Besides the "I'm so proud...", how will CPR be remembered?

Beating Okie State.

Worse than Walden

Huh, that's lower than the all time winning percentage. How dare people thinking we can do better.

Nope that must be a mistake because 2 maybe 3 win seasons are the norm at Iowa State. Just ask the fans who have been around for decades. To hell with the facts that we have at our disposal. I'm trusting the old die easy fans over math every day of the week.

 

[CoKane]

Guy who started out hot and gave us some of the biggest wins in program history just to fizzle out in the end.

 

[Farnsworth]

Punting on 4 and 1

This is my biggest problem outside of talent and ******* with players heads.

Where is the guy who went for two against Nebraska our last time playing them. Yes it sucked losing that game, but that's what ISU needs to do as a program to go places. Conservative football when you are outmatched out of the gate gets you nowhere.

 

[Omaha Cy]

I think he's already remembered with 2 separate stages of his tenure here.
(pt 1) From game 1 of 2009, through Baylor 2012
(pt 2) Post Baylor 2012, till the end

I no longer have season tickets. But I will remember the FG game, holding my 1 year old son in the end zone of the game winning FG. It was awesome.

what, that was Chizik? then **** him.

but seriously, my 1 year old who is now 9 and his 4 year old brother love watching all the hit tapes that i have on a playlist. almost every ******* day...............the good old days...........

For growing up just down the road from Jack Trice.

 

[CyInDFW]

So how are you related to CPR?

He's not entirely wrong. CPRs first three years in Ames he could do no wrong. The fanbase loved him, CF loved him, everyone was saying look what we have to look forward to...and then...

 

[cyclones500]

Inexplicably failing to build on the biggest win in program history and record levels of excitement from those big wins.

Based on responses I've read so far, a combination of your post and dualthreat's, coupled with jsb's comments.

 

[BallSoHard4Cy]

For having 6(maybe plus) straight losing seasons.

 

[chuckd4735]

For doing things outside of the box to help ISU win games, only to put it on cruise control once he got that 10 year contract.

 

[Skidoosh]

The little engine that couldnt.

 

[ZB4CY]

4th and short on the opponents side of the 50...



PUNT TEAM!!

 

[WhatchaGonnaDo]

High highs, low lows.

 

[2forISU]

The first three years he had massive balls, not so much since.

 

[Spam]

High highs, low lows.

High high in terms of individual games. In terms of seasons? Low highs and low lows.

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

- The reason we have a playoff in the NCAA

- Probably the last time I'll be able to rush the field (vs OKST) and ISU not get a fine. Maybe last time to ever rush the field?

 

[megamanxzero35]

Created excitement in the fanbase that led to lots of football related facility upgrades. Like the Bergstrom Complex and SEZ. Those were only possible by the early success Rhoads had that ignited the fanbase. But ultimately not being able to capitalize on that fan momentum and making a couple questionable coaching hires.

 

[mcblogerson]

As the guy who coached aggressively for a few years then did a 180 and turned into a Kirk Ferentz that can't develop or recruit good players.

Or maybe just the former DC that has run on of the statistically worst defenses in the country for the last few years.
