If Fred was seriously considering leaving, why would he let the cat out of the bag now, while he was trying to fill out his roster?
Him telling TJ, then TJ telling Romar doesn't add up for me. I think he would have kept things a little more close.

Reality is that only a tiny fraction of coaches could say with honesty that they will stay at their school as long as they are welcome. We are so used to seeing Saban, Chiz, Petrino blatantly lie about being firmly entrenched, having their agent float their name for jobs they aren't interested in to get a raise, etc. that when someone is actually honest we think the worst. Fred says he is uncertain about the future because like every other coach it is true. Unlike most every other coach he isn't going to tell you otherwise to make you feel better.
Not saying you're lying but I can't think of any situation where Fred isn't the head coach of ISU in 2015-16. Just doesn't make any sense to me.
This is an MMR thread.
I tried to read it. Got 8 pages in, but then I bailed because I was afraid that actually READING it would give me autism.

So, are we to the point then that the Bulls position is Fred's dream job? Because otherwise he can leave for the NBA whenever he wants. And why not stay for at least one more season with the core that we have returning. I can see Hoiberg leaving next year. This year? Seems highly unlikely.
And that TJ would be a 'coach in waiting' seems to undervalue our position of a school that could attract better candidates than someone that likely wasn't going to get the head spot at a school like Green Bay.

I can't believe this whole thing has blown up over people believing TJ is going to be the next ISU coach. I could maybe see if it were still the McD era, but the position this program is in now, if TJ is the hand picked guy, count me out. Especially if we aren't bothering to interview anyone else for the job.
This probably isn't #1 on a lot of coaches lists, but with the talent we have coming in next year, it surely would be attractive to anyone not UNC, Duke, Kentucky or Kansas. That's why I honestly can't believe this thread still has legs. I would think the more likely scenario would be, if there is one, that TJ came back because Fred is offering him an assistant job with him and the Bulls then.
In the end, I've chalked most of this up to a lot of Cyclone fans waking up in the morning and waiting for tat meteor to come crashing through their roof.

Same. Now I'm pulling for Thibodeau and the Bulls to make it far in the playoffs.
I don't know who you are hearing this from, but it is 1000% b.s. You need to get new sources because the ones you have are trolling you.
So you've heard differently? Sources as well? (Tone meant to be actually inquiring, not sarcastic). Cyclone07 has come out before with information that turned out to be correct.
Fred is laid up until July, and he probably won't be 100% then. To me, that's why I don't see him taking a NBA job this year. Even moreso than the returning roster.
Next year would surprise me much less.
