Babb seems like he’s ready to be done and I don’t blame him. I also think he’s never really been 100% healthy the last 2 years. His knee issues were always going to follow him.

No one is right or wrong. No one really knows. It is just speculation on either side unless something definitive is said.
To me, the moment that seems to sum up Prohm's coaching style is during this year's Iowa game when during a timeout after an Iowa run early in the first half, ESPN played a short clip of him in the huddle and he is just going "We need to stop them from scoring guys. They've already scored 29 points. That's way too many points." And it almost looks as if he is writing "29 points" in his white board. Granted by itself , that short clip by itself doesn't really mean anything, but after 4 years, it seems like his entire gameday coaching technique is "Stop doing bad things. Start doing good things."
Since his first year here, I have felt like he is still stuck in a mid-major mindset where you recruit a couple of stud guys and just tell them "Just do your thing" and coast through most your conference schedule. This year, we are really seeing how ineffective this is in a big-boy conference where you need to have your team ready to go twice a week against competitive teams with good coaches.

I’m going to disagree, because someone has to, dammit. I’ve seen stranger things happen than a somewhat quick recovery from a situation like this.
Jesus, Fred is not coming back. He started interviewing for jobs, college as well as pro, after they lost to Ohio State.
They would have found any dollar he wanted if it would have kept him here. He still chose to leave.
He’s my 3rd favorite Iowa State player ever, behind mike Born and Brian Pearson. Loved him as a player, and was grateful for what he did as a coach. But he and his family were ready to leave Ames for awhile before they did.
was it over when the germans bombed pearl harbor?
Actually in November team was pretty cohesive, but a couple of things changed after that.
My guess is players starting hearing about draft status or heard from agents/handlers/etc and started playing for themselves to impress scouts.
Devil’s Advocate here...isn’t a huge part of coaching getting your players to respond to you and do the basic things effectively?
I agree and he seems to be failing miserably in that aspect.
We've actually literally seen the exact opposite thing happen at the same school!
Think seasons like 01 and 2015. Everything looks rosy and then
Is this where I'm supposed to say "Let Me Mayor Coach"? Did I so that right?
