Five Game Audition
- Thread starter Incyte
- Start date
Considering the positions that are open in College Football this year, it may be best to wait after next year. Honestly, Rhoads working out is our best option, but it is going to be tough to compete this offseason with salary.
So you've supported every move JP has made, is making, and ever will make as AD at ISU? If so, props for consistency at least.
not really related to the conversation but 15 years ago you tell me that would happen and I'd call that person a troll.
At the FBS level, coaching changes in the last few years:
2014: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_NCAA_Division_I_FBS_football_season#Coaching_changes
2013: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_NCAA_Division_I_FBS_football_season#Coaching_changes
2012: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_NCAA_Division_I_FBS_football_season#End_of_season
2011: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_NCAA_Division_I_FBS_football_season#End_of_season
You said:
(1) You are incapable of running an AD (but you think everyone else is too)
(2) "If JP feels he cannot get the person he wants or thinks we need, then he shouldn't fire him."
(3) "That's why JP is the CEO of a multi million dollar business and you guys post on message boards and feel outrage."
So we should always defer to JP's decisions, right? You wouldn't criticize a decision JP made as AD.
This is a fair point. But JPs business will begin to take a significant financial hit if, after another 2-10 season in 2015 we have a 2-10 season in 2016 (with Rhoads) and the job becomes even less desirable.
so essentially you are asking if I think JP is in a better position to make decisions on our athletics than I am? Yes, I feel that way.
We wont have a 2-10 season this year, we wont have a 2-10 season next year, and even if we did and JP fired him and we got a new coach, stadium would be full of people excited about football. Because we are Iowa State and that's the way it works.
So the plan is instead of knowing what is open and formulating a plan based on that knowledge, we will speculate as to what is going to be open next year and formulate a plan based on that? DON'T BE FOOLED, the "WE SHOULD WAIT A YEAR BECAUSE LOOK AT THE JOBS THAT ARE OPEN" posters are just the same CPR kool-aid drinkers that were telling us how they were going to laugh at he reasonable people when we go to a bowl game this year.
and "there's still a chance of making a bowl game" post from predictable poster in 3....2....1...

Essentially what you're arguing here is that JP should fire CPR regardless of the fallout of firing him. You're arguing that no matter who we get as a replacement, you're better off with that person than CPR for another season. You are incorrect and there is no 2 ways about it.
So now we're concerned that JP might not be capable of hiring a coach better than Rhoads?
This is a bold statement for a program that has won seven games in three seasons and has an interim OC. Especially considering it's records vs. the remaining opponents including 0fers vs. KSU & OU.
It's almost like all of the sudden ISU is playing winning football since they stayed within 3 scores of someone decent.
I'll see what happens this week and start to maybe make my way toward the kool-aid barrel.
If history is any indication, this a great set up for Texas to come out swingin' and pile up the points.

Im concerned that there wont be an acceptable replacement and you will annoyingly be posting fire "next coaches name" threads 3 years down the road. If JP can get the guy he wants this year, then ill bet he fires CPR. If he cant, he is not firing for the sake of firing. Anybody that has ever been involved in any kind of business should understand this and I honestly cant see how you guys cant get this through your head. Find replacement first, then fire CPR. I am not a CPR fan by any stretch, I could give a **** less if he is the coach next year or not. I just know that you don't fire a coach before knowing that you feel the replacement gives you a better opportunity to win than the current coach.
I know what youre trying to do. You are one of those people that thinks JP needs to be fired as well. There is no helping you people, you are a moron.
