It's unfair to TJ, but the petty part of me hopes he doesn't get hired so that we can all watch CyLyte throw a virtual tantrum and point and laugh at him with how obnoxious and unpleasant he is.
I hope we don't because I don't want bad basketball

If Jamie went so far out of his way to say we have to be “creative” financially and no one is paying for it, it better not be TJ. There are far better options with far smaller price tags.

Ideally, financial creativity would be a contract that may be lower, but includes heavy incentives to win.

JP has shown he’s willing to pay for performance. See Campbell’s numerous raises, and paying a relatively (to wrestling) high amount to Dresser.

Ridiculous.

You think UNLV is going to make us pay 3 million when I bet they anticipate firing him next year?

I was being hyperbolic with the paying us. But we shouldn’t pay the buyout. But maybe albaugh wants to throw money away. I don’t know his life.

Who's most willing to accept "creative financing"? Someone who's got personal ties to the University and wants to be here.

Cause the discussion is always about TJ. I want Fred. Everybody else is pretty much the same. Thankfully I couldn't insult you much.

Again. Bullsh!t.

Dennis Gates name is brought up. You; "He sucks! I've never heard of him! Why would we hire him when we already have a candidate that we know!??!"

Jerome Tang. You; "He sucks! He's been an assistant for 18 years! Waaahhh!"

Unpleasant and obnoxious to the core. I really hope it's just an act.

Here we go again. UNLV is planning on firing TJ next year?

He’s been a real **** for years on rivals.

I don't understand all of these people not wanting TJ but desperately wanting Fred. TJ has been much better post ISU than Fred. Fred only won 7 games this season, what makes you all think he can still get it done? Plus Fred doesn't want to be at ISU
I think people that want Fred want him because he was incredibly successful at Iowa State. He's already shown he can win at Iowa State. That doesn't mean it's guaranteed he'd win again, but he's proven more than any possible candidate out there.

I’d bet on it. When they hired him they said it was a win now program. He has not won. They have an over inflated opinion of themselves.

He's one year removed from a second place finish in the conference. He's doing just fine. How much are you willing to bet?

We will never know. But I have heard they are willing to forget the buyout.
