Official Announcement of TJ as the New Iowa State Mens BBall Coach
- Thread starter werdnamanhill
- Start date
Lol, of course! Speculating where an unemployed former coach will end up is definitely worth putting behind the pay wall.
I know you guys hate him to the point you don't think he should be flipping burgers.
But he'll coach again if he wants to.
What would be the point of even speculating? CW shared what he heard.
A mid major is going to hire him. Hopefully Steve learned from his time at Iowa State.
The team inherited by Prohm never achieved their potential. Prohm never made players into a team. TJ actually coaches players into a team effort.
What level?
Hey, that will get anybody the runs.
Yeah, I think that's a safe assumption, probably somewhere in the Kentucky/Alabama area would be my guess.
Flipping burgers is a great job for him actually, requires almost zero thinking.
Even @jereseib, the President and CEO of the Prohm Haters Club, thinks he'll land a southern mid-major job.
Why do people hate him so much they want him forever unemployed? Wouldn’t another coaching job save us $ to give TJ more?
Some of you hold quite the grudge for an ex coach that was fired because he didn't do well enough. Sounds like a stressful way to go through life.
Chicago Sun Times mentioned him in this coaching search
Breaking down 10 potential candidates to be Illinois State’s new basketball coach
The following short list of 10 potential candidates for the Illinois State job is one with some very realistic targets and some that may be a reach but worth talking about.
Its wierd, who cares it didnt work out. Its time to move on.
There was just something about Prohm that pissed people off. I never understood it.
Speculating as to why...
(1.) They're projecting their anger at Fred leaving onto the next guy. They're not really over "the one who got away," so they're subconsciously litigating that by proxy with their next partner.
Never be the one to follow a legend.
(2.) Unrealistic expectations for what the late Niang/Morris teams could do. Good teams, sure, but college basketball has lots of good teams, and you need to play defense to win in March.
(3.) A soft-spoken and religious southerner was just never going to jibe with some people, even if he won.
It's not about defending Prohm is just that his time at ISU was better than McDermott's.
