I seriously doubt Jamie will fire Rhoads during the season, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if Rhoads were shown the door in early December with another 2-10 or 3-9 finish.
I might have thought that he would cut Rhoads loose early and give Mangino the interim role as a test drive, but the offense is the worst part of this team and Mangino hasn't shown he's worth a damn as OC anyway.
I did. He's a good coach and a good man who has had some horrible luck and made some decisions he probably wishes he had back. I think he can turn it around with patience from the fan base (a big if) and I seriously doubt that we can find better for football. It's an indictment of sports society and not on Rhoads that everybody has turned on him after just as many were up in arms because he wouldn't say a few short years ago that he was going to retire here because he said that he likely wouldn't control that (which may turn out to be prophetic).

If no one shows up to the games Jamie will have to fire him.I seriously doubt Jamie will fire Rhoads during the season, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if Rhoads were shown the door in early December with another 2-10 or 3-9 finish.

So baffling how people can still use this lame excuse. Paul would have been gone after last year at any place other than ISUI did.
