hindsight is 20/20 but with it being that late they should of let TJ do it on a one year interim basis since that team could coach itself. Then Jamie could have looked for the right coach instead of rushing it. Water under the bridge now
What to do with Coach Prohm Poll..
- Thread starter ClonesTwenty1
- Start date
Right now. And for the past couple years. I thought Prohm did a decent job the first couple years. Im sure i was critical of his handling of dpoy McKay, but some of that might be new coach, new rules, where Jameel didn't adapt.
Prohm maybe didnt build on the success, but he maintained it for 2 years, and then fell hard. Failed to fill the gaps hoiberg left. Rebuilt a great roster the year later, and shat the bed with them other than one weekend at the big 12 tourney. Since then we have been absolutely awful. Even when having NBA talent our offense is stagnant, we continually kill our own momentem, and struggle to inbound the ball.
Could Prohm turn things around given enough time? Maybe. But basically no program anywhere puts up with this level of results for this long.
when your spouse is miffed that you’re not as present as you should be with little kids and doesn’t like Ames it takes its toll. Stressful home life coupled with a really bad team = brutal. And this was all last year! It was discussed last January how the job has taken its toll on him and with wife unhappy it just makes it worse. Given how it LOOKS this season will play out I think he leaves on his own accord. If Covid didn’t happen I think there was a chance of that last year.
He has a stressful home and unhappy wife? How do you know that?
i just told you that was the rumor a year ago from a couple of donors.
No way does WSU make that move. That’s a top level non-P6 job with the money and facilities they have. And to hire a guy that took over a Top 5 team and consistent NCAA tournament team and cratered it into the basement of the Big 12? How do you sell that to fans?
We said the same thing about Creighton and McD and, well, it happened.
Wichita State has Prohm's old AD and his coaching mentor already on staff.
why string them along? Because the men’s tournament funds the entire ncaa, schools need the money. Moving the tournament to 33 teams, what does that accomplish other than taking money from schools that desperately need it and ruining the tournament.
Some people never gave him a chance. The people leaking this aren't those people because they aren't in the know.
I mostly agree but with what they just went through, who knows. In FB we saw Nebraska go with Mike Riley after they fired Pelini, that was a deliberate attempt to bring in a "nice" guy because people didn't like Pelini's demeanor. That's stretch in this situation but it's honestly the only reason beyond the personal ties Prohm has that explains why they would make this move.
WS has a culture problem with a former coach who was alleged to have physically abused at least one player...I can tell you right now, Prohm is the immediate fix for that and shows a commitment to culture shift. That's the world we live in now...so this wouldn't surprise me based on the current situation. Remember, the reflection on the coach is also a reflection on the school that allowed it to happen under its watch. More than one person is looking to save face in that institution.

Sure, there are always exceptions to the rule but in most cases (99%?) someone with proven success is hired for a new role. And it's not like Mike Riley was god awful at Oregon State like Prohm has been at ISU the past 2 years. He had demonstrated success at a tough place like Oregon State.
I'll say that I HOPE the take Prohm off our hands but if I'm a WSU fan and that happens, I am beyond pissed at a Steve Prohm hire.
So there are two factions using "poor form". Okay. I seem to remember that's how we ended up with GMAC i.e. SIDS and this site. People can say what they want about Wayne Morgan and Steve Prohm......but they both have proved/proven they can win at ISU. We don't need another lovable loser like GMAC just because they are really swell guys chalked full of integrity. Oh.....and full of excuses(Steve Prohm)why they just can't succeed at ISU. Seen that movie before......no thank you.
I'm nitpicking here, but hasnt GMAC had recruiting violations that an assistant coach took the fall for?
