Official 2015 Hoiberg NBA Speculation Thread

[Jacktronic]

Thanks, Jeremy. Appreciate the info.

However since it is so late in the coaching search for us, I don't think there are any options better for us in the 2015-16 campaign. Marshall seems committed to the Shockers, I'm not sure about Mark Jackson, and I'm not sold on JH. We may be best off with Hoiberg, but he is on a short leash this season considering what he is putting us through with all this uncertainty. Nobody is bigger than the program.

I've been posting a lot of info behind the curtain but it's just not stuff that can be made public to the larger audience. I will give a summary of some of it...

-No formal decision has been made.
-Coaches and players do not know anything other than rumors (talked to several 2 or 3 times today).
-Predicted we'd know a lot more within 24-36 hours (that was at 11am).
-None of the 4 known starters would be a flight risk.
-Other teams have inquired but Bulls are the main threat.
-The offer is for more than ISU could ever dream of paying, even though it isn't about the money.
-JP has done all he can, though I continue to hear scuttle about a lack of monetary outreach (JP knows Fred's reasons thus the lack of outreach).
-I continue to reiterate that TJ has not been promised the job, though he will be a top tier candidate, possibly even the favorite for various reasons.
-Many of the players committed to TJ and would honor that even if their father figure in Fred left, though 2016 and 2017 recruits are in flux.

Thanks... hope the "formal" decision" isn't a formality.

Pollard being at the DSM airport at 10:30pm should mean we'll know soon

I'd been pretty 50/50, but Pollard being at the airport at 10:30 on a tuesday night after missing the tailgate tour means something is going on

 

[cyclonefan1983]

We all have been fooled, Hoiberg to T-Wolves, guaranteed now!

With Minnesota locking up another #1 draft pick, there is only one coach they want to lead them in the future and it is Fred Hoiberg.

As much as people discounted the "source" that said it was a done deal and Pollard was in Atlanta looking for a replacement it isn't looking very bad with this info.

Unfortunately that doesn't tell us a whole lot because they could be connecting flights, and those 3 stops are big hubs. He could have been anywhere.

Fred recovering at his lake house in MN?

Yup

Sorry I don't have access to the FAA database to get you his direct flight plan.

 

[cyclones500]

Or levity, even. :wink:

I just read that in a Snagglepuss voice.

No need to get defensive. I live in AZ and those are common places for me to fly through when I head home. Maybe he was down here talking to Hornacek. It's all speculation. One could come up with all sorts of scenarios based on those 3 locations.

Also that wasn't meant to discredit you, but merely stating more info. We're all a little on edge right now.

Dear Fred,

Not sure how credible this is but this guy is a DM attorney:

Mark Hinshaw ‏@LawOfficesofMRH 4m4 minutes ago Fred Hoiberg is gone. ISU AD just returned from Atlanta where Iowa State coaching search firm Parker Executive Search is located.

His website is hawkeyedivorce, so it's probably just a BS hok fan. Never mind.

Yup, just heard the same thing too. Not good.

 

[Dandy]

I just saw Fred at the Royals game. He said he is waiting until game is over to make decision.

You were at the Royals game tonight too?!

 

[cyclonefan1983]

Why do we need a coaching search firm, some of us so called experts on Cyclone Fanatic have Otz as the next head coach.
