Anyone else hearing that JP has already decided Prohm is coming back?

[WastedTalent]

No Way Hoiberg is walking away from $25 Million guaranteed even if he is a total disaster. No Way Jaime would give that kind of money.

Marked. Never say never.
I'm not holding my breath, or even saying it's going to happen, but when it comes to money and buyouts and donors, it's not cut and dry.

Does CMC have a lower buyout if he is offered tOSU coaching job?

Campbell’s buyout drops if Pollard is no longer AD. Campbell wants to work with Pollard. Fred wants to coach in the NBA. The sky is blue.

Like I said yesterday. Watch the @jsb space when CMC goes to tOSU when Day goes to the NFL. It’s going to be hilarious.

First Fred is coming back to ISU and now Campbell is going to OSU. I can’t wait to hear what’s next.

So this thread has reached the point where we are arguing if Melvin Ejim was a better player than Fred

He was.

 

[CloneIce]

As I have repeatedly said, it should be a non-starter if a potential coach wants a very low NBA buyout.

Why? I will take a coach that has 3-5 successful years, rebuilds the program, and leaves it in a better place when he goes to the NBA any day.

That's fine, but I want money for it. If a coach is so successful that the NBA wants him, the NBA can pay us for him.

$10 million buyout just to get Fred on Top of the enormous contract we would have to offer for 3-5 years? Crazy. Get Craig Smith. Better Coach. Less Money.

What else are you hiding

 

[CapnCy]

I’m thinking that it will be announced sometime between tomorrow and before the start of the ncaa tournament that prohm will not be back. all depends on jp wanting to give one last hurrah game(ala mccarney/rhoads)

Big 12 tourney as the hurrah? I would agree to do it after today...might motivate the guys to win one in KC for their coach....or give Prohm option to let an assistant have a game.

And could also give them time to gather some props

Could this board survive a 2 week search?

yes, and enjoy every second of it!

Survive it?!
They'll thrive in it!

Still cringey

Here’s what’s gonna happen. Bookmark it. Tag it. Set reminders in your phone. Steve will be let go around March 17th or 18th and Altman will be hired around April 1st

Would love it but have no idea why Altman would want to come here when Oregon is a much better job than ISU right now. He's winning the Pac 12 right now. Can't exactly imagine wanting to give that up to coach the worst P6 team in the country this year

He’s from the Midwest and old. He may want to get back here.

I've seen people float that he has (or may have?) family in Omaha or nearby. If they have grandkids that could be a reason they'd want to be closer.

 

[gocubs2118]

He’s from the Midwest and old. He may want to get back here.

Plus his whole staff has either Iowa or midwest ties. He’s only making 2.8 million this year, which is a lot lower than I thought it was.
