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

The fact that this thread has not been closed and OP not banned is nothing short of a miracle.
 
So if I understand we should "cut ties with Fred" so that we can hire a guy who is a better coach than Fred, will take us deeper into the tournament every year and will never leave ISU under any circumstance. Just FYI - that guy doesn't exist.
 
I want to apologize to everyone who has given BodeClone crap over the past few days. At the time, i honestly thought most of the crap he was getting was a little over the top, but after reading this, its not enough.
 
I hear Popovich is itching to get back in the college game, maybe we can get him to take an assistant job for a few years then take over.

I think a staff of Popovich, Hoiberg, Krzyzewski and Billy Donovan would be alright. IMO we would need a little more than that to ever be a legit national title contender, but oh well.
 
I do however hope that bringing back Otz helps him though. I also wish we could have retained Doc, and think we would have if he would have known what he was walking into.

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
