Alabama dodged a bullet with that one. Good thing Greg Byrne didn’t listen to the media or certain fans. He was a disaster. He could be the Rich Rod type of miss
Iowa State fires Steve Prohm
- Thread starter Jordan Harper
- Start date
Amen, so grateful we went outside the bama box and got Oats
Even as late as last Feb some fans were bemoaning "why didn't we hire Prohm instead of CAJ?".
Prohm inherited a loaded team with a recruiting class served up on a silver platter. To go 0-18 a few seasons later is impressive. Huge bullet dodged there.

Prohm inherited a great team. Did nothing with his own recruits or talent. We dodged a bullet. White at UF isn’t far from dodging a bullet either. He has underachieved. What about Gregg Marshall-we dodged a bullet there. He has a God complex and obviously doesn’t respect anyone but himself. Glad he turned down the job. Avery can recruit, just not a good college coach. He paved the way for Oats. Oats is a great X’s and O’s coach. Can recruit talent to his system. Love him.
How did Byrne find Oats? Was CNS somehow involved in the process? Just wondering if CNS contacted Izzo, who then recommended Oats.
Well it wasn’t hard to see what he was doing at Buffalo. 3 conference titles in 4 years I believe and they knocked off Arizona the year before. He talked to Saban who went on a conference call with Izzo who raved about him. That’s when it started to transpire.
oats had connections with the Mich State coach, he is a friend of saban of course. i think that had something to do with it.
Oats has done a phenomenal job change changing the culture which was badly needed.
Brynes had talked with several BB people/coaches including Izzo and CNO's name kept coming up w/ Izzo's endorsement carrying a lot of weight
Brynes called some of CNO's ex-players... this segment of the intro press conference by Brynes tells me that CNO is a special coach
here's the press conference, should be queued up where Brynes talks about talking to ex-players
[I would encourage everyone to watch the whole press conference]

I remember heated debate on here just a few months back about Matta over Oats. I was on Team CNO lol but I know we're all happy now.
