Well at least he might stay. A lot of good information.

The best we can hope for is that the players get over the initial hurt and rally around each other. I think if we could get a guy like Turner Gill to come in, the guys might use this to build on.

i really doubt he stay unless we get a really good hire... gill, tubberville. someone along those lines

It sounds like the guys are at least willing to see who we bring in before jumping ship.

**cymonson** · 12-13-2008, 09:57 PM

hes "tryin to be patient"

**clonerules** · 12-13-2008, 09:57 PM

Thats definitely reassuring!!! Hopefully we can get someone that both the players and fans can really unite behind!! After all that has gone on, wouldnt it be awesome if this ended up actually being a huge blessing?

I think more things end up that way than not. It looks terrible at first, but once you reach the end of it, you find out you ended up better off than the other way could have been.

If we end up with a guy like Turner Gill, man, did we win in this thing!!!

Darius put up a new video, apologizing for his other stuff.

**Bader** · 12-13-2008, 10:03 PM

He told me that he doesn't expect a team meeting with Chizik and that the team probably wouldn't want to go anyways.

Ouch.

I know he's still frustrated but woof. These guys are ******.

Oh, and mods feel free to delete if I'm crossing the line quoting that. Didn't figure it was a big deal since Greg posted it on the free board.

You're the man, Darius......you already have a huge fan following, and ISU wants you here!

Be prepared to lose several recruits. I can tell you that from experience. When Callahan left it was like rats fleeing a sinking ship. Bo was able to woo a couple of them back but still we lost somewhere around 10 recruits. Most of these kids anymore commit to the coach opposed to the school. Maybe in a perfect world it would not be that way but it is what it is. However, the ones that stay are solid recruits devoted to the school as well as the coach. Hopefully the new coach is someone who will draw his own recruits although timing is bad. You will also discover other coaches will be contacting your recruits they become open game and the other coaches often will tell them lies to entice them.
