What to do with Coach Prohm Poll..
- Thread starter ClonesTwenty1
- Start date
Many people thought this class was great because of the ranking. Which it got because there were 4 guys in it.
Depending on the budget situation for the athletic dept, you let him finish the contract. You don’t take money to get rid of him at the expense of potentially losing Matt Campbell.
I have no idea what the answer will be. But I know what it SHOULD be. If you watch this team this year and last, it’s obvious. There is no identity, no plan, no intensity, no high basketball IQ, no rebounding, and we’ve set programs records for how bad we’ve been. No one, not even Jamie Pollard, can look at this objectively and say this is going well nor can anyone see a grand vision of getting better.
Steve Prohm inherited a Top 5 team and borderline Top 15 program over the last half of a decade and cratered it into the worst team in the conference and one of the worst in all P6 conferences. That doesn’t deserve a 7th year. But he won’t be fired mid season and Pollard’s history with a long leash, he may be back for another bottom of the conference finish next year.

To the people saying “there is no money” to fire him. That may be true but if you let this go another 1.5-2.5 years, Iowa State basically will be dead and buried. If you care about basketball, you find the money.
How would this year's team fare against the last few year's bad ISU teams? It's early, yes, but I think poorly
Hard to argue with any of this. In watching the first half last night (I went to bed at halftime, thank heaven) it occurred to me that these players have absolutely no idea of what they are supposed to do. (Possible exception to Harris, who is a decent defender.) I have never seen such a disorganized, chaotic bunch of people on offense. I understand that this season has been disruptive, but there were signs of this already last year.
To me, this is a reflection on coaching.....and no amount of time outs will change it. Players play the way they practice. I've never been to one of Prohm's practices, but I'd bet they look a great deal like what we saw last night. And I don't care if I ever see anything like that in JHHC again.
I think he’ll finish this year and next at least, that’s the only realistic option... and it’s not included in this stupid poll.
Send his ass packing. No more excuses. Hit up the donor base and get the money if that is what it takes.
JP gave a turd too much time and money. AKA made a horrible investment a couple years ago. His athletic department needs to fix it. I don’t care how they do it. Sitting on your hands and doing nothing isn’t really acceptable from JP or CSP but that is all either is doing. Nothing just letting time pass.
That’s on you, hype bro. Blackwell and Walker were outside of the Top 125. Dubar maybe as well. Cant count on those guys to come in right away and be dogs.
I was always team TJ. Don't get me wrong, I have always wanted Prohm to succeed, but I have just always thought TJ was a better fit and was definitely being groomed to take over for Fred.
