Prohm Hired As ISU MBB Head Coach

[Bestaluckcy]

@TravisHines21: Which I believe means Prohm's one of the two lowest-paid coaches in the Big 12.

A good Christian coach should not be all about the money:smile:

@franfraschilla: Already telling @sportsiren, Brent & ESPN crew that Big Mondays in Ames will still be great. @CoachProhm will be terrific there. All class.

Seems like a lot of people are on board with Prohm. I like it!

Has someone sent a welfare check on jsb?!

in a very girl move, I now feel sad for tj.

The hire is fine. I think I leaned a bit to little drew. I leaned a lot towards unnamed mystery candidate.

What I like about prohm so far is that he seems like Fred in his personality.

Don't be so quick to assume he stays, I actually don't expect him to stay as part of a mutual understanding. Prohm has no desire to have a backup QB that people always want to start if he doesn't have runaway success on day 1. Don't think TJ doesn't take it personally.

Put in Tiller!!

Leath was also asked if Iowa State offered the job to anyone else. That's when he said: "We got our guy." Didn't say for sure yes or no.

So who else did we offer?

I'm sold on the hire after this, thanks for the post.

Good to see they went cheap, again.

"What are they supposed to say?"

-Everyone on CF doubting claims of Fred, media, others on TJ's credentials

I'm so done with this type of stuff. If NN doesn't want to play for Iowa State....best of luck to him. If he doesn't want to learn behind the best point guard in America then go play for a mid-major. Maybe T.J. has every reason to be disgruntled maybe he doesn't, but quite frankly either **** or get off the pot. The last thing we need is having T.J. being bitter over this situation and trying to divide the locker room. This team has major things to accomplish, either get on board or GTFOH.

Well that's fine, but CBB isn't.

honestly I'd feel good if we made an offer with one mystery guy and he decided not to take it. Better to have tried

Unless they approached Hornacek or someone with a contract in hand, it would seem awfully fast (with interviews over the weekend) to offer and be rejected by anyone else..

Just go away.

NN is similar to the greek kid. I would love for both to come back next year. I would be surprised to see the greek kid back. NN I think stays but would completely understand if he doesn't want to come here anymore if TJ isn't here. His recruitment has been messed up from the start. NN needs to find somewhere where he feels comfortable and work hard. Anyone that has hard feelings about him needs to get a life. It is completely different from Williams.

I have no idea how to feel. He wasn't my first choice but his style fits our current team well. I am a wait and see person.

Gonna get behind him come November though. Go Cyclones!

You really suck at economics.

I would agree with that. If they were willing to spend the money and the prospective coach didn't take it, that's one thing. If you weren't willing to pony up the cash to make an actual splash hire, one that this program desperately needed from a national perspective after getting bailed on by Fred, then that is a major issue.

Then lets just assume it's the latter and move on. You aren't ever going to know the inner details anyway.

I know Jamie is traveling to get Coach Prohm but why is Leath talking to the media instead of Pollard?

Some excellent articles and tweets around the hire. Feeling better by the second.
