Steve Prohm releases statement

Seems like back in the day the next coach usually purchased the old coaches house since they were basically the only person in the market that could afford that house. I think Ames now has a bunch of people that can afford that price range.
One of the most expensive homes in Phoenix is owned by an ASU professor. Those of you that think professors don't make a lot don't know reality. They have more side deals than coaches and they don't need to report them.

For some reason I was thinking Prohm bought Fred’s.

I was always under the impression that coaches were probably gifted houses (or given a nice discount) by the athletic department as a part of bringing them on. They’d be given a few options and allowed to pick one. Maybe I’m way off base there?

It would be funny if TJ bought Prohm's. There is almost nothing in that price range.

I always think coaches buying a $1,000,000 house is excessive, until I realize they could probably pay the entire house off with a year's salary even after taxes.

And from my understanding professors now days don’t even teach the class like they used to do. They have some grad student or some crap do it

Idk how common it is but I remember Greg Schiano had a deal at Rutgers the first time around where they sold him land owned by the university interest free to build a home.
 
As it became obvious we had to move on, I started asking myself if I’d rather have a really good dude like Prohm but totally suck, or an asshat like Mad and be mired in mediocrity most of the time. I haven’t really answered my own question. I know I’d be embarrassed to have a coach like Fran though.

That is a good question to ponder. I do know it would have to be embarrassing to cheer for a guy like Rick Pitino (the dad) if he were the leader of our program!

I wouldn't put up with a coach that acts like Fran unless it was getting Bill Self results

TJ lived in Ankeny last time I thought.

Interesting discussion over there.

"He was 9-9 in the conf his 4 th year. Looking at the numbers compared to Hoibert, if I spelled that right. No comparison at all".

"I have no idea here completely guessing but I bet he does what his wife wants him to do next".
“Hoibert”lol. We think he’s a god but pretty much everybody else is WGAF.

Interesting that less than a week after getting fired he was back in Murray.

Most successful, white collar workers are living in Ankeny versus Ames despite their employment being in Ames. Housing inventory is soo much better as Ames doesn't believe in growth

Moved to Ankeny a few years ago while still working up in Ames. Looked up there first, but didn’t think I would get a good value at the prices in town.

Got a good place in Ankeny and don’t regret it. Also ended up taking a new job in DSM so it worked out well.
