FRED HOIBERG TO OHIO ST?

[ISUCYCLONE09]

Per the Ohio st 247 forum: Seeing lots of rumblings around various sites stating that not only could this be in the works but it could be close to done in the next 36 hours.

anybody got any news on this? I truly hope this isn't real and just FAKE NEWS

I'm fine with that. Fred chased a dream and it didn't work out. Fine with him being back in the college ranks.

JFC. There are three years and 15 mil left on Fred's current deal.

Unless tOSU is going to pay him Coach K money he'd be taking a significant pay cut.

wo! News to me.

That job's easy money, soft conference with a bunch of dead weight teams.

Highly highly doubt FH would leave his dream job after only 2 years to take a pay cut and coach again in college at Ohio State. Now KY or Duke or UNC? Sure maybe..But Ohio state? I'd be shocked and it would be the ultimate slap in ISU face possible.

 

[Clark]

It's a logical fit since it's a big enough program for him to be successful but far enough away from Iowa State that he wouldn't have to face them very often.

My sources are confirming that all caps thread titles get more clicks.

Do you understand how much money the Ohio State athletics department has? Much like Texas, money is never an issue, no matter the sport.

This feels like the correct answer to me

They were paying Thad Matta $3.1 Million. I wonder if they would double that to get Fred? I don't see Fred leaving Chicago for anything less than $6 Million.

And OSU would be paying a hefty chunk to get him.

If they really want him they'll sign all the checks.

tOSU is going to open the checkbook for this hire

I thought that idea would bother me, but nope, not so much. It's not like we'd have a spot for him right now if he wanted to get back into the college ranks.

That's not the point. It's the optics. The only coaches making 5 mil or more annually all have NCAA championships on their resume. Fred has one Sweet 16 appearance.

 

[Stewo]

I hope that Fred goes there. I wanna see a good old fashion CF melt-down.

 

[Sigmapolis]

This reeks. How long until we find him with a blonde on the back of his motorcycle?

 

[Rural]

It wouldn't bother me one iota, more power to him.
