End of January Update Coach Prohm

[mplueg]

That was the end of the season. 1 game left. There’s a month left. No one is going to take the job in Feb.

to be fair, no one has done the job all season

CMC contract is bein negotiated of now, the program is 25 million in debt. We cannot afford a buyout. Give him another year and if he does not make the dance next year, fire him.

Oddly this might be the best thing for the entire athletic department in the long run....

I guess. I’m in the camp of create as toxic an environment as possible and drive that ****** out of Ames.

That’s exactly what a new coach is looking for, a toxic environment.

So everyone on this board would be excited about hiring TJ? I would definitly keep my options open. ISU has been a basketball school for a long time we should be able to attract a good coach.

I think everyone on this board would be excited about hiring a twelve pack of Sierra mist.

 

[fcclone]

I just watched us almost achieve our worst loss in program history. I appreciate your commitment to getting the job done.

Ummmmm, you just proved my point.

It must be nice to be simplistic enough to look at where this basketball team is at right now, and blame the coach. Gosh, if only all of life were that simple and straightforward.

He's making millions of dollars. That makes him responsible for everything that happens under the basketball program.

He took a program that was consistently going to the NCAA tournament and playing at a high level and turned it into a program that has finished in 9th or 10th in 3 of the last 4 years.

He should have been out last year when it was apparent that he'd mismanaged things enough that this year was inevitable. He certainly deserves to be fired now.

 

[awd4cy]

Fire him at the end of the year. Our season will end earlier than normal and there will be plenty of time to hire a new coach.

 

[thatguy]

No coach is going to agree with firing anyone in the middle of the season.

Nothing is gained by firing him now. You make the kids playing for him feel bad. You don’t do anything to help get a new coach. It makes no sense.

They should be more woried about the people writing checks feeling bad then a lame duck coach and a few players that are probably going to leave anyway.

Fundraising starts the second he is gone.

Ummmmm, you just proved my point.

Your argument is that he can’t make it worse, which I disagree with. That clear enough for ya?

 

[Hoggins]

That’s exactly what a new coach is looking for, a toxic environment.

Yea sure, because I’m sure it’s not already toxic.

How can it get worse?

Including having to coach players who don't appear to give a damn?

 

[madguy30]

Next guy needs to be an up and comer who brought his team to Ames one year, and was so impressed with the atmosphere that he called his wife to tell her he could see them being there.

 

[CycloneErik]

Including having to coach players who don't appear to give a damn?

He doesn't have to. He can quit.

These players are players he recruited. If he can't motivate them, that's his fault.

 

[alarson]

Including having to coach players who don't appear to give a damn?

Its the coach's job to recruit the players.
Its the coach's job to motivate those players.

 

[madguy30]

How can it get worse?

5 scolly players.

Conditt running the point.

Team trying the flying V on a fast break.

The whole team quitting the team.

Doesn't sound worse.

Would love to hear how it can get worse. I'll wait.

 

[madguy30]

Touche'.

Actually sounds at least entertaining.

We'd be doing something different. Let's roll.
Sure, maybe Conditt starts chucking from deep, but that would make him part of the team.
