The thing is, let's say he says no to Chicago....he'll be the Wolves coach in the next year or 2. How does ISU spin that to recruits? Almost best he goes now.
Lol, that doesn't clear anything up or do anything why would he say that unless he wants to troll ISU fans? He could say that if he was the coach of the New England Patriots or if he was the CEO of Pioneer, that doesn't mean anything.
I don't take any tomorrow for granted. But I'd also be smart enough to know I don't need to make a hasty bad decision.

That all depends on the next coach. I'd hope we take the money we were paying CFH, add a percentage, and go after a big name that'd like to be in the top 3 paid coaches in the conference.
Yep - I think the people who think the fact he hasn't tweeted anything = bad are ones who have no experience with stuff like corporate social media policy. I work for a client whose employees are forbidden from "endorsing" anybody, whether they work for the same company or not, on LinkedIn. If I even so put that I work for X company on my Twitter, Facebook, etc then I have to be extremely careful about what I say.
Lawyers can really lock down this type of stuff and it's up to you whether you want to break policy or not, but it's a pretty dumb idea in the end. When contracts are being worked out especially, you stay quiet about everything via social media, especially when you have thousands of followers.
If fans get angry at him for leaving, I don't want to be a Cyclone fan anymore. We can be sad, but no need to dislike the guy for pursing his dream and bringing ISU basketball back on the map. Will it stay there? That's the part we can all panic about.
Good luck! It's going to be Otz and there is no question. Get used to Coach Otz calling the plays from the sidelines.
You don't give Hoiberg enough credit. His entire life has been about preparing himself to be ready for the next possible move/opportunity. He talks about this if you've ever heard one of his public speeches.
The reaction to Fred leaving would cover the whole spectrum, but the warm fuzzies would be long gone.
You're missing the point. If he wanted to stay at ISU, it wouldn't matter what the Bulls are doing--he could say that right now. That would not be "burning bridges" in any sense. But not saying anything right now, even after his AD has said he "hopes" Fred is here next season? Pretty clear the bridge to ISU is already on fire, the fans are dialing 911 and Fred refuses to douse the flames.
Why would the players come back from out of state for a meeting to say the coach is leaving?
While the bolded part is true now, him leaving would be dropping the A-bomb on the ISU portion of the map.
It'll all depend on where the program goes. If we maintain and get better, he'll probably solidify his legacy. If we go in the tank, he'll be the one that killed ISU basketball.
