Hang that "Proper Search" banner high in the rafters of Hilton! I could care less how the search was conducted if the search produces the wrong guy.
Were there any Cyclone message boards in existance when Floyd was hired over Hallihan? I know on campus at the time, the students generally favored him.
I'm happy with the hire, especially if he keeps TJ or gets a good recruiter. Now what I don't understand is everyone ******* melting down. ISU fans are known and yet here we are giving this guy crap before he has even started? What the hell is wrong with some of you?
As far as "Gmac 2.0" - none of you know that. If anything, he's like Ben Jacobson. You see, Prohm was an assistant at Murray State as they were doing well. Their coach, Kennedy, went to Texas A&M. Prohm was named HC and the success continued under him. The same thing happened with Ben Jacobson at UNI. So if you want to use some sort of analogy, he's not Greg McDermott - he's Ben Jacobson.

Man this thread is reminding me a lot of "Fran McCaffrey announced as Iowa coach" thread on HN.com a few years back.
No, some of us just saw what happened when he left the first time. Hint: What happened was we got no HS commitments from the US who are still here.
*waits for updates from Phog.net and HawkeyeNation.
General consensus at phog.net is they think its a good hire too.
Also, Welcome aboard Coach Prohm! I hope we don't have to write nasty things about you on our message board in the future! :smile:
This is going to sound silly/stupid from me, but I feel bad for TJ if he was led to believe the job was his. Of course, if he wasn't led to believe that then it sucks but it is the way the cookie crumbles.
What I hope is that Prohm hit the interview out of the park and made Jamie pick him over TJ.
Hopefully not to Marquette, MN, Iowa, or Nebby. Or we will somehow get LESS players than we already have been getting the past couple of years. Also...bye bye NN...and back to if we don't make the Final Four this year the next couple of years will be bleak.

AWESOME
He seems to have a boatload of energy, and hopefully a lot of that goes towards recruiting (we'll need it!). I'm ecstatic to have a guy who seems like he'll prioritize recruiting, especially since it sounds like Fred wasn't too keen on that aspect of the game (from his post-departure comments). A coach who starts phoning it in on the recruiting trail is a dangerous thing.

I don't either. I guess people just started to accept TJ as the coach and now they think we need him to win.
