Re: REPORT: Alvin Gentry, not Fred Hoiberg, favorite to replace Tom Thibodeau

Nothing sells Iowa State to recruits like an interim coach.

Interim coaches are named if you coach leaves during the season.... That isn't happening.

Re: BLUM: The Mayor's dilemma

JSB was the other one who pretty much agreed with me back in that Lorenzo thread on all the pieces put together showing Fred on his way out....and he/she was also blasted......wish every yard was around to chime in on that thread too

Has he had a press conference where he could have shot down these rumors? Didn't think so. Just let the guy recover.

Dont need a press conference just a tweet. NBA talk is one thing. This is WAY beyond that and has torpedoed our recruiting now so at this point it's hurting the program. No way the Mayor would do that if he wasn't jumping ship. No way. As much as I love Hoiberg, I love the program more. It's time to put this thing to bed and move on. Yes or No.

​

If #Bulls make coaching change, Fred Hoiberg WOULD accept the job if it were offered, a source who spoke to Hoiberg told me this morning.

So, for 4 hours, is he the only guy who has talked to the source? Nah. I will now disregard it.

Looks like he took a chance on the story and now he is going to lose a ton of credibility as no one confirmed it.

When dust settles, still maybe another grad transfer to come in....but who knows, team will be great next year regardless and that will appeal to the right guy, even without Fred....but likely no one WILL commit until we announce who the coach will be ( and most expect it is TJ)

Also used when you are going to hire a guy you know people won't be behind right away but will smokescreen them with a good season due to returning players so that you can name him head coach as planned a year later with less criticism.

Re: BLUM: The Mayor's dilemma

Local sports anchor up here in Sioux City reported at 6 tonight that JP "may not be in Sioux City tomorrow with the tailgate tour due to dealing with the Fred Hoiberg situation". Ugh....

Already hired him to a one year deal.

Could already be working on a 5 yr extension.

just no. You're overthinking it.

Re: WHAT DOES THIS TWEET MEAN?

"100 things" What the hell does that mean??
Is that code for something?? I'm so confused.....

Actually 100 could mean 5 things in binary.

I did. I brought up the dinner and the fact that Paige is not fulfilling her "dream to go to ISU" and the Otz situation but no one liked it. Whatever. This thing has been going on a lot longer than people think and I am not sure it's not part of the reason we weren't ready for UAB.

Re: REPORT: Alvin Gentry, not Fred Hoiberg, favorite to replace Tom Thibodeau

just no. You're overthinking it.

Are you still holding out that this isn't happening? I think you were one of the ones bashing me and JSB back in the Lorenzo thread when we predicted all of this....

Re: REPORT: Alvin Gentry, not Fred Hoiberg, favorite to replace Tom Thibodeau

just no. You're overthinking it.

God, the people that don't see that Otz was brought in as a head coach or at least an insurance policy for stability are blind.

Thats right. I remember the Paige call out....and you may be right...add in BDJ and his BS and that gm would have become lot more difficult than it ever should have been

Good teammates share. #brosbeforehoes

Do not forge tweets, it won't be tolerated.

Re: BLUM: The Mayor's dilemma

Well this could be depressing.
Not sure if it's better or worse that it likely drags out until mid June.
Fred won't tip his hat that he's leaving because that then screws the Bulls/his new team out of possibly dealing Thibs.


If this drags on long enough I wonder if TJ will get an interim title and a one year trial period.

haha. damn.
I swear I've only skimmed the last couple paged and didn't see interim mentioned.
Just needed to talk out some sad feels.:sad:
