We need a time machine to go back to 1991 and tell Fred to go play for Lute, then we wouldn't be in this mess

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.

THIS!

I was digging up old quotes too. I was thinking what the hell!? I can see if he had won the Big 12 and ended KU's streak OR at minimum a Final Four appearance. He hasn't accomplished even close to what I'm sure his goals were at ISU. So to leave before he does those things (especially when we are poised this year to really challenge for titles) is what has me questioning HIS loyalty to ISU. He seems like such a down to earth, humble, loyal guy. I can't believe he'd jump ship now.

Fred does owe Iowa State 8 more years of coaching from his 10 yr contract. I get they don't always work out but after signing that and saying how much this job meant he leaves after 2 yrs and losing to UAB?

That quote was from April 2014. The question that bugs me is: what changed his mind? The BDJ circus show? Sooner-than-expected heart surgery? The first taste of failure in the NCAA tournament? Probably all of those things together. Whatever the case, he made a big 180 in the past year to be willing to leave before the Niang-McKay-Long senior year.

I imagine that as a CF community we are going through the 7 stages of grief. Anyone have any clue what stage we are in?

Given the number of people who insist we should be happy for Fred, I would say solidly in the denial stage still.

Don't everyone attack me at once but I just got a text: "Supposedly it's coming out today."

Considering Jeremy, and others have said this it isn't exactly groundbreaking. Nice try at redemption though. I think people would be shocked if it didn't. Why you would listen to someone that fed you completly wrong info is beyond me, I would reply to him: no **** sherlock.

The Bulls
 
Maybe he will have a hard time selling his house and will have no choice but to come back next year
 
If he leaves, it will be the fault of all of us who were on our message boards instead of staking out like this guy:

There should be stake outs at the airport, his house, Hilton and the Practice Facility, and "Fred Don't Go" banners at all highway ramps. No excuses!!!

Dandy wasn't wrong. He might have misinformed about all the players knowing but he was right about everything else

Amazing. Simple statements seem to confuse you. He knows what his leaving would mean to Cyclone nation, that's not even up for debate.

I don't care he follows his real dream. But because he, and his wife, completely understand the situation, playing it out like this doesn't reflect well on him.

Just go if you're going. But when you drive across 80 watch out for the giant semen cloud over iowa city.

You are struggling. Take your pills to clear your depression and hopefully your comprehension improves.

Fred clearly knows and respects the program much greater than you. He knows the program will be fine even with him taking a couple weeks to decide to leave.
 
The news will be broke today. The weather is getting us prepared.

Farmers can't be in the fields so they will be able to drink their sorrows away.

Into the rabbit hole we go my friends.
