will talent leave if new coach is hired

[jdoggivjc]

If they do, can it be worse than the attrition that we've seen over the last few years.

How many seniors did we field this year?

What's amazing is this is the 7th year going into the year that we've been told by the Kool-Aid drinkers to temper our expectations because we have a "young" team.

I can't fully agree with that, but the only one I would have any concern for leaving would be Lazard. He never redshirted and I could see him transferring, redshirting and playing for two years elsewhere.

 

[NEICyFan]

Right. May as well fold the program if Nerness transfers.

He's the last one I'm worried about. He's a Clone through thin and thinner.

Who. Cares.

What this guy said

 

[D UP Clones]

guys, if we keep CPR, the talent will not only leave, it will stop coming. Not even bad players want to lose.

Emotion aside, and regardless of the player's allegiance, he's actually not helping them by leading them to defeat.

This of course is completely wrong. No players have left. Talent is improving.

next.

I don't know. He was highly recruited and passed on offers from a lot of top programs. I know that he's a legacy player, but he credited Rhoads as the reason he chose ISU. I'm sure he's looking ahead to playing on Sundays if he can. There are better places to showcase his talent; but then I'm not on a first name basis with him as you apparently are.

He won't waste a year sitting out.

you're iq is smaller than your thumbs up received...re-read this moron...I"m simply stating that keeping him is a mistake. God, you're part of our fan base? I swear, people like you have kept him here. Now **** off...next.

 

[Gunnerclone]

there is so much talent

This...I'm not sure what team people have been watching for the past few years. It's the same trap every time. We might be more talented in comparison to our own poor talent of the recent past. Bad coaching, not that great of players recruited by poor coaches.

If he transfers he won't have a choice but to sit out - but that's if he transfers.

 

[BigLame]

With the right hire you could see a rejuvenation. Key is 'right'

 

[chuckd4735]

It would be job one of new coach to keep them here. I just hope we actually have to worry about this.

That was my point, even if he wanted to leave he wouldn't due to having to sit out a year. He's not delaying his NFL shot by 1 year.

I'm convinced that if ISU and KSU had switched coaching staffs this morning, the Clones would have won this game 52-20. The Wildcat staff can take a team that had lost a lot to graduation and injury and still make a monumental comeback against a fairly healthy and more talented ISU team. One would think the team sees this, and might actually welcome a change in leadership, right?

 

[MartyFine]

We all know we have talent on the field on defense and offense as seen in the last 2 first halves. If Paul Rhoads is fired will any of the players leave with him. It is a sensitive issue for all the young players we have playing. I'm talking lazard Warren Joshua Thomas Peavy and don't forget Seth nerness any thoughts

Maybe but we need to live with 2-3 0-12 seasons just to get rid of this dysfunctional staff

Transferring doesn't delay his shot by a year. He could easily go to a Notre Dame, sit a year, play one and bolt for the NFL.

Lazard would be the first player I would worry about leaving.
