Fred or TJ?

Fred has the dance moves. TJ sits at the presser flexing his guns. Come on ladies.

TJ. Fred is the spoiled rich kid that always got the girl. TJ is the short frumpy guy with a better personality. Plus I think TJ could kick Fred's ass. Nether are as dreamy as Scotty though.
Fred has got a heart condition. Unfair.

Ya'll Xenophobic and hateful for not loving and celebrating Coach Orr and Morgan's haircuts.

But I choose TJ. I think TJ has put together a great staff. I also think TJ is a better X’s and O’s Guy than Fred is.
Yeah, the way I tried to think about it was whether Fred would have done as well with this team, and I don’t think he would have. But I think TJ could have do s about as well as Fred did with Fred’s teams

I really have enjoyed both of their times as coaches so it isn’t personal, but that’s how I made my decision

I keep thinking he needs to cut it then picture his head and hairline without it. Keep the comb over.

I think we have rose colored glasses of Fred's time here. The offense was better, but we certainly had times where the ball movement was infuriatingly stagnant for no apparent reason.

I like TJ's high effort teams better. I hope the offensive strategies can improve. Shooters alone won't solve that, but will at least make it more effective I suppose.

Feel bad for Tj when his voice gives out. I assume everything is ok. Him and CBF for that matter.

Screw Fred, he's a bugeater. He had everything, and threw it all away. No sympathy.

Think of it this way, if he never left, we never get to have this moment. I love this team. A lot. More than I ever thought I would.
I think it is a waste of time to be angry with Fred. He screwed up and he knows it unless he is a complete moron, and I am guessing he is not.

We all make mistakes in life, my hope is that someday we will know which were mistakes and which were good choices.

I'm willing to over look the high ground for him on this one. The way that all went down will always taste bad in the back of my mouth.

Didn't care for Wayne Morgan. Class A @ss clown in public.

Morgan wasn’t on the “better” of lists, but at least he sniffed some postseason. Which is better than what McDermott did here. Didn’t Morgan work with Mediacom for awhile doing installations at one point?

I think the problem we all have with Fred is that we thought he was a little more than human, and we found out he wasn't.

We will have more heartbreaks in the future. That is part of being an ISU fan. You have a longer future than I to get your heart broken. So consider yourself lucky.

Yes, this is true. Problem is Fred knew what he did, he was one of us. He knows.

Fred to the NBA seemed inevitable. Coach and/or GM. I'm just grateful for him bringing the Hilton Magic 'back', cuz regardless of what has happened since...he DID that.

And my guess is he is suffering for it, at least to some small extent.

My love of Fred really goes back more to his playing days than his coaching days. He was always fun to watch play, in the pros also. His coaching style I personally never thought it was conducive to winning a title. That is always what I wanted, to win a title. I am a megalomaniac.

How did it go down? He got the Bulls job for crying out loud. If Campbell left for the Steelers or Browns, would you pout about that too?

Yes, but not everyone gets paid $50M for their mistakes.
