We Need Options

[BodeClone]

When I say cut ties, some of you think it's me thinking Fred is a bad coach. He isn't a bad coach, I just have concerns he can take us to the next level of going deep in NCAA tourneys.

Let's just stick to basketball. I know some of you posers are back with your Spiderman crapola.

Better a poser than an idiot.

You are talking about a guy who has taken ISU into the NCAA tournament four of his first five years of coaching. Not just here, but anywhere, in his life. Think maybe the guy deserves a little room to show what he can do as he develops as a coach over time? Even if you totally discounted what Fred means to ISU, and vice versa, I think you'd have to at least acknowledge that.

I have been thinking the past few days on the future of this program, and when I look long term (3 years from now), I just don't see Fred being in the great city of Ames....... Whether it's him leaving on his own or we decide to cut ties with him. We need options.

A pretty cool idea would be Greg Marshall. With this guy, you are looking at somebody who has coached all around the globe. He's the bad a*s type of coach I am in love with. He's a guy that doesn't tolerate BS and has a killer instinct. What he has done in the tournament with inferior talent is quite mind boggling. He's the type of man that addresses his players when needed. He definitely wouldn't tolerate snoozing against sub-par opponents. You get the best of his team every game, not just during the big games against ranked opponents. Greg Freaking Marshall would be sick...

A pipeline dream would be, like Mr. Hoiberg, a guy with more of an NBA background. He does a great job announcing NBA games on ABC, he's a winner, somebody with a lot of ties to professional basketball, and did a great job in his time coaching in the NBA. And when I look at the best coaches, a lot of them played point guards in their playing career (ie 1st time head coach Steve Kerr this season) Mark Jackson!

Golden State's loss can be our gain! He helped Steph Curry develop into the player he is. Steph thinks very highly of him as he campaigned him to stay as head coach. The man knows the concept of team basketball (3rd or 4th all time in assists in NBA and the chemistry at Golden State was great between him and his players).

The college game would be a new challenge for Mr. Jackson. I assume we'll have top 10 talent for the next couple of years as that'd be attracting for him. Any college kid would be more excited than a kid on Christmas Eve to lace 'em up for this guy! If NBA players loved playing for him, college players will double that love and enthusiasm for him. These 18 year olds definitely look for a coach who kills it in his pre-game speeches when they decide to go to school for the next few years. Mark is a pastor and he even does that well too!

BESIDES Mr. Jackson not having ties to Iowa state, this so reminds me of Jim Football Harbaugh going to Michigan. Leaves after a very successful run in the Bay Area (San Fran/Golden State by completely changing the culture in both situations), heads to a great program, and the rest is history. Tell me why this would be a bad idea! Actually don't! Because this move is GOLD

No, this is exactly what the people laughing at you thought you meant. It justifies their ridicule entirely.

I was very enthused after his 2nd year, but I have to be honest, I thought we'd be further along now at that time. You are right in saying he's still in the early stages in his coaching career. I am very appreciative of what he's done to this point as he's changed the culture. After all we were in the dumps for a couple of years under McDermott. I'm just worried we may/may not have seen the best from this team under Fred

If were talking about hiring broadcasters, I think best options are **** Vitale, Dan Dakich or Vern Lundquist.

Yeah, you hawk fans thought Cap'n hairdo Alford could take you to the "next level" too.
