Most fans and all the media were never mad at him.
Not sure what time it is, but as far as I know he is still having one. It will be interesting to see what questions are asked. I feel like the fans and media have had a few days to cool down since the Bulls official announcement and may not be as hostile as previously thought. I think Fred already saved some face by addressing the media before he got on the jet to Chicago, as well as praising ISU during the first 5 minutes of his introductory press conference for the Bulls. Makes it hard to be mad at the guy.
What kind of questions are they supposed to ask? Fred why would you go to a job that pays more money? Is the top of the business that you're in?how does it feel to let cyclone fans down? Aren't you supposed to do with the fans want not what is best for your family? I mean almost all the Posters on cycle fanatic would never take a pay raise or promotion to better off their family or themselves. I can't believe you would leave I will stay where everybody loves you. Nobody else has ever want to hear or will ever ever be able to win here.
What are we going to do when Fred's successor is successful too.?
There is no one posted on Cyclone Fanatic that would not do the same exact thing Fred did.
I'm guessing most of the questions will be of the "Fred, remember when you beat UNC to go to the sweet sixteen? That was awesome" variety.
A press conference seems.... awkward. How often does that happen after a move?
Honestly think itd just be better for everyone to move on.
Well with the extra money he makes in 1 year he can move them all to Chicago to nice houses.Fred - so money and the NBA is worth leaving your parents and the kids grandparents?
Coach Fred is the Mayor. He is always welcome at ISU. Always.Agreed. If he wanted to say goodbye to his former players he needed to do so before he left for Chicago.
How many times have you left a job and come back a few days later and addressed your subordinates? It's over, it's done, time to move on.
His brother works at the CBoT, so family is still involved.
