I love the options that 247 put out for the field. I'll take the field. TJ has a lot of good things to offer, but I don't think he's the hottest name on the list.
POLL: TJ or Field

Waddya mean? All legitimate coaching hire announcements come between 11 pm and 12 am local on a Monday night.
Gave me a good chuckle.
i think this is the article you are referring to. A lot of good options in the field. https://247sports.com/college/iowa-...e-Prohm-Cyclones-hoops-162293450/#162293450_6
Here is the deal with TJ. Nobody knows for certain whether or not he would be successful. Who can honestly say they were completely certain CMC would be this successful? Anyone who says they were certain is full of it. I just hope Pollard does his due diligence before making a decision. I trust he will and will fully support ISU’s next mens BB coach.
Tim wasn't a bad coach. Considering how tough that NU job is......he did fairly well. But back to ISU......unless JP opens up the checkbook and gets an Altman or a Matta....then Smith and Moser seem to be the best bets in the mid major category.
I'm just curious if Alabama only cares about Nick Saban and football, can they let us have Nate Oats so Steve Prohm can coach at his alma mater?
Matt Campbell was successful at Toledo. TJ is not successful at UNLV. Not trying to knock you but that’s not the greatest example. We should be hiring a coach that was successful at his previous destination. (The only exception I would make to that is Hoiberg because he proved he can win here)

Does he make as much as our football coach? Because that's what it will take to bring in some of the big names people have requested. We know Jamie isn't paying MBB more than Campbell.
Of course not. The point is JP was willing to pay up for a name coach when the wrestling program was in trouble. Hoping he has a similar mindset with this hire.
Like I responded to your previous post. He better think about paying up because like so many have said the last 6 seasons......the Big 12 isn't amateur hour.
He’s one of the highest paid coaches on base salary in the country. That is certainly opening it up, especially for a non-revenue sport
