*** Official Iowa State Season Thread ***

[madguy30]

I have the same feelings, but what I'm now most angry about is what could have been with the teams he inherited from Hoiberg. We now know how bad he is. A good coach could have taken those Monte teams to much greater heights.

I actually appreciated how Solo came along in 16-17 and really played a nice role in the win at KU etc. but that team just needed a rim runner type to grad transfer in and go crazy, and there had to be someone out there that would have jumped at it.

Get a 15 seed and give Iowa the Hampton treatment

Ok but Hampton had a better team.

Let the sadness wash over me.

I saw on another thread that Fred wants to come home. Also saw donors are ready to pay his buyout to Nebby. And that we will roll the wheelbarrow of cash to compensate him. Just a rumor though.

Another rumor is I'll wake up tomorrow with two amazing female porn stars and they are exhausted.

Started googling hampton vs iowa state to look at Hampton's season... Stopped myself. We have suffered enough today.

You really think he will leave millions of dollars on the table? He would be dumb to do that.

I agree. He'll demand the money because he won't coach a college, any college team again.

I mean I know nothing but even if it's the same dollars it could be simply making it payable over time instead of within 30 days.

I heard a similar one about myself and Ace Ventura era Courtney Cox.

Just a rumor though.

it isn’t going to be a firing. Prohm will step down and it will be a mutual separation.

However it goes, he doesn’t need to coach the tourney IMO

Oh boy if that happened and ISU won a game.

Pittsburgh is referenced above, and after a horrible year with Kevin Stallings when they finished defeated in the ACC they are on a slow but sure road back to respectability with Jeff Capel. ISU still has a solid pedigree, plays in a top conference, has a passionate fanbase, and Hilton Magic is dormant for now but can be re-ignited with the right hire. Remember, it was just two years ago when we won the Big 12 tournament and had a top 6 seed in the NCAA tournament. The last two seasons have been frightfully awful, but the program still has a lot of potential.

Disagree. I do not see a lot of potential. Google Geico Pinocchio commercial.

That’s why he’ll coach lol. Jamie won’t allow an assistant to coach and win and make Steve look like an idiot. He already does that to himself.

 

[CYphyllis]

This is a historical achievement, they should be hanging a banner for this.

I do think Daniyal Robinson would be an upgrade.

Can we hang it upside down?

 

[psychlone99]

I think there’s a chance it happens tomorrow. I think it’s more than likely it’s announced a few days after they lose to OU on Wednesday.

You may very well be right, but I'm struggling to understand why JP would wait that long. What purpose does it serve to delay the inevitable? That's an honest question. There may be a reason that makes logistical/administrative/strategic sense, but I'm not seeing it.

I think you either do it tomorrow/Monday or immediately after they exit KC.

Also don’t forget, his really good Murray State teams were with Billy Kennedy recruits as well.

I think you want until the team gets back from KC because it could be seen as unprofessional if they’re on the bus or in the hotel when it’d happen lol.

I suppose that's fair. Although, you could inform Steve on the timing, and allow him time to address his team before they see it on Twitter or something.
