I think you promote change under him. Start forcing his hand in who he has in assistants for the next year or two. Those positions are year by year and they would either make Prohm improve his staff/team or it could potentially force Prohm to want to leave on his own.

Keep Prohm and let him coach the freshmen he recruited along with new recruits next year and Hinson. We will be fine.

What are the odds even half of those guys stick around regardless of what we do with Steve? Retention is a problem in the best of times and I expect a few of those guys to depart. Someone always does.

Then.... we repeat this cycle and people clamor for more time because the coach was unprepared for those guys to leave. Stop me if you have heard this one before.....

I voted to fire Prohm at the end of the year but the poll did not acknowledge it. Prohm has recruited talent to the NBA and obviously drew them here. Unfortunately the talent has not put expectations consistently in the court. All of you Hoiberg butt ******* can also shut up as he will not turn NU around and was ahead of the curve with transfers. It’s a no go as well. We need new blood that is driven for a title and that’s that.

None of the three. I think the BEST option is for him to move on to another job on his own after this season. Wasn't out of the realm of possibility last year until COVID struck. But maybe less likely this year now because he's gonna likely have one god awful record so finding a taker might be rough.

Is there a school that will want him and pay him a significant chunk of what he gets now? I’m thinking similar to McDermott to Creighton and Alford to New Mexico. Saved lots of $ for us and Iowa.

What other options are available? Some other staff turnover that can make a difference. Do something. Anything other than what current is not working and will not change.

Prohm's best year (not using Fred's players) was the 2018-2019 season. On that roster he had Talen Horton Tucker, Tyrese Haliburton, and Marial Shayok. All three were drafted with two of them seeing significant playing time in the NBA. With all that talent Prohm put together a season where ISU went 23-12 overall (9-9 in conference).

Prohm can't argue that he's never had talent players to work with. I believe Prohm's biggest struggle is dealing with constant roster turnover. He didn't have to deal with that much at Murry State. Good coaches develop a system, and their players, for that short timeframe. Also, I'd say Prohm is an above average recruiter, but the results are definitely a mixed bag.

I'm not convinced that he's an above-average recruiter. He's had some big hits, but he fails way more than he succeeds.

Prohm's in game adjustments, timeouts, play calling are all my biggest complaints.
The roster thing is an interesting point of view. GMac is succeeding at Creighton when he was going thru similar issues here.
