Watch what you say! Someday this thread will resurface and some will look like fools.

Wow! I go to bed for a good night's sleep and BAM wake up to 42 pages in less than 12 hours. How can anyone wade through so much? ... just to catch up. I'd love to hear a 'summary' of what's transpired.

There are reports of TJ going to ISU.

And Marcus Fizer has a Twitter account.

Ok! I was wrong. TJ took a team with nothing and became a National power. My mistake!

I mean does everything have to be so dramatic?

 

[cyfanatic13]

If it is TJ, I am going to be supportive as I think he has the potential to be a great fit. Some of you pouting like little babies is a tough look

I must admit your stamina is impressive.

 

[WhoISthis]

there’s a bunch of ******* coaching savants on this board. EVERYONE knows a good “X’s and O’s“ coach when they see one because they rode bench on their Varsity HS team as a Senior.

False authority ***** is back!

If you think this search started after prohm was fired. You are the dumbest human being on planet earth... Major donors wanted a change after last year. I bet this has been at least a 1-2 month long due diligence process

I'd bet the ball started rolling at least a little after that NYE loss last season. Maybe not an actual search like contacting coaches but looking at results, games etc.

Lol, woke up and pulled up this thread and it's just people analyzing the Pollard video for clues like it's the Zapruder Film.

I’ll meet you in the middle. TJ stepped into a head coaching job that already had a great player on the roster. He led SDSU to two straight NCAA births before losing in the conference tournament in his 3rd year which knocked them out.

I mean does everything have to be so dramatic?

Yep. And he is obviously clairvoyant and can see the future. He already knows TJ will be awful before he even signs the Contract.

 

[WhoISthis]

I suspect the people most excited about this hire and ******** about the people that aren't, will be the first ones calling on him to be fired when he loses a few games.

Didn’t you hear Jamie? It’ll be a long rebuild.

If it is a long rebuild, Jamie hired the wrong guy, and this should be Jamie’s last basketball hire

On the way to "work" this morning my wife called me...

Wife-"Hey they hired TJ. It's all over the news in Las Vegas. Why are people shitting all over this?!?"

Me-"Why do you care what overs think."

If true, I love the hire! It will be important for TJ to have a solid staff for long term success!

Bottom line...WINNING cures boo boo face.

P.S. No matter who the coach is....I WANT MY CYCLONES TO WIN!

we can hope

She!

I’ve said repeatedly that I don’t know how he’ll do here. I’ve said that I’m laying the groundwork for my posts to be revisited for years.

But I have been honest that because I’m not best friends with TJ, I do not see the appeal.

So much passion in this thread.

Is passion the right word?

 

[AuH2O]

While I suspect it's TJ with all the smoke, let's not forget the Brian Kelly situation. Also, when we hired Chiz my former boss, who was a donor and claimed to be tight with JP came in and said that Harbaugh was all but a done deal.

Maybe JP floats rumors just to watch the meltdown in the fanbase as a hobby. He only gets so many coaching hires, so he better enjoy the meltdowns when he gets the chance.

If it's TJ, so be it. Let's get a cheap deal done and get him up to visit Hunter, get him here to get good with JCL, Bolton and Foster and get the hope train out of the station. Unfortunately TJ doesn't warrant a hype train, but I will have hope.

 

[isutrevman]

So is this confirmed yet? KCCI headline says TJ to replace Prohm but then the article says COULD replace Prohm.

Journalism 101. Make sure the headline doesn't actually match what the facts are in the article.

Pollard is a real piece of work. He plays Iowa State fans as loyal, mindless sons with always open wallets and gets away with it. He must have balls the size of a basketball.

 

[Cymon]

Some of you guys trashing Pollard must not have lived through the Van De Velde years.
