That's the life of an introvert. People always think there's something awkward when they typically just don't like being social butterflies.
What is the relationship and who is the “they” you’re referring to? If it’s Pollard I would tell Fred to take a flying **** if I were him.
I don’t think Fred hates Iowa state at all, I just think he and especially his family hated it here because of how small the town was in comparison to how big they were here. Couldn’t leave the house without the “paparazzi” spotting them. They don’t have that problem anywhere else, or at least nearly as big.
It's worth remembering that Fred went out of his way, while in his first training camp at his coveted NBA job, to call into a local sports talk radio show to dispel the "double-digit sources" report of his supposedly acrimonious departure from ISU. He had no obligation to do that, and it sure doesn't seem like the kind of thing a guy who doesn't care about ISU or its fans would bother doing.
Why the hate? He made one of our old rivals impotent and he managed to beat our other rival twice last year. I think it was his master plan!
Bubu did it. My only issue was timing as he should have made his decision after Kane committed which would have opened up the scholarship for amardi (sp) who we really really could have used for post depth that year and ended up playing for Oregon instead.
Is that true? I highly doubt we would have worked to keep Prohm as hard as we did had Fred really wanted to come back.
A bit off topic but I’d love to hear the real story about hiring Prohm over TJ the first time around. We have heard Pollard want to hire him but Leath forced Prohm. And we’ve heard Jamie knew TJ wasn’t ready and didn’t offer him the job.
Death. Taxes. And CF Fred Debates.
As far as I can remember from various discussion among those who would know, it wasn't "leath forced prohm" but more "leath forced a full search to be done and Prohm was selected over TJ"
Its all hypothetical. There are good points for the side of hiring TJ back then, and there are good points as to why we may have been better off the way things ended up, with him gaining HC experience elsewhere first
It took Nebraska two weeks to fire Tim Miles after their last game. He said he knew was being fired for over a month. It was coincidentally announced the same day as Prohm's extension. Hoiberg was hired 4 days later. They didn't want to fire Miles until they knew they had Fred despite the rumors he was their guy.
TJ was also announced as UNLV's hire the day after Prohm's extension was announced. Both TJ and Fred were waiting to see what Prohm was going to do.
I can only imagine what this board would have been like had Prohm left and we had chosen to hire TJ instead of Fred
Probably would be some interesting reading going back to the threads. I'm pretty sure I was in favor of hiring Hoiberg back.
Fred held onto the offer from Nebraska for several days before Steve's decision to stay, and Jamie was not going to stop Steve from taking the Alabama job either. Not sure why he got an extension out of it though
