I feel CF has not accepted TJ as our coach.

Not at all. No need to flame away, good thoughts and great post. I think many of us, including me were hopeful we might get an outside coach who was more proven, older or younger.
But now that the deed is done, it's time to actively throw our support TJ's way, at least in my mind. I can understand the fan disappointment in how the search (if there was one) went and who we hired. I can even see the initial resentment for TJ expressed in this forum, as it is early and reflects the fans disappointment on the hiring process that was so hotly debated before the hire.
What I don't get is the seeming relentless hate, or atleast lack of respect, that TJ is getting from some of the fan base here. It is sickening. Probably best noted in the "Jayden Nunn Decommits" thread. I mentioned that he was not being treated nicely in that thread. The same level of decorum our fans were demanding for and 18 y/o recruit, we were not giving to our newly hired coach, just 2 or 3 days into his job. Embarassing and hypocritical.
I think and hope that kind of behavior is lessening now. I know all of us fans want the ISU BB program to be successful. I kind of draw the line when it seems to almost be a personal attack on a man, most of us agree we know and like, TJ, who is now our coach. I don't get that.
Yah..every successful young coach has tons of high level experience...every marquee coach started just like TJ ..with little or no high level experience. All of you people act like Jamie had Big money $$$$$ options. Where were all of our rich farmers, vets, and engineers willing to shell out the cabbage to buy a "top shelf" coach..or posters b####ing about Jamie or TJ? I rest my case.
OK, lol. Keep working on that close of yours. All of you people. No, not all.
or posters b####ing about Jamie or TJ? I rest my case. Haha, where have you been man?
LOL. You know a lot. I'll give you that. I even sort of enjoy reading your posts, most of the time.
I don't either. Good post. Many fans on here just like to take things a bit too far, IMO.
God I hate this PC world we are living in. I was hoping that Pollard would actually have a real coaching search, knowing if he could not get his guy, then TJ would always be there as a fallback. But when we hire him within 24 hours of parting ways with Prohm, says it all.
TJ was always the guy, OK, so now he is the coach at ISU, the floor is very low, he wanted this opportunity 6 years ago, and Pollard wanted to give it to him then. I will support him because I love ISU, but I was also one that wanted to give Prohm this season, and look how that turned out.
We better win, or this could come back to bite Jami in the rear-end.

I hate how people act as if they know for sure that Jamie didn’t even consider any other candidates. Just because TJ was hired two days after Prohm was gone, doesn’t mean a search wasn’t done before that. Do you all really think Jamie had no clue he was getting rid of Prohm at the end of the season?
I know a lot of peopling will disagree with this take, but continuing to complain about how Pollard making a bad decision in hiring TJ is pretty much the same as not supporting him. Once the decision has been made, it’s best to get on board, IMO.
Pollard made a bad decision in hiring TJ. Go cyclones!

I didn't want TJ. I'm over it. He's our coach and likely will be for a very long time. At this point if you aren't giving him a chance you're basically acting like a baby.
