Unfortunately, I think this is true. Problem is there will be just as many vacancies next year. The mid-season firings are going to continue and maybe escalate. As will lopping guys after 1-3 years. Different world today.

Like this little gem "So it appears that some coaches are "coaching up" their guys. If CPR is really the issue, I'd be fine letting Blaney, Mangino, or Ayeni take over the reigns for the rest of the year. Ayeni can obviously recruit and teach."
That has more to do with isu than ames but i guess is see where you were going. Its the whole history/ tradition aspect. Misleading when you use ames rather than Iowa state
There is a good possibility that a 5-7 team goes to a bowl this year. What if a 5-7 ISU team goes bowling and loses the bowl game? What then? Pollard has the ammo to keep CPR but the prognosis for next year is sort of blah.
I think we have a good shot with Dino Babers, he said just like Art Briles that he likes to take the jobs that nobody wants. Don't quote me though. I'd take Baylors offense.
Finally, someone gets it. We are never going to be a consistent winner playing the schools we have in the Big XII. Sure there will be some easier wins and we could schedule a patsy non-conference schedule like Iowa, but I would prefer we keep the schedule at a high level and hope that attracts some talent. We have excellent facilities and the kids like the coaching staff. Should be move to an easier conference? We might get more wins and get more bowl games but I just would not be happy anywhere but in the Big XII. Use JUCO recruiting to shore things up and to keep pace with the powerhouses in the conference. For what it is worth.
Here's the deal. Unless all our fans want to go on a hunger strike until CPR is fired, we have no power over getting him out of there.
Unless we have some million dollar boosters here of CF, which I doubt.
It's JPs decision and us ******** about it has very little affect on that decision.

We're so close the end of the season we should probably let it play out. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
The buyout is overrated. There as money 10 years ago to buy out coaches, but not all of a sudden there isn't money there for it.
There is no need to make a coaching change for the sake of making a coaching change. You have to know you can get someone better hired to take the job. If you make a change you have to have a plan on who you want to go after and have good feeling they want the job. This is never an easy job, same say one of the hardest in the country. The way the Big 12 is laid out now and how good the conference is makes it that much harder. That being said I have always said you can win at ISU it just takes the right coach. I really think if a hire is made you are going to be limited to a good former head coach that wants to be a head coach again, or an older asst coach that has been passed over. Yes this isn't a coaching destination, but you want a coach that if he has success isn't going to leave when he gets his first offer, rather one that waits to leave for a good situation.
