Just because it's a member of the media, doesn't mean they are right. (Coming from a guy who likes Keith Murphy a lot)

FWIW: just told Hoiberg and Wolves rumors are untrue. Flip and Fred are tight but Flip is coaching next year.

You must hold a pretty low opinion of Hoiberg. It'd take him about 10 minutes to offer an opinion on current coaches, or make up of JP's short list.
I'm going to be rather upset about this if it goes down. But none of it means Fred doesn't care immensely about ISU.
Latest I'm hearing is Chicago is all in on Fred. The Bears are opening a roster spot so he can play for them while coaching/playing for the Bulls.
I appreciate everything he has done, but leaving now would say a lot about how much ISU actually means to him.
Also, you don't take input on the next coach from someone who may want his old job back in 4 years.

I bet Hoiberg hasn't coached his last game for ISU, whether he leaves for the NBA this year or not.
Hoiberg certainly wouldn't have a say in the next HC but his opinion(should he have one) should certainly be considered at least.
Maybe I know more than Keith Murphy does on this situation?

Sounds like a guy who knows Fred is going to the T-Wolves but is trying to throw people off the truth.
Listen dude, you don't have to believe me and I don't know why Hines/CW/Murphy say what they're saying but the Bulls knew they were getting Fred since I said it on here and I will stand by that

CycloneFanatic was really bad at telling when people were joking, now this Fred to the team who shall not be named debacle is really making it bad. Some posters actually think others want T.J. as the head coach next year...
I only made it a couple of graphs into the WRNL pre-emptive goodbye piece. All the "Hoiberg doesn't love ISU as much as you do" talk is annoying and reeks of pre-emptive butthurt. I'm sure Hoiberg loves ISU a ton. But you aren't the ones fielding interest from multiple NBA teams, some of which already have a lot of pieces in place to be very successful in the near future. We all knew this was coming once it became clear that Hoiberg could coach at a very high level. He's always had the connections, and let's face it, he's every bit the fiery competitor that a guy like Fran is; he just channels it differently. Any guy with his kind of competitiveness and skills would at least entertain the idea of going to the next level and testing his mettle.
If he stays, ISU has a serious Final Four contender on its hands, (hopefully) at least another couple years before this starts all over again in earnest (there will be rumors every year that CFH remains in Ames, but they wouldn't always be as high-pitched as they are this year) and he'll absolutely be The Mayor.
If he leaves, it's not the end of the world and he'll still absolutely be The Mayor.
I wouldn't say a low opinion of Hoiberg...just trying to win over Chicago is where his focus should be once the decision is made.
And it shouldn't be taken as a insult to ISU...he just has bigger fish to fry. Just my opinion.
When will people realize there is a difference between insider information and insider opinion?
