I havent commented in this thread, but I am sick of seeing the Paul Rhoads GIFs everywhere. The guy is a GIF waiting to happen. If he was winning, ok fine, but he isn't. I cant imagine Pollard enjoys watching these antics on the sideline since he is such a standup guy. I mean look at the demeanor of Hoiberg on the sidelines, reminds me so much of Pollard's approach.

I don't know. I feel like Pollard would have a Rhoads-like reaction if someone cleated his son and it wasn't called in cross country. And I'm being serious when I say that.

Don't forget, Pollard was ejected from a HS bball game. #RogueAD

Texas just outscored people, and Chizik's DB's (many were NFL-caliber) were TORCHED occasionally

on a side note, what are everyone's thoughts on bringing in a top HS coach? There are some unbelievably great HS coaches across the nation who I think could fundamentally transform the entire mindset of losing.

I think it would be a poor idea.

Todd Dodge was one of the top high school coaches in the country. He was 98-11 at Southlake Carroll. In his last five years there, he played in the state championship game five years in a row and won four of them (TX 5A Division II). That title game loss was his only loss in those 5 years. He won a couple of National Coach of the Year type awards from different publications, including USA Today.

Dodge then took the head coaching job at UNT, and won six games in four years. I doubt that you'll be seeing a Power 5 FBS school offer a head football coach position to a high school coach anytime soon...

If someone did, the "Gerry Faust" stories would pile up quickly.

I'm sure someone would make an argument around Gus Malzahn or Art Briles, but there are probably some other factors there, like coordinator time and all, and that they just might work at a different level than most coaches do.

These posts always crack me up. Just total conjecture. These kids work harder than you, they're mentally tougher than you, they have more pride than you, and they sure didn't give in last year when they easily could have. Give me a ******* break.[/

Lol. You have no clue what I've accomplished or how hard I've worked to be in the position I'm in. Football is a game. I'm assuming you're a Doc? Good then you understand the training and mental toughness it takes to be instructing surgeons during life and death procedures. Or maybe not? But I do. I played college basketball so yea I have an idea of how hard you have to work. It's nothing compared to the pressure and crap I deal with every day. Surgeons are arrogant ***** but they know their ****. Most do anyway.

What did this say? Looks like it was deleted.

Jordan Harris saying "I wanna go home!".

But someone pointed out to me that it might just mean he wants to go home from the library, so there's a chance it doesn't mean what we think it might. :twitcy:

Why in gods name would you associate Wayne Morgan and coaching defense? The guy couldn't coach himself out of a paper bag.

That's yours (and apparently JP's) opinion, but his record says just the opposite with three winning seasons and 4 post season wins during his 3 year stint. That's one of the better 3 year stretches in ISU basketball history. And actually his 2nd team that made it to and advanced in the NCAA tourney played pretty good D.

I would go bold and cancel the Iowa game in future years, uni too. Even if that means breach of contract payments. Schedule some cup cakes next year for whatever the price. We need 3 wins built in. To get some traction. Period. He has to think realistically. Kansas under mangino and KSU or NDSt didn't get built with hard shedules. Kids want to win and will go to schools they can.

It is fair as anything, especially when it fits as another symptom of what many believe to be causing the poor play.
Having players cry to their parents and spreading rumors is the behavior of a mentally weak team, and one lacking leadership. As is players publicly crying about former coaches being to hard on them, particularly when they suck on the field.

It isn't fair because (1) we don't even know that anything was said, (2) we don't know who was saying it, (3) we don't know how widespread it is. If it is just some third-stringer exaggerating, then it isn't fair. There are always going to be disgruntled players on a team.
