Official Announcement of TJ as the New Iowa State Mens BBall Coach
- Thread starter werdnamanhill
- Start date
JP didn't interview anyone else during the Hoiberg and Campbell hires. Ironically his two best hires.
well, we can continue to ask these questions, but there really is no point anymore. JP wanted TJ and JP got TJ. At this point, we will never know if anyone else was even interviewed. Honestly, it doesn't even matter now.
Not ironic when you realize he doesn’t know what to look for. It’s bittersweet, but Jamie due diligence isn’t valuable
Amazing how much that Prohm extension damaged Pollard with the fan base. It’s just amazing the same guy that hired Hoiberg and Matt Campbell, turned around and extended Steve Prohm. Just hard to imagine what he was thinking. If not for that mistake he would still walk on water here. I love Pollard, most people do, but man that was a terrible mistake.
big lol at the guy in the replies zooming in on his watch to try to figure out the times
Dont love it, especially without an actual search but whatever. It will be very hard to be worse than Steve was. I'll give him time and see how things play out. Not like my investment in Iowa State basketball can get much lower anyways. Hope things work out well. Just felt like there were enough better picks out there that we should have considered them before just grabbing TJ up
Yeah, for all the "process" people when Jamie goes through an interview process for coaches we've ended up with: Chizik, McDermott, Prohm. When Jamie has targeted someone specifically we've gotten: Hoiberg, Rhoads, Campbell, Dresser. Maybe Rhoads wasn't a home run hire, but he still is better than any of the 3 "process" guys.
TJ getting tons of endorsements from former ISU players today. That's enough for me. I was lukewarm on the idea, but am ready to roll with TJ now. Niang's statement on Twitter a little bit ago was it the icing!
My first reaction was meh. I watched the Pollard video and was like double meh. Heard Georges' response and now I'm like, let's make this work.
Doesn't matter. He didn't like that people were critical of his uncle Steve's coaching ability
Has anyone seen cat since Prohm was fired? He always seemed to be a close friend/family member of Prohm.
What rock have you been living under. Almost all NCAA coaching searches are completed 1-2 weeks after the prior coach is fired. Just look at coaching hires the last couple years. If ISU had waited 3 weeks, we would probably have lost 3/4 our existing roster and our 2 recruits.
With the transfer market today, the window to hire a new coach has been shortened significantly. This search might have been brief, but whoever the new coach was going to be- this hire needed to occur within the next week.
2 out of how many isnt bad.
If any type of process doesn’t improve your hit rate, one has to ask, does Jamie have any clue?
He’s looking for the coaching version of himself. Enough hires and a couple of those are bound to be successful.
Amen. You don't even know the half of it, I'll bet...
