So all assistant coaches are the same? Also, comparing Paul Rhoads to TJ? Really? That's not even the same sport. How is that in any way relevant?
You could point out a comparison to ANY coach we could potentially hire and make it look bad.

Yes. My point is that is not a criteria. It is whether the person can coach or not. Not whether he will be here for 20 years.
I believe so as well. They obviously own the cabin, but I think they still have a house in the South West Metro.

That's just dumb. Everyone but Duke lost in the tourney, and every loss was a disappointment to their fans.
Agreed, however the "coach who wants to be here" criteria should have some consideration. ISU (as a whole) is considered a challenge for any coach. The main thing is to gauge the flight-risk of a coach when they have any success at ISU before being tempted away.

Okay, but most people know that's not typical here.
Why would someone, who has proven themselves a winner, risk coming to ISU and failing in Hoiberg's foot steps.
Why? So we should hire a less talented coach because we think the more talented coach will leave after he has success? Thats a dumb idea.
Based on that logic, we never should have hired Fred. I wouldn't trade the last 5 years for anything no matter when or how it ends.

Only if the new coach wants him retained - or else our pool of candidates would be dramatically reduced. No HC worth his salt is going to have the AD tell him who one of his assistants will be.

Oh I thought you meant connections as in roots, not connections developed. I recant my critique.
No but it's very common to be asked to give a coach a chance, especially if there is still a contract in place. But normally the decision still is ultimately up to the coach.
Is Hoiberg gone yet? I've heard shockingly little about something that seems close to a done deal.
Competely untrue. It is well known when Fred was hired that TJ was to be retained on staff, now Fred probably wanted him any way but you are wrong if u think JP can't request a coach staying. Happens more than u think. Our pool would not be dramatically reduced. TJ has become a well known top notch recruiter. U think any Mid Major coach is going to have any problem keeping TJ? Umm no. It's rare for a Mid a Major coach to take over a higher level program and bring over his entire previous staff.
He's just waiting for all of us to go through the steps before he makes it official. It's obviously
I like how people think winning coaches are just available. If they are so good why aren't they with a team? Oh go for a lower level winning coach? Like McDermot?
Yeah there's risk in that way too, not just in 1st time guys.
