Anyone else hearing that JP has already decided Prohm is coming back?
- Thread starter Gunnerclone
- Start date
.So since ISU wasn't up by 21 yesterday at half only to lose by crazy turnovers and a late 3, he's not gone?
Darn.
Heard a rumor from a friend's dad that apparently a singular donor is willing to pony up the money for Prohm's buyout
No idea about the veracity of this rumor so it might just be bs but here's hoping that's true

that's a rumor that's been going around a month or two. and it's got legs.
I think it’s a long shot as well, but would disagree that it’s an absolute certainty that he wouldn’t cone. After all I don’t know what motivates him. As far as his age, I could care less.
He probably read it here. The message board rumor echo gets pretty strong when coach firings/hiring are going on.
Maybe so. But 20 years ago, he didn't have two Sweet 16 appearances, an Elite 8 and a Final Four, and outright/share of 3 Pac-12 titles.
I’ve never been a big Altman guy, but he would make a lot of sense when compared to peer coaches in the conference.
What am I missing here? Why is Altman even being discussed? There’s a 0% chance he leaves Oregon for ISU.
There is some smoke that his people contacted ISU to express interest. I wouldn’t get too excited about it. He’s done similar things before for a pay raise.
If true, then you have to question what’s going on that he would want to run away from the program he’s built. Likely would be some scandal that comes out down the road and follows him here.
Doesn't he have four kids who all still live in the midwest? He's from Nebraska originally so maybe he just wants to be closer to family. Not sure what is kids status are but he has to be close to being a grandparent.
I remember when Walden put this guy named Troy Davis in the last couple games of the season. Apparently he was pretty good or something.
Dana Altman would be a seriously strong hire for ISU. There are a couple of former B10 coaches that would continue the Johnny Orr tradition as well. A lot of solid candidates for what most would consider a plumb job. Bringing back "the mayor," however, makes no sense to me.
There you have it folks. Fred is my number one choice now! Dana can eat dirt.
Most of Altman's family lives in Nebraska. His son, Jordan, is the head coach at Cloud County Community College in Kansas. I've heard he has interest in moving back to the Midwest.
You thought Prohm was a good coach and that we would win a handful of Big 12 games this year after our KSU loss in Hilton.
Also, I've seen this mentioned a few times and it kind of bothers me. Is the barometer of our program the "Johnny Orr tradition"? Johnny was a good coach at the time for Iowa State, and don't get me wrong, I would take Johnny's level of success over what Prohms been able to do any day of the week. However this program has been, and can be so much better than what Johnny was able to do here.
