JP is getting the heck out of Dodge before he puts out the press release stating we are replacing the coach that was our one peek into national prominence with an assistant who has never run a program before.

Get a grip. Only bluebloods don't lose coaches. You know what Fred and his family know about ISU MBB? That him leaving will be overcome. That every coach except one in the past 30 years has had success, with 4 of the past 5 reaching the second round by Year 2.
The story of Fred Hoiberg having success as coach of ISU cannot be matched, the success can be.
So all Gene Chizik would have had to have said is Auburn was his dream job from day 1?
The perfect description for CF right now:

Would have had to have said...that's quite the tongue twister
I don't rehash anything about that limp dic k Gene Chizik, sorry.
I bet part of Fred's desire to coach in the NBA is bc his playing days in the NBA were cut short
Those that praised Fred like a god want to believe different. He was a great player at Iowa St for 4 years, then took over a program that was a complete dumpster fire, and made it great again. He doesn't owe you or anyone else anything. So don't act like he **** all over the university.

He played longer in the NBA than in college, so I vote that he sticks around Ames for awhile longer.

This is exactly what the WRNL article that got everyone so riled up was saying, IMO. Fred's just another coach, and we were just another job on the way to something better. Everyone wanted him to be something different, and we all let our selves believe he was something different, but he's not.
Doesn't mean he's a villain or anything, he just wasn't a die hard ISU over everything fan like one of us. And we all thought he was.
President Johnson famously called his pants tailor complaining that the crotch was too tight and asked for me room from the balls to the bunghole.
good part starts at 1:50 but the whole thing is gold

the bottom line is, Fred treated ISU like any other school, just like any other job. There should be no problem with ISU fans treating him like any other coach. I dont' hate the guy, its just the nature of the job.
Well, if this quote doesn't say "dream job" I don't know what does:
“I’d love to end my career here,†Hoiberg said in a phone interview with the Ames Tribune. “I’ve got something special in Ames. My kids get to see their grandparents every day if they want to, and that’s stuff you can’t replace. To look up in the crowd (during games) and there’s my parents, my in-laws, my brother, my sister-in-law, my other brother drives over from Omaha a lot, just to have that family support, you can’t replace that.“I’m very happy here. My kids love it. I’d love to spend the rest of my career here.†- See more at: http://amestrib.com/sports/men-s-basketball-hoiberg-gets-raise-isu#sthash.0UeZ0tym.dpuf
That quote is what will leave a bitter taste in people's mouth, and why the media should stop pretending to be shocked that any ISU fan would be upset at Fred. If he had left after 8 or 10 years, then that would be a completely different scenario.
