier, so he went with Steve.
What he got was someone who is afraid to hold players accountable, almost timid in a way.

I'm not really clear what you mean here, as it pertains to Pollard.
