Prohm 2 wins his last season. Campbell 1 win his last season. This was a sad day for Cyclone football. We will not beat any Power 5, Big 12 football team with how we played today. 1-11 record for 2023. Say, Goodnight Gracie.
Rich but true.This post from the Kansas State purple kitties fanpage is rich, considering that egg they laid against Missouri.
No creativity on offense?I'm done at this point. He did an excellent job of building the program and gave us the best 5 year stretch in school history but hes entered the death spiral at this point and he won't recover.
It's a shame to see such solid defense wasted the last 3 years.
Anybody know have any idea how it got this bad? Just 2 years ago we had a bunch of NFL players back coming off a Big 12 and Fiesta Bowl title and now we look like the worst Power 5 team in the country.
Yep. Saw it and called it years ago.He SO badly wants to be as conservative or more conservative than his hero Kirk Ferentz. It makes me sick to my stomach how stubborn and conservative he is. Don't go out there and try to win the game... just try not to F up. Such a loser mentality. All our guys play scared too death of messing up... and that causes them to mess up.

Opposing coaches will sooner or later figure you out and game plan accordingly.I remember the days when I was this this kind of a delusional fan. Then in 2005 we went 7-5 with a team that should have at least won 10 games, and in 2006 we went 4-8 (1-7) with a team that nearly every preseason magazine had us winning the North comfortably. A "McCarney can do wrong" kind of fan finally hit his breaking point and I finally had to jump off the bandwagon.
I have seen this story play out too many times at ISU: coach wants to prove he's the smartest person in the room and refuses to change when it's clear that what he insists on sticking to isn't working because the game has changed around him, leaving him behind.
The forced firing of Manning last year was a mandate that things had to change. Instead, Campbell has doubled down on the gutless conservative gameplans that don't work. If he was mandated to change and refused to change, that's a coach that shouldn't be coaching.
Heck that is more fighting spirit than his team has shown in almost 3 yrs.Not being the best version of himself. More fighting spirit than he's shown in months, though.
Most energy and fire he's shown all year and it's towards some idiot fan.Didn't think this loss could get any worse but it just did. Not a good look.
Ahh yes. The Paul Rhoads treatment.He’ll survive this season but will need to make a bowl next year.
None of us got to watch it in personExplain to me what made the Fiesta Bowl so special?
That’s fine but coach needs to keep on going don’t need to make excuses for his frustration tooThat guy is definitely being a loser. There is a difference between yelling that in the stands and yelling it right next to Campbell. The latter is across the line imo.
With that said, it is not usually a good sign of the mood around the program when players have to stop their coach from confronting a fan.
