Report: T.J. Otzelberger headed for Iowa State
- Thread starter huntt26
- Start date
How many CF employees does TJ and JP offer jobs to?
When he shows up with Allison and kids in tow he’ll be royalty.
Your response to me pointing out the people whining about a process they factually know nothing about at this point is to whine about a process you know nothing about at this point? There is literally nobody in here who has any idea what Jamie did to get to this decision.
And he will do the same if TJ doesn't succeed....that's the business side of this all
I saw Stanz tweet in response to the firing "it's a cruel business". It's actually a very generous business....Prohm could likely never work again....it's not cruel...if you can make it to D1 head coach, you are taken care of...win or lose.
Terrible hire. His head coaching resume speaks for itself.... he's Prohm 2.0. He'll bring in some decent players.... just like Prohm was able to do..... but won't be able to coach them.... just like Prohm.
He had talent at UNLV, and stunk it up.
TJ is not on ANY schools hot list of coaches to hire right now.... none. Nobody would want him. We only do because he's buddies with JP, and has a history at ISU. JP even said in his taped recording that he wouldn't necessarily hire a head coach with great record or resume, but rather one that is the right fit for ISU..... you knew right then it was TJ.... terrible resume as a head coach.
Hope I'm proven dead wrong on this one and TJ learns how to coach all of the sudden. This does absolutely nothing for my excitement of ISU basketball going forward. I don't think much of Cyclone Nation will be too excited about it.

None of us really know if TJ will end up working tonight but the ISU has been what TJ has been working for since he left to assist Romar au UW. I am sure his plan to succeed at ISU was very attractive and translatable to Jamie.
If it does work I do think TJ is much more likely to stay in Ames than a lot of the other coaches being discussed over the past 2 weeks.
I guess Jamie is looking for his version of Beard at TT.
JFC . Of course it started weeks ago, I’ve been saying that. Everyone has been saying that.
But there are constraints to not having a vacancy. As in, you can’t generally interview candidates. Who benefits the most from those constraints? The guy you know.
It’s not complicated.
More coaching experience than Hoiberg had.To be fair, Fizer has HC experience
Royce White, Hilton Magic Legends Suffer Upset Loss at the Basketball Tournament
Royce White 's Basketball Tournament experience is over after one game. In one of the biggest upsets of the tournament's first round, Illinois BC scored a 92-63 rout over the Hilton Magic Legends that were led by White...bleacherreport.com
They absolutely would after the season, but not while they're in Indiana getting ready for a tournament game
Yes, just think of all that talent he had at UNLV (trying to think of a name of even one player that isn’t named Caleb Grill).
I’m guessing he will look to bolt to Wisconsin. I doubt he’s the head coach in 6 years because that’s the way it goes here.
Prohm whiffed on a ton of guys. Sorry, three guys who left early don’t make prohm a great recruiter with all his misses
Interesting there doesn't seem to be legs to the initial story by the LV Review-Journal that TJ is the next coach. Not seeing any national sites independently reporting.
TJ could be the guy, but maybe this is why Jamie said in his press conference this morning to not believe anything except from ISU's Athletic Dept.
The paper could have great sources or they could be doing the bidding of UNLV. Jamie would have had to ask UNLV to interview TJ. So who benefits most by getting the story that TJ is the guy? UNLV. They might feel they have ISU over a barrel and having the report out there gives them stronger leverage in keeping TJ's buyout at $3M.
It could be someone in media or UNLV AD with an axe to grind with TJ. Weaken his position at UNLV, even if he doesn't get the ISU job.
Maybe Jamie knew this was going to get nasty, when he made his statement this AM.

Home turf? The guy is from Wisconsin. And every coach gets talent into Vegas......like TJ, they just don't win a lot........like TJ.
Chizik wasn’t that bad of hire. We didn’t have to pay to get rid of him and things didn’t regress much.
Prohm was much worse, particularly the extension/buyout in 2019
Did Larry go winless in his last year? He had Vroman, Homan, Sullivan plus Blaylock and Stinson incoming.
