Just like GMAC didn't live under the shadow of LE, no other coach will live under the shadow of Fred. That will end with the departure of Steve Prohm just like the shadow of LE left with Wayne Morgan.
Anyone else hearing that JP has already decided Prohm is coming back?

Yeah, I don't think so. This thread is proof of that. It'll be less, but it's not going away.
Stop projecting and get over your broken heart. Perhaps have couples therapy with jsb. You two have real Hoiberg issues.
Prohm was treated fairly. He didn’t just become a highly flawed coach this year.
There’s not a place in which the current coach doesn’t get compared to the previous. Unfortunately that comparison wasn’t favorable. Steve has made certain the next one will be.
I don’t have any Hoiberg issues at all. Get a clue.
We get a coach who starts winning again.......what Fred did will fade away fairly quick. The only way it doesn't is if we get another 4 year GMAC type of stint while Fred starts winning in Nebby. Then I can agree with you.
Perhaps you’re always this way, that’s true. Change is hard for some. Regardless, you come across as the scorn lover freaking out over others discussing your ex, proclaiming they need to move on as you scratch out their face in all your photos.
Move on. Prohm was treated like a coach that takes a good program and goes 0-17 generally gets treated.
Your desire to pretend there should not be comparisons between successive coaches is putting Fred on a pedestal. Floyd was compared to Orr. LE to floyd, and GMAC to Morgan. No one complained about constantly pointing out the differences between Hoiberg and Greg because it was favorable.
This isn't about Prohm. It's about how there's a segment of the fan base that still hasn't let Fred go and will likely hold it against whoever the new coach is that they aren't Fred.
It’ll end after Prohm because Fred will be our coach.
The AD enforced media silence on this isn’t doing anyone any favors.
That’s what you scorned lovers don’t understand. It’s always only been about Prohm. He was criticized based on his own flaws. You would think 0-17 would vindicate that. That estranged Hoiberg lover brought up Prohm being treated unfairly.
But yes, there will always be a few of the scorned lovers type like jsb and mynameisjonus that view any and everything in the shadows of Fred. It’s rather sad.
Hoiberg is a valid candidate. To think otherwise is to be emotional about this.
we have had this myth perpetuated by the biggest Prohm apologists that the players are giving their all. It’s just not so.
Because people love names they know. Craig Smith would be way better than Thad Matta in my opinion. Up and coming coach instead of washed up guy who didn’t finish his career very well and has health issues.
Realistic is a stretch for either.
I was oddly entertained by Bosco's "Fred as farm girl gone city" spiel.

This. Sure, I love the Fred years, but 0-17 speaks for itself.
Two 20 loss seasons speak for themselves. Prohm is a failure whether he followed Fred or anyone else.
Prohm is about to give us the worst season in Iowa States 114 year history, yet people are crying that fans don’t like Prohm because he isn’t Fred. So incredibly stupid.
I appreciate what Fred did for Iowa State and hold no ill will towards him for leaving and chasing his dreams in the NBA. If he wants to come back and does, I'll be really happy and excited to see Hoiball 2.0.
If Fred stays at Nebraska, I think it's likely that part of the fan base will hold it against whoever the next coach is that they aren't Fred, especially with the rumors flying about him wanting to come back in '19 and now.
