Anyone else hearing that JP has already decided Prohm is coming back?
- Thread starter Gunnerclone
- Start date
I think the one posted that bit about CMC and Prohm being friends and leaving together, then created another new account to pile on.
Commendable.
You think Campbell is that emotionally dependent on Pollard? I don't. He's an adult man, not some little kid.
Campbell has famously signed a contract that substantially reduces his buyout if Pollard is not the AD at Iowa State.
I think Campbell likes working with Pollard, who leaves him alone and doesn't make him do things that he considers dumb.
I think it is in Iowa State's best interest to make sure Campbell is VERY HAPPY to be here and I think Pollard plays a big part in that.
I can't believe we have fans that don't ******* understand that.
He may be fine with another AD, but he definitely has an out if they don’t get along.

That's a big "No" from me.
Look, I love having a good football program. I lived in Ames in the '80's and early '90's when ISU football was a laughingstock, and I do not want to go back to those days. But I grew up, as many others did, in the era of Johnny Orr, Hilton Magic, and seeing ISU basketball become a nationally known and respected program. I emphatically am not okay with Cyclone basketball being a "crap" program.
This idea that we cannot have both programs be good simultaneously is really just very silly, and is completely detached from reality. ISU FB made the Alamo Bowl in the same time frame as the basketball team won the Big 12 Tournament and made the NCAA's.
wait, what? First you are worried about keeping Hunter, now you think Campbell’s going to be mad at JP for canning a 2-22 basketball coach?
I guess that is emblematic of how far one must use their imagination to come up with reasons to keep Prohm.
If it’s one or the other it’s football. So much more important than basketball.
I promise you that Prohm doesn't want to leave Ames or be an assistant somewhere else. Doesn't mean that he wouldn't as in the end coaches want to coach, but he'll sit and regroup and exhaust all HC opportunities before settling for an assistant gig. As for Hunter, if you believe he's going to follow Prohm somewhere and improve Prohm's employment prospects, you're delusional. It's not happening. Hunter is either coming to Ames to play for the new coach or will go play for someone else.
If we're going to throw out outlandish possibilities, I'm going to say Hunter committed to us because he knew it was TJ he'd be playing for and not Prohm. I mean really...there's the Wisconsin connection. How could it be anything else?
There. See how easy that is?
whose proven more when it comes to coaching at the college ranks?
belien or your bff grant?
If Prohm stays he would be Castanza in that episode where the company makes it known that they don't want him there but he refuses to quit.
Seem to remember Campbell saying that “******** programs care about 6 wins”. Wonder what he thinks about a two win program?
Oh please. Matt Campbell's emotional mind set is not that fragile. He's not made of glass. I'm sure he'd be fine working under many supportive AD's not named Pollard.
This mindset out there worrying if the coach is "happy" every single day is juvenile.
I'm sure he would be. But why mess with it? He obviously likes working with Pollard.
It appears that we finally having a ******* coach that likes to be here and is successful. Why we would do anything to discourage that is crazy.
This deserves a reward.
I do agree that the AD-coach relationship is critical - in any sport. But I'm sure Matt Campbell would say a great basketball program is good for football.
For sure. And I think it's dumb to think that Campbell would have an issue with a 2-20 coach getting fired.
But I've seen plenty of posts on here about how if Jamie doesn't fire Prohm he should be gone or if Jamie hires TJ he should be gone or if Jamie doesn't hire TJ he should be gone.
And I think all of that is ******* stupid. I'm VERY against hiring TJ. But if Jamie does, oh well, I think our priority should be football right now. And if Jamie decides not to fire Prohm, I'll be irritated. But I don't think it means we should fire Jamie.

This is one of the weakest scenarios anyone has created yet. Congratulations.
