Coaching Search: Place your bets

She grew up in South Dakota so I think she would be somewhat familiar with Iowa State and it's history without having direct ties to campus.
That is the problem with Fred. It will land on one end of the spectrum or the other with him. Either he is washed up as a coach and fails, or, he does well enough to get another NBA job. There really is no happy ending either way.
The years from "well enough" to "another nba job" is the happy. There are no happy endings in collegiate athletics.
The best thing about being so bad for so long, is that Jamie has had the past two years to get a replacement lined up. When Hoiberg left we had little time and were left to choose from bottom of the barrel candidates.
Want: Honestly none of the names thrown around are inspiring. So crazy pick Mike Miller
Who it will be: TJ
Hard no: Hoiberg. Trying to remember the good times

The bolded is so true and it's a bummer. A combination of there not being a ton of top level talent available, plus realizing we are not much of a destination at this point is a bummer. I just can't get too fired up about TJ, Devries or a Fred re-run. I just can't.
Truthfully if we wound up with Prohm when we were a nationally relevant, Top 10 team, I fear for what we will get given our current state.
Maybe not super long term, but take a look around the Big 12. After Prohm at 6 years, the next shortest tenured coach is Dixon at 5, then Boynton at 4. We could get a guy like the other 7 Big 12 schools, all tenured around 10 year or more. It won't be Fred though
Right. I need to let peoples' stupid Fred theories not bother me and just continue to be a closethusker while he's there. I just don't see a very successful basketball coach staying in Ames for 10+ years because well....it's never happened. And if there were 1 to do it it'd be CFH.
Do you guys think we could get Juwan Howard? Lol
Altman or Matta.
Don't want Hoiberg. He's 14-43(5-32) at Nebraska lol. Was 115-155 in 3 years and a half years in the NBA. He's a loser now.
And 1000% don't want TJ. He underperformed at South Dakota State and is 28-28 at UNLV. Would be the worst possible hire imo.
Don't want a successful mid/low major coach either. We haven't had luck with those.
Space and pace offense is a great deal of fun when you have the horses for it. When you don't, it can look REAL bad.
Want—-Becky Hammon
Think—-Craig Smith
Don’t Want—-TJ: his teams are less disciplined than our current squad and I don’t believe he knows what he is doing as a Head Coach

I gotta admit I actually would like an outside the box hire like Becky Hammon. Even if it's not her, let's be the first men's program to hire a woman.
Couldn’t she soon land a NBA HC job?
Why go to a bad setup at Iowa St and risk that?
All that anyone needs to do to know that Prohm is gone is go look at past coaching change eras on CF. The fires burn the same. He gone.
The meltdown that is coming when CMC goes to tOSU after next season when Ryan Day goes to the NFL is going to be something to behold.
