It's a P6 job and plays in Texas at least 4 times a year (she's been in San Antonio for well over a decade). Obviously she's likely lined up for a NBA-job and I think she would be a short-term hire in that regard (this would likely be Hoiberg 2.0). But ISU has nothing to lose and frankly neither does Hammon: she could have a similar record to Ewing at Georgetown (he's currently at .504 record over 4 seasons) and they both would be snatched up as NBA assistants or even head coaches with that kind of performance. This is a PR move that also checks the boxes of hiring an X&O's coach with both experience & success at multiple levels.
Want: Ghost of John Wooden
Will get: unheard of scrub mid-major coach who has won some jackoff conference tournament once.
Don't want: Jeff or Scott Prohm.

If you are going outside the box. Why not hire an African American coach. Makes more sense than a white woman!
Anthony Grant - Dayton HC
Dennis Gates - Cleveland State HC
Dana Ford - Mo State HC
Dwayne Stephens - Mich St Asst
Micah Shrewsberry - Purdue Asst.
Jerome Tang - Baylor Asst.
It makes sense from our perspective. Zero sense from hers.
She doesn’t need to take a P5 rebuild to become an NBA head coach. It’s far more likely to impede her becoming one. Playing in Texas 4 times a year is minuscule.
Only thing ISU can offer is a HC salary: $750K a year is more than triple what she makes in San Antonio right now, but ISU would likely need to offer $1 mil a season or maybe something like $3 mil over 4 years.
Why do you think it is realistic that Fred is coming back to Ames? Have you seen any media/message board reports other than Cyclonefanatic?
I would have no issue if Fred came back, but if the possibility was there I would think there would be more indications that anonymous postings on this message board. If its out there great. I just haven't seen it.
And, at age 62, how much longer does he want to coach?
You'd have to think Matta is more realistic than Altman.
Altman makes 2.8 million and is at Oregon. Not sure why he would leave that job. If he did though we would have to pay him over 3 million. I don't see it happening unless for some odd reason he wants to really come back to the Midwest.
Matta was making around 3 million a year I think when he got canned. Could probably get him for a little cheaper than Altman.
I appreciate your dedication to the story! But my question is really who started the rumors amongst the stupidity of message board posters.
Matt A? The donor willing to pay for him (I’m assuming the sukups)? Carol Hoiberg?
I mean with my help and your Grandma this thread is reaching epic levels. Remember the rashad Vaughn thread? That will be this thread in a week.
and this thread ensures that every time the real new guy loses, a significant number of people will still wonder what Hoiberg would have done.
Want a coach that knows what the heck he is doing. Prohm has not only not done a good job, but for the last year and a half he has just looked like I don't really give a ship.
Expect TJ. but JP usually comes up with something not obvious.

That is what I was trying to say. New guy wouldn't get killed for not being Fred if Fred was still doing the NBA thing. It would be a non issue. But now... Fred is at Nebraska. New guy will get killed because Fred seems available to us now. No matter who New guy is.
