I am certain Fred would be great. I think you would have to offer him a long contract to get him here. I would offer him a 10 contract at $30-35M with an opt out for him at 3 years.
I think the terms of Hoiberg's contract with ISU are all you need to determine what his intentions are. His 10-year deal requires a $2 million buyout if Fred takes another college coaching job (i.e. he will never go to another college), but only $500,000 if he left for a pro job. Hmmm...looks to me like Fred might have been looking at Adelman's age when he signed his extension with ISU, and wanted to keep his options open. Who knows, maybe there's even a handshake deal with Taylor...they're pretty close.
If I'm a family man with four kids I like to spend time with, I want to be hanging with them during the summers...not spending my summers sucking up to the moms of recruits. Especially if someone wants to give me an extra $2 million a year.
Fred spoke to my breakfast club several times, and I can tell you he's a smart guy. There's a reason he negotiated such a small buyout in the event he jumps to the Wolves.
