    *** COACHING SEARCH THREAD: Wednesday, June 3 ***

    Keith Murphy asked him yesterday if Pollard and Co. came to him about increasing his salary at Iowa St and Fred said he wouldn't let them do it.

    *** COACHING SEARCH THREAD: Wednesday, June 3 ***

    My question for the Otz is the guy camp is what kind of connections has he made to hire a veteran assistant that has head coaching experience? Fred has so many contacts in the game that he was able to get a guy like Bobby Lutz to come to Ames. Morton or Richardson are not going to step down...

    WILLIAMS: And the coaching search begins...

    Prohm is going to place two guys in the NBA at Murray St of all places. That should speak volumes about his ability to evaluate and coach up talent. Winning 24 straight anywhere at the d1 level is impressive, don't care where it is

    WILLIAMS: And the coaching search begins...

    37 is definitely considered younger in the coaching profession. No doubt about that. But he became associate head coach from 10' to 13' at State and decided to take another assistant job on the west coast? Maybe he had this position circled the entire time, I don't know. But it sounds...

    WILLIAMS: And the coaching search begins...

    The thing I don't get about Otz is if he has all these intangibles to be a great coach why has stuck as an assistant for so long? Jumping to a power 5 conference team with a top 10 preseason ranking is unheard of. You can be bring in ajjwtgd great recruits you want, but if you can't get them...

    Also produced Isaiah "Sip" Cannon who is still in the league with Houston. I wouldn't be mad at that hire

    Did Prohm actually turn down Alabama or finish second to Avery Johnson? I read the latter

    Michigan Transfer Max Bielfeldt

    Returning Big 12 defensive player of the year and likely 1st team preseason All American is a solid start. Biefeldt would be a huge addition to that in my opion. Sounds like a team first guy that is willing to do the dirty work.

    Michigan Transfer Max Bielfeldt

    Haven't seen that, but could be true. Everyone ripping how Fred ruined recruiting next season should try living in the moment and letting the future play out. He left us with a loaded squad that can compete for a national title. Like many have pointed out on here, that is extremely rare...

    Would you take Fred back someday?

    In a heartbeat. Anyone that thinks otherwise is being completly selfish and jaded about this situation. I don't think he is coming back though mainly because he won't be a lifer in the coaching industry.

    Michigan Transfer Max Bielfeldt

    I'm not sure why everyone keeps considering Tsalmpouris gone? From what I have seen he seems to have a great relationship with everyone on the team and enjoyed his time in Ames. Going pro overseas might be too tempting, but I could see him returning next year for development and possible...

    Are you able to name the 4 coaches under consideration for the position?

    Hoiberg Watch 2015: Thursday, May 28 Thread

    The thing I don't get about Romar's statement is who told him Fred was thinking about heading to the NBA before next season? I assume it was TJ, but then Fred had to mention it to him personally. If so, the wheels have been spinning on this for quite some time. I'd rather not think about a...

    Official 2015 Hoiberg NBA Speculation Thread

    This makes the most sense to me and I believe is what will happen. Wouldn't be surprised if Carol and the kids stayed in Ames for the normalcy factor

    Where Do We Go Next?

    Recruiting would be the one major issue, but if TJ was hired to lead after this season then it really wouldn't be that big of an issue. I don't want to see that, but it could be the direction they're leaning right now because of that. And lets be honest here, Fred leaving is going to cause...

    Where Do We Go Next?

    He might have, but that was all behind the scenes stuff. How is his game management and in game adjustments when all eyes are on him? He knew he wasn't ready to be a head coach when he left ISU so he took a lateral to Washington. Not sure what changed in a couple of years to give people...

    Where Do We Go Next?

    I do not want the keys given to TJ for one simple reason, he will be leading one of the most talented rosters in the nation with ZERO head coaching experience. Fred came onboard and it was known there would be a grace period to turn things around. He ended up doing that much more quickly than...

    Damned if HE goes, Damned if HE stays

    The Wolves job is open. Flip Saunders is the team president and part owner, but decided to coach the team also going forward. This is not a long term solution and he will step down as soon as they find their man. In my opinion, this is just a holding pattern until Fred is ready to make the...

    Pollard's comments from today's Tailgate tour stop re: Hoiberg

    I get your point, but why should Pollard be that frustrated? Fred was upfront with him about his intentions to someday coach in the NBA from Day 1. JP isn't getting blindsided by this. He took a gamble on Fred to start with, reaped the benefits of that decision these last 5 seasons and is...
