It will end up costing them more for Jamie to keep him. No one will show up next year for this garbage.

if jp doesn’t do anything about it hilton will be over half filled with hawkeye and jayhawk fans when we play them next year. what a disgusting thought that would be. so sad

 

[AgronAlum]

There have been rumors for awhile on threads here about donors ponying up the dough to buy him out and rumors of Prohm taking a position at Wichita State.

Gotcha. I’ve pretty well avoided the Prohm threads because they’re usually the same old **** over and over.

 

[Gunnerclone]

Don’t we have a higher ranked 4 star coming in? So we would have the same amount of 4 stars?

 

[cincinnaticyclone]

Actually i
Think the 4 star thing is not accurate

We have the same number of four stars. That’s my mistake.

Hate to burst your bubble but Prohm is not going anywhere this year.

I just can't see a way that Prohm is back next year. In Pollard's last message, the finances didn't seem as dire as they did last fall when football was talked about being cancelled.

I've always felt that firing a coach mid-season doesn't do you any good, and I'm still barely hanging on to that feeling. But it's time to start talking to agents to understand interest in candidates.

I like Prohm. He can recruit but can’t seem to coach them into a team. Team has no identity, no comradery. I can tolerate bad basketball if there’s no talent but I see talent there but not the little things. Guy goes down, no teammates to pick them up. MadevFT, no high fives from the other four. The little things make a team and a I don’t see it. Unfortunately COVID will get him a pass this year but I think a change is needed and eminent. No matter who they hire it will set the program back at least 2 years.

DeVries

Smith

Grant

A lamp

A piece of toast

An old person sitting on their hands in section 102

I'd take any of them.

fixed it for ya!

 

[cincinnaticyclone]

fixed it for ya!

At least the last three options wouldn’t cost 2.3 million dollars per year

 

[CycloneErik]

Sounds good to me.
Might be great. Literally can't be worse.

Granted, it’s his son, but yes

Reminds me a lot of McDermott's teams where there just wasn't any team chemistry

I’d don’t disagree

Thad Matta or bust. Five year deal to get the program at least back in decent shape.

If we're aiming that high, instead pay Beilein to come back until he wants to retire for good.

 

[Tpups21]

I would not hate the hire. I would like to start off with Oats and kick those tires.

Agree. Oats would be a grand slam hire. Call me crazy, but I actually think he would listen.

 

[fsanford]

I’d love TJ as our coach. Top 14 recruiting class for next year. And he brought in George’s, Naz, Monte and company.

TJ needs more time at UNLV they are also a bad basketball team. Not sold on his coaching yet. MWC is a bad league this year. Prohm brought in some top notch recruits as well.

Right now would prefer a more solid/proven X's and O's guy

 

[Jayshellberg]

Steve Prohm is dead in the water. Looking for replacements should begin immediately. However, JP shouldn’t have to look far. Darian DeVries’ Drake team is 15-0, including a win over the same K-State team we lost to. “But what about recruiting!” I hear some of you say. Drake has more four stars in his current recruiting class than Iowa State, a power 5 program does.

EDIT: the four star is Darian’s son Tucker, a star at Waukee. We have the same number of four stars in our current recruiting classes.

Agree, DeVries was the head assistant at Creighton, one of the best programs in the Big East, and he has what it takes to be successful.

 

[MeowingCows]

Agree. Oats would be a grand slam hire. Call me crazy, but I actually think he would listen.

I don't, he's currently driving the entire SEC. Why give that up now to start a full rebuild here?

 

[dahliaclone]

Agree. Oats would be a grand slam hire. Call me crazy, but I actually think he would listen.

What's his contract at Bama? Buyout?

 

[cyatheart]

I love oats, but why would he come here, he has a ranked team where he is
