Nebraska should lose every game until they drop down to Division 2, and then until their AD shuts off the lights. Nothing personal Fred.
On supporting The Mayor's decision and Iowa State basketball

Fred was history the moment he announced his move to the Bulls......as will Campbell when he announces his move to Ohio State or wherever.

Just another coach. He can go where he wants. He chose to leave. As a player he was great and his jersey will always hang in the rafters. As a coach he was just another guy that used us as a stepping stone. I don't think he owes us anything and I also don't think we owe him anything. We got our program put back on the right track and he got millions of dollars and a first step into head coaching that has earned him even more money. Even trade.
Hes done more for this University than any poster on here. Time for these haters to quit the petty ********
I don't know. What's Jamie Pollard's handle on here?
I wouldn't be so sure. I was part of the world record setting Twister game.
I agree with you and still think you're dumb. I guess I fall in that less than .5% that you're not accounting for.
Seems kind of odd to harbor any ill will towards Freddie, though you could see all of this coming from a mile away. Anyone with any sense knew the Bulls would fire him within three years--that's how it works. Even he probably knew that. Here we sit: Nebraska (presumably) has Hoiberg, UNLV has TJ and we're stuck with Prohm. It's a cruel world.
I have a Wheaties box with him on it you can have. So, no.
I should probably toss it before the mice eat it if they haven't already.
I don't know why anyone would be upset if Fred took the Nebraska job. It's his career and life decisions for his family. Seems to me anyone who is upset at Fred is small minded and personal self-worth too vested in sports!
My life goes on unaffected by where Fred coaches. I hope he wins every game he coaches except against ISU.

It's just as easy for your life to go on unaffected in this situation and continue to root against the Nebraska Cornhuskers. It's also easy to continue following ISU Athletics rather than Fred Hoiberg Athletics.
I agree that people who obsess over the guy and think he needs to vet his every move with the ISU faithful need to make some personal life changes. But it's also 100% reasonable to change Fred Hoiberg's status in the ISU pantheon if it wasn't already changed by his move to the Bulls. He went from hometown hero whose entire career had been equally dedicated to his own and ISU's advancement, to just another successful former player and coach. He's done nothing wrong, but he's no longer on that special level he once was on based on this move.
Chris and Ross played this song the other day and I have to agree the lyrics are kind of fitting about how Cyclone fans feel about Hoiberg: https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/garthbrooks/unansweredprayers.html
I still like Hoiberg and am grateful for everything he's done for ISU, but he had bigger dreams than coaching at ISU and left us. We have a guy that wants to be here for the long haul in Prohm and has had a fair amount of success already in 4 years here and I'll take the guy that wants the job and has represented us well than the guy who had it but wasn't satisfied enough to make it his dream job for the long haul.
If your spouse left you for another person and you got re-married then your ex's next marriage failed and they came crawling back would you take him/ back and dump your current spouse who has done nothing wrong and has been good and faithful to you? That's kind of how I feel about Fred right now. I wish him the best but I'm over him and happy with the coach we have now. Fred had his chance to coach at ISU for a LONG time but he threw that away for the NBA. If some day the ISU job comes open again for some reason and he wants to come back I'm open to it but I am not kicking a coach to the curb that just won 23 games and a conference tournament just to hire him back.

These are the worst kind of posts. Glad you are so enlightened and above it all, but then why the hell are you on an ISU sports message board bothering to post about things you are obviously too good to care about, GTFO then.
Could you imagine if Fred won a national title at Nebraska? People here would lose their ****ing minds!
