Assuming TJ is hired.
- Thread starter fsanford
- Start date
Fizer doesn't qualify , imo. Doesn't have the 'connections' to AAU programs and others. Definitely doesn't have the coaching background. Other than Fizer being a ISU alum, former player, and appreciated supporter, I don't think he's ever been under consideration here.
Put the Burger Kings on high alert...OH COME ON PEOPLE...LIKE YOU WEREN'T THINKING THE SAME THING!
I think any assistant coach must have a college degree, so that might exclude a guy like Fizer. I could much easier see former players like Bryan Petersen or Scott Christopherson on a staff TJ put together.
Sure TJ could use an experienced coach on his staff, heck even Bill Self would be wise to hire an experienced coach. It's a bit silly to think TJ needs a coach knowledgable in X's & O's- he' been on McDermott, Hoiberg and Romar's staffs the last 10 years. I think he has learned something.

Nope, he's not. Never been a head coach before. Didn't get selected for the Drake job and the only interested D1 schools were Northern Kentucky and Wisconsin-Green Bay. He will make a decent head coach one day, but right now at ISU is not that time.
Depends if they keep Mann.
He needs both to buy recruits via well connected recruiters, as well as an ex-HC, ideally one with a fairly big-name. Get that plus hopefully a surprise transfer/late pickup and we are rolling.

I noticed Tj was following Michael porter, a Missouri womens asst coach on Twitter. Didn't think anything of it until I also noticed that his son Michael porter jr is the number 2 recruit in the 17 class per 247. I'm sure it's all a coincidence, I'm just saying that I noticed.
I saw that too but didn't realize he was the prospects dad, that's insteresting. He also recently followed the HC at Norfolk State, FWIW.
Don't expect a known commodity, what proven coach would gamble his career on someone who is not known nor can provide evidence of success?
I mentioned this in another thread before, but as far as I know I don't think Herb Sendek has been hired anywhere since he was let go at Arizona State after the season. IMO, he would be a perfect fit for that Bobby Lutz type of role, if TJ gets the nod.
Honest question: Would it be?
Not sure who he's recruited outside of Morris, and I thought he was the defense guy. Seems like a good guy but seems replaceable.
Has more experience then Otz and has actually been a head coach before. would be good to have someone that Otz can lean on.
