Would you hold it against Rhoads if he left for a better job?

[cycloneML]

What if a premier program came callling? Would you hold it against him for going?

 

[Clones21]

Yes. Id cry.

 

[isufan]

U betcha

 

[Al_4_State]

Hell yes.

 

[statefan63]

I'd be upset, but I'd wish him the best.

 

[Drive4cy]

No. He's given his heart and soul to this job and if he can get into a better financial situation for him and his family, more power to him. I'll always root for him.

 

[LeBron1]

Of course.

 

[cybsball20]

Not at all, it's business.

 

[herbicide]

No. I wouldn't like it, but I wouldn't blame him.

 

[xboxfever]

We already had a coach do that last season, so what do you think?

 

[isuno1fan]

It's not like he can't take great care of his family in Ames making $1M++.

I don't buy financial reasons to leave. If the program is stuck in the mudd and he doesn't think he can right the ship then I have no problem with it.

I don't think we'll have to worry about it anytime soon though.

 

[BCforISU]

I would be mad as hell, but not at him, just that we needed to find the 3rd coach in 4 years. But, he is making pretty good money here, no need for the money, maybe the opportunity, but not the money.

 

[Clonedogg]

Yes I would

 

[cyclonenate]

YES I WOULD SHOOT MYSELF

 

[Nedrick]

Based on the fact that he's "so proud to be (their) coach," I'd be pretty disappointed. Imagine how disenfranchised the players would feel.

 

[Clonedogg]

On this note do u think pollard will give him contract extension/raise after yr one

 

[chuckd4735]

I wonder what the response would have been to this question regarding Chizik 15 months ago.

 

[cycloneML]

On this note do u think pollard will give him contract extension/raise after yr one

I think hes currently working on a new contract for GMAC.

 

[Tre4ISU]

Right now yes, very much so. He has talked so much about what it means for him to be here. However, in 10 years if he is constantly winning 9-11 games and assistants are flying out of here and it is obvious he just can't get the talent to get over that edge then I would not hold it against him. In my opinion he has started something very very special here and I not only want him to but I think he can finish it.

We did? You mean the coach that won 5 game in two seasons.

Let's not pretend this would be the same thing.
