I didn't offer my opinion on the value of those reasons I just offered what I thought he was saying.
Official Announcement of TJ as the New Iowa State Mens BBall Coach
- Thread starter werdnamanhill
- Start date
Maybe JCL comes back as well. That's 3 proven starters and 3, 4 stars in your starting lineup!
Will Iowa State ever recruit better than Kansas or Texas? Maybe in a one off class, but probably never year over year. I understand that TJ is probably the best choice for keeping talent/getting more quickest. But Iowa State needs to win in other areas to reach the heights we want the program to. Hoping TJ puts together an all star staff who can get it done.
FWIW, we're hearing Loesner will be joining Fred here at Nebraska. I was just searching your board to learn about him. Didn't know much about him.
A lot don't relize how far we have fallen in the past 2 years. This is a very large rebuild if Hunter isn't in Ames next year. TJ may be the best option to keep him. That alone could be a program changer
After watching JP's announcement video I would have to say this was the worst 'sales' effort I've seen him give.
I don't have an issue with the reasons JP gave for giving TJ the job, but his unbelievable explanation of the 'process' was simply laughable. At the end of the day, JP admitted he interviewed nodody besides TJ. Didn't hire any search firms. He obviously wanted TJ from the beginning but wanted to sell us some phony 'process'. The 300 team W/L math line was 2nd grade level. Insulting to Cyclone fans.
IMO the TJ hire is certainly not spectacular nationally, but simply OK. A known quantity and comfortable for Pollard.
I just wish JP could have just been honest and said-- "I knew a couple of months ago that we needed to go in a different direction. I also knew who I wanted to replace Steve with. But we needed to let the season come to a conclusion before making the move."
That was the real process, IMHO. Just say it. And-- he forgot the fist pump with the "Go Cyclones."
Swirl on.

Don’t understand this comment. He committed to Prohm. So isn’t Hunter alone more a status quo?
I've seen several nice attempts at the Applebee's promo but it's going to be the TJ Waffleburger to promote their new brunch line. Come in and get it before the 11am Saturday tipoffs.
Comparing TJ to Izzo. Bold. I like it.
I'm in the market for 2021-2022 season tickets. Can I buy yours? Anyone other doom and gloomers. I'm looking to buy their season tickets. PM plz
I will like this hire a lot more with Lutz returning to Ames. Think he is a fantastic assistant. Can we find a coach that can teach post play? Not a stretch 4, and actual post. Or, be still my heart, a double post? Can you imagine having flexibility depending on matchups and cold 3 point shooting nights? Or being actually good and focused on rebounding, which is where you actually win the close games?
Calm the **** down, my goodness. So many of you acting like children. Holy **** this fan base sometimes.
I thought both videos were outstanding. The key is turning up the speed to 1.25 or 1.5.
Lots of ADs are goobers, that's definitely not limited to JP
