I'm not going to search for a discussion for you. We both know how that discussion is going to go. This thread isn't the place to have it, and we aren't going to agree so let's save ourselves and everyone else from having to go through it. Deal?

You guys know this, but winning cures all. Rhoads' rah rah approach was fine with everyone when there were wins attached to it. That was the same with the players as well. Exactly the opposite with Ferentz. His calm demeanor had fans irate when they weren't winning. I've been a part of tons of teams as a player and coach and on both good and bad teams there's been guys quit mid season. I don't like it. Don't agree with it. IMO it says a ton more about the player than it does the coach.
Exactly how I feel. If you quit midseason your just leaving your team behind saying you don't give a **** about any of them.
I know one thing for sure, in 6 months I still wont give a **** what you or any other Hawk fan thinks on the matter.
Yes the parents of a player are close to the team. That being said they also have their kids best interest at heart and see things thing maybe a little different than they really are.
I read between the lines and that is what I came up with. I'd take some quitter walk-ons dad's opinion and stick it. He knows as little as most of the people on here, or even less, because his son is also a quitter.
Here's one for you. A former player's brother told me he would suit up in a second and run through a concrete freakin' wall for Coach Rhoads because he's seen first hand on numerous occasions how much passion the guy has and how much he cares for ever single one of his players. I like that source better.
How many of you actually listened to the broadcast that are complaining about how this guy called in? Go listen before you post. IMO he wasn't ripping anyone. He wasn't piling on. He just briefly spoke about it and seemed to want to talk about his son more than anything. When pressed he answered questions about his son's experience. But for you guys too poopoo this like it has no merit is sticking your head in the sand.
I've been a fan of Rhoads... but if you look at this objectively, there is a lot of evidence piling up that he may not be as effective as we had hoped. I am anxious to see how this team responds Saturday. If we get steamrolled, I think you guys have your answer. I for one would love to see an upset special here. I'm not calling it...but that would cure a lot of ails.
If we look like we did the second half against NDSU...ugh. I may just tailgate the whole game the rest of the season.

6-1 205 when he played for us.
Makes you wonder if we use real heights and weights after summer pumpup.

Why would the parent of a former player feel the need to call into a joke of a radio show and give his 2 cents? No matter what he really knows and doesn't know, it is just weird to call into a show and give your opinion. The only reason to do so would be to stick up for you child.
I hope we don't schedule Mankato State anytime soon. Our secret gameplans might leak out!
I don't know either. It's a good question. The general answer (guess) is "I'm sure he has friends on the team he still talks to"
I suppose I'll also say that the fact this came across on the morning show on KXNO - well..... That's a lot like getting hard hitting facts from Howard Stern
FWIW - I have a friend whose son is on the team. He lives in Urbandale and his son is a starter on the team as of this coming Saturday and he says the locker room is fine and in surprising good spirits.
Well are you going to tell us who he is?!? You can't leave us hanging like that!
