I think JP will talk Steve into hiring a moving company long before expecting an assistant coach change resulting in "positive buzz".

I think Shaka is one of the most overrated coaches of the last decade. And I don't think that's even a hot take.I would love someone with the energy Shaka Smart brings to his team. He is so engaged in his team playing Tech right now.
JamieI always felt Leath hired Prohm, Prohm just isn’t pollards style...hard to think the same guy that hired Fred hired this guy.
but Jaime did the extension, that’s on him
not sure if Bama was real or not, but if it was Jaime should have let him go, basketball people knew steve was not going to work here well before then, there were many many red flags...and he could have given him a token contract instead of this insane contract he has now
nobody has done more in my lifetime for Iowa state than Jaime pollard, I love the guy, but that was a horrific mistake
that decision will really tarnish Jaime unless he strikes gold with the next coach, and honestly, I’m not sure I love him picking the next basketball coach after that extension...too bad for both parties
If you want to get rid of Prohm, suggest a replacement we could currently get who is better. Or shut up.

There are many coaches out there better than Prohm, I was just watching the TT/UT game, I had forgotten what it is like to watch good basketball.If you want to get rid of Prohm, suggest a replacement we could currently get who is better. Or shut up.
Might be true, but im sure you can find all sorts of big 12 coaches talking about how great Prohm is just after kicking our teeth in. Coach speak is a thing.I thought I read a while back that Fred recommended him. Prohm had called Hoiberg and asked if they could discuss offense, knowing they'd never compete.
Yeah I agree but I do like his energyI think Shaka is one of the most overrated coaches of the last decade. And I don't think that's even a hot take.
No it hasn't- it has gotten easier to get transfers now more than ever before. There are more of them and the odds of getting a good player has gone up. Yeah, no more Royce White's out there but there are a ton of Chris Allen's, Chris and Nick Babb and others to be had and Fred has gotten his share already. It may be just as easy to get a decent transfer as it is a HS player. Also have to consider how lousy it is to recruit to Nebraska. Worst P6 program ever? It is up for discussionsure but there’s a difference between competing in the big 10 west and the big 12. Fred will get them competing but the route he takes to obtain talent has gotten much tougher since more people are taking it. It will be interesting to see how the next couple years goes for him.
We could hire a good number of coaches to finish 9th or 10th in the conference 3 out of 4 years with his guys. We could hire anyone to not have a single winning record in conference play without Hoiberg's guys. Where do you want to start?If you want to get rid of Prohm, suggest a replacement we could currently get who is better. Or shut up.
We heard on the Blum/C dub quarantine pod this past week that ISU has not been as horrible as we think defensively in conference play. I say if it ain't broke don't fix it. Double down on the other side of the ball and bring in the Grinnell coach, let some of his players come over as walk-ons. That would fix our offense in a hurry.
Pay the $5M and be done with it. I’m just worried about who Pollard would pick to replace him with.
Yes his 0-5 big Ten record would make for a pretty even trade. His time is done, everyone does the things he did now with tempos pacing and transfers. Otz not looking very good either. Who you realistically going to get? Finances and lack of good candidates is why Prohm has one more year to right the ship. A defensive/rebounding guru for an assistant would help.
