For the record, Chizik has started 5-14. Still five games left this year.

I took out the 1aa win....

Ugh...that is scary.

All you calling for a new coach...when and if that happens down the line (years not games)...who the HELL do you think we're going to get? We hired the hottest assistant coach prospect in a number of years and he can't win here. McCarney won here 3 years out of 12 and they almost named a building after him. Nobody is going to want this job. We lucked out that Pollard sweet talked Chizik (no matter how good a coach you think he is).

We're better off giving him AS MUCH time as possible (just like Mac) and hoping for the best. 2009 is a crucial year, obviously.

I'll repeat in simple terms...do you really think a quality coaching candidate is going to want to risk his ENTIRE career on coming to Ames? Good luck.

Sadly, that is the truth. Which makes me wonder why I devote so much energy in following this team.

Traditional coaches who are used to coaching 5 star players aren't going to do well at ISU.

You might not have noticed, but Leonard Johnson was not a five star player. Now go away.

Only once was there somebody in his face on those quick slants. A couple times they only brought 4 guys.

That is not true. This oline struggles to protect.

Keep it clean and on topic - no name calling or putting down others!

ISU is my team. I will be there cheering a last minute touchdown as we lose to KSU 45-7 at the end of a 2-10 season.

Sadly, that is the truth. Which makes me wonder why I devote so much energy in following this team.

Next year is the last year I buy season tickets for awhile unless they show some solid improvement from this year to the next.

...I'm no football expert...

...Has ISU ever had a big win like Nebraska did today? Not even against 1aa teams...

The first quote is obviously true, because the second one is completely wrong.

[atlantacyclone]

True.. I meant under Chizik...

[singsing]

Easy Answer. NOT ONE TIME. EVER

Others team do it. We never take a slant to the house. EVER.

We did it 3 times today, not just once. And we also ran a 7 yd out on 3rd and 10. WHY?

Because that is what the defense gave us. We took it and then punted. Our team cannot dictate what happens on the field because we are outmanned at virtually every position. I'm trying to stay positive for the future, but I see very few bright spots to build upon. The few we do have will have a hard time shining with all the weak spots I see. We've got somme huge holes to fill and I can't see them being filled in the near future.

I took out the 1aa win....

And put it in the loss column? And added another five losses for games that haven't been played yet?

[Clones85']

That is not true. This oline struggles to protect.

No doubt. That is why we have to run so many formations that have 2 TE's.

But there were three times we ran plays short of a first down on 3rd down. And on those three plays AA had tons of time

[atlantacyclone]

Yes, I did....

[ISU_Alum_2000]

Can you name for me a coach at a BCS school who started out 4 - 20 (I'm going to leave out the 1aa schools...) and went on to build a good program?

Ferentz was 4-19 his first two seasons at Iowa, and he has two Conference Championships and a BCS Bowl win since.

I'm no Ferentz/Iowa fan, but those are facts, and they answer your question.

Give it time....

[dustinal]

Yes, I did....

So after 19 games, you're giving up. I wasn't going to go here, but I can't resist: Did you did that under McCarney?
