    Defensive Coordinator Possibilities?

    I think this is a definite possibility but its going to cost some $$. Would be an absolute home run for a Coordinator

    Bryan Peterson Impressed by Donovan Jackson

    If throughout the season Monte can knock down the mid range jump shots, and get close to 18 ppg, 8 assists and keeps his turnovers low, he is gone. Its way early in the season, lets wait until we start playing the Big 12 schedule but I would think if we go far, and Monte improves that mid...

    Differences from last year to this year - coaching angle

    His demeanor is very similar to Fred's. He doesn't jaw at the refs at all, there was one time where I saw it. He is definitely more vocal on calling out plays and getting guys into the right spot - which as others have said and I agree with, is due to the players warming up to the new system.

    Thank you. Took the words out of my mouth. I thought my observations were pretty positive and even stated that there were far more positives than negatives. Go State!!

    Differences from last year to this year - coaching angle

    11 turnovers. Almost all of those from the middle pass in the press - 3 from McKay, 3 from Niang, 2 from Nader..the press is tough when the big guy is the middle pass. I thought they did a good job of pressing us tonight..and I think we will see it more. And yes, OU presses..at OU last year we...

    Differences from last year to this year - coaching angle

    It was awesome being in Hilton tonight for my first game of the Prohm era. I noticed a few things that I enjoyed and some things that will probably need to be addressed at some point. The good: Many set plays where Monte was clearly the go to When Naz was hot, there were some new wrinkles...

    Time to Put Up or Shut Up!

    100% agree. College football is entering a weird stage of putting up the cash, to get what you want. Houston and Memphis throwing out $3mil for their coaches is both insane and smart. They dont even touch our athletic budget. Now is Pollards time to find the right guy, throw a 5 year $15mil...

    TJ will be the next head coach, all points towards it.

    Bobby Lutz was a 1 year deal? Cornell Mann was a 1 year deal? Give some context, sorry but I dont buy it. Even in the terrible football era of CPR, we give a 2 year deal to supposedly the greatest offensive mind in college football. Give me details on 1 year deals for assistant college...

    TJ will be the next head coach, all points towards it.

    TJ is such a safe hire that I hate it. He was going to interview for head coaching jobs at small schools, he is a great recruiter at schools like Iowa State..and next thing you know he and his wife are moving back from Washington with a 1 YEAR contract in tow? How is anyone not discussing this...

    Pollard's comments from today's Tailgate tour stop re: Hoiberg

    All of this is insane. The guy just got done with his 2nd heart surgery, he has a TOP 5 team coming back next year and some people seriously think that he would take what in theory is about a $1mil raise to go coach in Chicago? Fred could stay at Iowa State for another 4-5 years (typical life of...
