Most Important Part of TJ's Contract Extension
- Thread starter Jer
- Start date
I think in this iteration, you need to focus on his salary.
It’s been discussed that he is happy to be at Iowa State and doesn’t appear to be shopping around for other jobs (unless insiders know something we don’t). So buyout and length doesn’t seem as important this time around.

Whatever makes TH happy is the most important part to me.
Keeping Coach Green has to be the priority this offseason. He’s been a big part of the improvement we saw on the interior.
Bumping up the dollar amount helps ward off the "offer he can't refuse" aspect.
Guessing TJ is built similar to Campbell and gets more for his staff before anything else.
TJ needs to be taken care of obviously, but by all accounts he’s here for awhile so I said assistant salaries
Need to keep high level assistants around. Maybe Kyle Green sticks around for the long haul.
Probably not keeping JR much longer but go out and find the next guy like him

I just wonder when he goes to the Bulls. Every great coach at ISU seems to go there.
This. We all know JR will get a head coaching job soon but treating Green like CMC has treated Heacock should be a priority.
Definitely worried some of the assistants will bolt for bigger jobs elsewhere. It’s really hard to keep all the staff together after some success.

You think the Bulls organization could stomach that for a third time?
I don't think any of us can truly speak to his mindset, except maybe for a few people who personally know him. For all we know if he's offered a salary bump he might say "instead of giving me a million more dollars a year get me a million more in the NIL pool". Which honestly I think we are going to see more coaches do as a "bet on themselves" move, as if the talent can be brought in to sustain success more money will follow to take care of the salary component
Not that TJ isn’t deserving but I think the assistant coaching staff is huge. Blount is a stud. Green is a stud. The rest all make up an elite coaching staff.
This is a good point. I never thought about NIL and Coaches contracts from that perspective. Bump my assistant coaches salary up and give me an extra couple million so I can donate to NIL.
I was going to say give him half of Cytown and give CMC the other half.
I am fairly certain that coaches can not donate to collectives. That would be a huge oversight if they allow it lol
Honestly it wouldn't necessarily even be "so I can donate to NIL". It might be more "have the donor who was going to fork out extra to cover the salary bump give that to NIL instead"
I voted assistants.
It's not a coincidence TJ lives close to many of them in Ankeny. Blount, Byars, Crawford, Link (S&C), are all near TJs house.
