Prohm to Alabama?

Any of our fans that tweet at him about that are straight up anuses.

We have those here

And easily dismissed. Some junior high level mean tweets aren’t going to prevent him from signing a raise. Don’t worry, Bama fans and media have said even worse about Johnson’s wife and son (on the roster). Cross that spot off the list.

I thought we were already there

Only if he comes back

Take that JLH and SMG.

I agree, if Fred ever came back we'd be doomed

If Prohm wants to leave, it’s fine with me. However, I’m afraid all of this coming out now could have a negative effect on how the team plays today

All I know is it's not the best look to have your coach leave you for a lateral move.

The McD to Creighton move looked great, and that wasn’t even lateral.
It happens. KU lost Roy to UNC, and that looked fine.

Do you have a link to all of the things said about his wife and son?

Roy going from KU to UNC is a little different than someone going from Iowa State to Bama.

Leaving KU for UNC seems like an upgrade to me, but it could have something to do with my burning hatred for Kboooooo

Maybe so, but getting a new coach every 5 years is not the key to success as a program. We greatly lucked out that Prohm has done as good as he has, but find me a good, but not blue blood program that goes through coaches like we do. it doesn't matter why they leave or if it is better for Iowa State short term. It is not good for the program long term. Since 1995, we have had 6 coaches. Six coaches in 23 years. I guess I should expect it by now, but it would be nice if someone actually wanted to coach here.

 

[jcyclonee]

Has anything of even remote fact been posted in this thread?

Yes. SMG is not hotter than JLH.

 

[jcyclonee]

if Prohm leaves Jamie's first call should be to Rick Pitino or Dana Altman or someone with a lot of d1 experience

Otz will always be around and hopefully would have the chance to get more experience but making a splash with an experienced, successful coach (who probably wouldn't stay that long) would legitimize the program far more than another low-major guy

Rick Pitino or Dana Altman? Why not Phil Jackson or Pat Riley? Doc Rivers might be looking for a job, too.

2 of those left for the Chicago Bulls, so it wasn't like they left for even a good college job. I do agree with your overall point.

You want coaches that will be successful to stay, that’s true. But you’re counting 3 beneficial departures and a positive retirement in your 6. Only two coaches leaving in 23 years isn’t bad.

I wouldnt say that looked great. We were just happy to have him gone.

If McDermott had been winning and he left for Creighton, that would have been a horrible look.

You think he is really interested in making true statements? He’s all excited about the possiblity of prohm leaving.

I completely disagree. And there’s no retirement in my 6.
