Seems to me there's a HUGE difference between how Iowa and ISU handled this. Why did most of the Iowa players involved transfer out? Probably because KF told them that they were done playing there, so they best leave.
Dekkers situation ended up being worse than any of us thought it was.... and now all these guys too were WAY worse than we imagined. It says a TON about how awful this team has been in the margins and in the details. It really pisses me off honestly. CMC is the man at the top, and he holds some responsibility.... I'm sorry. And Iowa didn't have anyone nearly of any consequence like we did.... that's not just coincidence IMO.
Listening to CMC yesterday about Special Teams really ticked me off too. He was talking about how they needed to do a better job of teaching punt returners to catch punts instead of allowing them to bounce and roll 15 yds, etc, etc. Oh really Matt!! You don't say! That's s**t that is taught to 5th graders playing football. Yet our guys did it all year long... and now you're thinking maybe you should have taught them better?? What a joke.
It turns out... IMO.... there's a LOT of reasons behind all the ineptness of these teams over the years. And it starts with poor coaching and lack of discipline. You just don't see the kind of crap us poor ISU fans see every year happen on other teams. Two punt returners colliding while trying to catch a punt versus Iowa. Our QB being sacked and while being tossed to the ground just throws the ball up in the air.... and it ends up being a pick six.
Sorry... but it just got really old folks. Maybe now we've gotten rid of the boneheads on the team and we'll play a lot cleaner? We shall see? Same head coach though.... so I'm expecting horrible Special Teams plays that cost us several games... along with stupid mistakes being constantly made over and over again. Hopefully we can overcome them?
