What to do with Coach Prohm Poll..

[aeroclone]

Our 2015/16 team had upperclassman
Niang
Morris
Thomas
Nader
Burton
All in the NBA.

plus McKay and Naz (although this may have been the year he sat out due to injury)

They only finished 10-8 in conference play.

In my mind this is a bigger strike against him than his recent bottom feeder teams. His good teams were major underachieving. And then he wasn't able to maintain any of the momentum we had in the program at the time. Guy has been a failure across the board and has been since day 1.

Put John Beilein on speed dial. I hate zone d but there isn’t a better coaching option out there with a track record of success as well as having the ability to look at recruits and talk about players he has put in the NBA.

Is this a joke? This is about 4 tiers above what we can get. We're a power 5 assistant/mid major head coach type of job. Let's face it, its not a great job....

It isn’t as good as it was six years ago to be sure.

You go get Craig Smith at Utah State and we are in the tournament in two years.

Yeah he’s not sub .500. TJ is

The last Utah state coach ISU hired worked out ok

To be fair. I’ve watched UNLV the last two games. Close losses at Colorado State. UNLV will finish 4 or 5th in the league this year.

Greg learned. His system at Creighton gives much more freedom to his guards.

yes, Greg learned from his mistakes here, totally different type of style now

 

[Tornado man]

Does he still do a call in show? He needs asked tough questions like these:

How many 20+ losses should an ISU coach be allowed to have at Hilton? Multiple per season?

Do your players play as hard as their opponents?

you went through a prolonged offense/defense drought again... why not make a personal or scheme change during that stretch? This happens EVERY GAME?

there are many others that come to mind but you get the point.

Aren't those questions Pollard should be asked? After all, he picked Prohm out from other candidates interviewed that weekend in Atlanta, including Brad Underwood, then at SF Austin...

 

[exCYtable]

Maybe already discussed, but we have to give serious consideration to DeVries if Prohm goes, don't we? Iowa guy, with plenty of inroads to in-state recruiting (I'm not a fan of Jake Sullivan's commentary on this, but still think it's important), seems like he's knows his X's and Os as well as anyone, runs fun up tempo offense, and he could potentially bring Tucker with him?

Sure. Him too. But he needs to be answering those questions to the donors.

To me 2018-2019 was when I got really worried about Prohm as a coach. Before that I get you had a loaded roster didn’t want to rock the boat and then had a year to get things back on track after they left in 2017-2018. But you look at the roster( recruiting is not the main problem) for 2018-2019 that team should not be .500 in the big 12 and the Ohio state game was a train wreck from a coaching perspective. I tried to buy into the bad breaks with players leaving early, but it’s clearly not just about the talent in these games the last few years, it’s game plan and adjustments.

Underwood would have never stayed anyway.

Billie Gillipse is unemployed. We all wanted him not too long ago.

that’s 10 more conference wins than this years team will get

furthermore, that team had leadership and likely would have won those games with or without a coach!

 

[MJN]

Today I left the game before halftime. Had enough. It’s just not a good product. Dribble dribble dribble dribble dribble on offense.....defense they can’t stay in front of their own shadows. Steve has driven this program into the ground

 

[brett108]

Yeah we are not winning another game this year. How sad is that? If Prohm had some team ownership he would have resigned. He’s stealing a paycheck at this point.

 

[cycloneworld]

I mean, what moron says this after getting killed in all areas of the game.

State of Iowa gets a good D1 prospect every 5+ years ? We won’t win trying to play with local talent.

A head coach. It’s coach talk.

 

[HandSanitizer]

We will probably win another 2-3 Games. I am not sure where, but I can't see us losing out. That being said i would have never imagined Iowa state being so bad that its we are going to only win 4-5 games in a season.
Iowa state should be in a position (Losing guys to NBA included) to at worse be a bubble team/NIT bid.
But what I am seeing right is tough. I like the guys and the coaches, but I just don't get it.

 

[CoachHines3]

We’re not good

just my two cents
