This is why Prohm must go........

[Clonefan32]

After having sometime to sleep on it and let my buzz wear off I think my tone has lightened a little bit. In hindsight, it may have been a little harsh to suggest the locks to Prohm's office be immediately changed. We should at least allow him to go in and get his stuff first.

Looks like JP backed the wrong pony last year when he could have had Fred and Prohm pushed him for an extension.

Fred said he would come back??? That ship sailed when he wanted to leave Ames for the Gophers.

I find it amusing people still pine for Fred, he's made it widely known he has no desire to be in Ames. It's time to move on from thoughts of him. He went to coach BASKETBALL at Nebraska of all places, that should tell you all you need to know about him wanting to be in Ames.

Whomever our next coach is I hope JP puts in a "can be fired for cause and any buyout forfeited in the event of a home loss to a MEAC school" clause.

JP the accountant will not fire Prohm after the season. We can only hope there is another Creighton out there that surfaces after Jamie has the 'best interest of both parties' conversation.

I assume it's up to the donors to push, else will take years of giving prohm a chance

I assume one good option would be to hire a consultant to fully evaluate the situation and make recommendations. Not sure we would ever know, but is that done?

I don't think there is much chance of Pollard hiring Fred back, especially if Otz has a decent year at UNLV. Pollard and Otz are very close and don't forget that Pollard at least though Otz was a strong candidate (or outright wanted to hire him) back in 2015.

My guess is Prohm will be here for the 20-21 season, and that would be the first real "warm seat" season for him. The seat would turn hot pretty quickly if both this year and next year are like 17-18.

The fact these complete trash teams can walk out of Hilton with a win is a joke. Fire this loser.

Who is a realistic option for ISU to hire if they fire CSP?

Iowa State pays Jamie good money to fully evaluate the situation.

If his seat isn't a little warm right now then there needs to be real questions directed at JP.

In business, it's common to hire consulting firms to take an objective look.

go back and watch it again. FAM players are all diving after loose balls and long rebounds while our guys watch.

This is the worst part. There is an opening for this team to be respectable if they played tough. It's like it doesn't matter to them

 

[ruflosn]

I couldn’t believe the number of people that thought he did a good job last year. It definitely was eye opening that everyone sees the game differently I guess.

ISU won the B12 tournament championship. He must be doing some good.

I see we’re back to these type of posts, just like when people wanted Paul Rhoads gone

Gregg Marshall
Travis Steele
Lavall Jordan
Craig Smith

Yes his team did get hot for 3 days. A 3 game win streak for him is getting rarer and rarer all the time.

9-9 in a pretty weak B12 tells us more.

What do you see as a consistent identity in CSP's program?

What do you think he's doing well now?

Whenever the time comes, I hope JP now has a close basketball confidant. Someone that can make him look at more than just “fit” at Sunday dinner.

Whether it's coaching, good recruiting, or lucky recruiting the defining feature of Prohm at ISU and Murray is elite point guard play. Beyond that who knows. He has most likely recruited and coached three unknown recruits into the NBA and guided a fourth he inherited. Pretty much every game he has head coached with a notable exception like last night.

We just saw how bad it can be without that one thing he has consistently had and done well. Having that elite point guard out there probably masks a lot of things.
