Let's have a serious discussion about CPR
- Thread starter CyFanInChiLand
- Start date
So our facilities are not really head and shoulders above everyone else??? That's right I just saw the link talking about K-State's new improvements to their stadium........and have been reading about Baylor's new stadium.......and all the improvements that T Boone Pickens has paid for Okie State and their recently new stadium.......etc., etc., etc.
Read all about the improvements in the Big 12 here.

I believe this is pretty close to the real situation. Imagine making a coaching change that costs $$ for buyout and ends up with even more ? failure and then ALSO results in a lack of fans. Pollard would probably rather keep having record sales with more patience (while $$ still comes in) than risk it all for the 'chance' of a new coach succeeding.
Also - staying patient and not disrupting things still gives him a 'chance' of CPR succeeding as well.
Still sucks all around. As fans, we're dying to be able to have something really special happen. It would have been (or would be) great to have it be with CPR.
I disagree with your opener about punt coverage. What cost the game was the o-line turned into wet paper bags during halftime. They were effective in first half, and invisible in the 2nd. That was a big part but not only part of the offense being absolutely impotent. I definitely agree with you on that.
Jack will not be sold out for those late seasons games if this keeps up. No way at all.
Your dad must be a hell of a runner. Does he have any eligibility left? If he has an arm like CJ also count me in.
I sincerely doubt CPR will be let go even if he goes 1-11. Just my gut feeling. Between the buyout and JPs relationship with him, I see him being here one more year regardless of this seasons results.
Who else are we going to beat except maybe Kansas? And.....we won't beat Kansas playing offense like we have the last 2 games.
I'll get you caught up, every game in conference is what the sunshine pumpers like to call "winnable" whatever that means. If every game on the schedule isn't "winnable" even to the sunshine pumpers what does that say about this coaching staff?
There is no serious discussion other than relieving CPR of duties. I wanted him to succeed, but he does not have the skill and vision to do it.
The same thing was said about the JP/Otz relationship. I guess I don't see why so many people on here don't think it is possible for a boss and employee to have a friendship without it affecting the business side of things. It happens everyday in the real world business so why can't it exist in the ISU AD.
Of course it happens in the real world, but we are talking specifically about ISU and JP. Outside of forcing DMac out the door, what exactly has he done to suggest he is capable of making those decisions? Trying to lock down under performing GMac? Standing by Rhoads after 2 horse **** seasons(years 5 and 6 no less)? I won't say he CAN'T do it, but nothing to me suggests he WOULD do it at the end of this season if it were warranted. Honestly, I like JP, I really do. This is just a gut feeling on my part from the sample of scenarios he has had in front of him.
Remember when JP was going to give McDermott another chance? Remember the whole transfer press conference he had? JP has yet to fire any of his coaches he's hired, and i really don't see that changing anytime soon, it will essentially admit, yeah I really botched this hire, something I just can't see JP doing.
