STANZ: Coaching Search Hot Board 1.0

[JStanz51]

Iowa State University athletic director Jamie Pollard speaks at a news conference on Sept. 24, 2019 in Ames to address reports of violence by fans directed at Iowa Hawkeye Band members after the season’s Iowa-Iowa State football game on Sept. 14.



Iowa State is officially in search of a new men’s basketball coach.



It was announced on Monday that Steve Prohm and the school have elected to part ways after six seasons. Pollard has now turned his attention toward finding a new man for the job and will meet with the media on Tuesday.



I’ve compiled this list of potential candidates by talking to people I know in the game of basketball, brainstorming with some of the smartest basketball people I know and talking with people inside the industry of covering coaching searches. I expect it to be a list that remains fluid throughout the search and will update it as needed so keep in mind this is simply version 1.0.



But, I want to note, I’m obviously not Jamie Pollard and...

Team Fred.

I’ll take Craig Smith. I think he’d be great at ISU and it would be great to see his system stacked up against the handful of Hall of Fame coaches in our league.

Lock’em up JP!

Team Fred.

Man I wish. I just don’t think it’ll happen. That rumor has lost some steam over the last few weeks.

 

[Drew0311]

Fred, Cleveland state coach or Craig Smith. Probably get TJ and I’ll support him like I did Prohm. Like I have all coaches at Iowa state

 

[jsb]

Team Fred.

You need to get this going again. The most fun I’ve had on here the last few weeks were the fights about Fred.

Frankly the TJ fights are not nearly as fun.

 

[cmjh10]

Give me Fred, or just shut down the basketball program and start baseball.

Man I wish. I just don’t think it’ll happen. That rumor has lost some steam over the last few weeks.

There’s about 15 million reasons it’s more or less unworkable.

 

[Aduhbolu15]

Matta,beilein or Altman please need a coach with March success. TJ can’t even win at UNLV and y’all want him smh

 

[tim_redd]

let me mayor coach

Y’all right.

never got to the 'steam' level, imo

 

[Drew0311]

let me mayor coach

That is the only reason I would hate if Fred was coach. People saying that. It’s so annoying

Not a ton on here have said they want him, but he and Pollard sure as heck deserve our support as we try to move forward. Loyal sons forever true.

 

[Drew0311]

I would take Tang in a heartbeat. Does Fran know something

 

[Thomasrickj]

No clue who we go after here. It likely won’t be Hoiball, but weirder things have happened. This program just doesn’t have the same name anymore as it did six years ago when we had Fred, so I’m not expecting a huge home run hire.

 

[Gunnerclone]

I’d prefer Tang over any of the non-TJ mid major disasters waiting to happen.

 

[Aduhbolu15]

Not a ton on here have said they want him, but he and Pollard sure as heck deserve our support as we try to move forward. Loyal sons forever true.

But there is currently a poll on here that says TJ or the field

 

[madguy30]

And you know Fran F. wants some ISU success so let's go with what he's saying.
