The field. ISU is a top 25 job in college basketball and the job isn’t open in June this time. We’re getting a good one.

Not necessarily disagreeing with you, but what factors make you think this is a top 25 job to 'outsiders' as of right now? Top 40 maybe?
Recruiting hotbed? no. Money to burn? no. Tradition of finishing top 3 in the conference? not often. Desired location? Not for everyone.
Great fan base?.....well heck YES if we can get Hilton rocking again!!!!

That poll question isn’t exactly a fair question for Otz. Would you rather hire him or any other coach you could imagine? Hmm, let me think about that one.

Hoiberg vs the field? Might be interesting though he’d still be below 50%.

Love how the argument is “don’t want Otz, look at his record” but everyone wants Fred who’s record is........

When was the last time we hired a big name? Orr?
McDermott was a hot name locally, but not really sure nationally. Floyd was at New Orleans, Larry came out of nowhere, nobody would accept the job so we got Morgan. Fred was a massive gamble. Prohm came out of nowhere.

We are going to have to spend money to get a big name hire. Pollard has never done that yet.
