Yahoo: Hoiberg coveted coaching candidate for NBA

[uro cy]

Yes, I've met a couple of gopher fans too who are undecided about whether they should go after Fred, because Fred hasn't done enough over a longer period.

Wow. And I thought EIU fans were delusional.

Wow. And I thought EIU fans were delusional.

It's a big 10 thing. All coaches want to coach in the big 10. All players want to play in the Big 10. But the issue is- which players and coaches does the Big 10 want?

Are you hoping that if you tell yourself that enough times, it will come true?

No but you are hoping and praying that it happens. So you must hope that if you say it enough out might happen.

Amazing no rumors about franny isn't it? Wonder why?

 

[RedlineSi]

So we're not supposed to pretend to know what a coach is thinking, but A) you believe the only place he'd go is the NBA, and B) you laugh at the thought of him leaving for Minnesota.

Okay.

I'm not making assumptions of why he would do it. Everyone seems to talk about money, wanting his kids to grow up somewhere, etc.

I'm simply being logical....unlike most.

Fred isn't leaving because he isn't done yet. He's the kinda guy who sets a goal and stops at nothing to reach that goal. It is certainly a crazy goal to plan on cutting those nets down as a Cyclone but look at him. He is determined to add that banner to the inside of Hilton. That is why he will stay.

 

[FDWxMan]

Doubt he's going anywhere until he at least accomplishes something of a little more magnitude than an NCAA second round exit.

If you can't live in Ames on a million plus a year...you're doing it wrong.

We need to pay Fred...and the others. But keep in mind that Ames doesn't cost what NY or LA do.

It's not about money...and I'd live in Ames in a heartbeat...especially with kids and my family being there.

I think Fred stays the course...and does great things at ISU.

 

[moforisu]

Fred's not going anywhere, this is only the beginning for him at ISU. Were family and the NBA can't compete with that. You could see it in the post presser, the college game is so different. Again..........I believe this is only the beginning for ISU with Fred's run.

Maybe we should hire you for our coach??

 

[cloneluke80]

Fred isn't leaving for a college program. He will be an NBA coach but not until his kids are graduated from High School.

You mean until his kids are graduated after playing 4 years of cyclone MBB, which incidentally will be some of his national titles...

 

[xr4ticlone]

Maybe we should. Our last coach with no coaching experience has turned out pretty well.

Fred also made over $10M in the NBA. He doesnt seem like the kind of guy that would spend that on blow and strippers, so he probaly invested it well. That plus making $1.5M in Iowa, living in his hometown, coaching the team he loves goes along way to living a good life.

it's got to be so much less stress than the NBA would be. I'm no expert, but I wouldn't be worried about him leaving until his kids are headed to college. Ames is a great place to raise a family.

you need to switch your avatar, now we're starting to have the same thoughts and that is frightening.

wouldn't it be great if it were by destroying Kansas via Hoiberg's son and a GIF goes viral of Whitey's kid crying at the loss?

by that point the gif is probably streamed straight to our brains or something.

I imagine the biggest difference is not having to deal with recruiting.

Honestly, I have no clue what NBA coaches do in their off-season.

Hey you never know we all have some skeletons in the closet. Haha

 

[CapnCy]

He has a rare opportunity very few have. It's not like a Keno Davis deal where he bolts Drake to get a quick buck, etc. It's not about the money for him...

I don't know him personally, but I think he's rather tell te story of great success from walking To hilton as a boy to greatesnn as a player and coach. Sure, walk into UCLA and may be easier to get to a final four, but you tarnish your status as Golden Boy.

I suppose that's true. I would just think that being ISU's coach would be a lot less pressure than any NBA team. And you're a freaking God if you are winning.

 

[dualthreat]

I just hope the fans continue to support him. Next season may not go as well as the past two seasons, but there will undoubtedly be people questioning his coaching ability.

Pay him. Pay his staff(!!!) Support the heck out of Fred, his teams, fill Hilton... and he will stick around till retirement.
