Sure. But, I'm just talking on-the-field-results.
If we lose Rhoads, whomever comes in will probably struggle to win 3 or 4 games as a first year guy, and if he is successful, he'll be gone in even less time.
I think you would want JP gone regardless.
As long as it wasn't a lack of $$ offered to coach or for facilities you can't place blame on JP.
CPR is the face of our program right now, and has really become a great image for the University as well. I'm hoping those capable are reaching into their pockets. CPR could become the (forgive me) Hayden Fry or Bill Snyder of Iowa State. 20 years from now I desperately want to hear the words "Paul Rhoads Coaching Tree" on half the espn broadcasts.
Where in the hell does KSU come up with this money for Snyder? We HAVE to keep Rhoads. I just wish this would get wrapped up either way soon.
Agreed. The waiting is the worst part. I just want whats going to happen to happen and get it over with.
Exactly. Right now he's proven that Paul Rhoads can come in and do exciting things at Iowa State. Two years from now, assuming the positive trend continues, he'll have proven that Iowa State is capable of sustained success and can be a longer term destination for a good coach. 2-3 years will make a world of difference in how his departure affects the program.
Agreed. If Rhoads leaves it throws ISU back in the tail spin of revolving door of coaches. Think 80's and early 90's.
DMac turned things around with time and stability and I hope CPR sticks around to take it even higher. Which I think he will.
But if CPR leaves expect 5 years tops out of every coach for quite some time. Either they suck and are fired or they win and move on.
Why does anyone think it is about money? Where has he ever given the impression that he needs/wants more $$$ in his paycheck?
At this point it's only internet conjecture on msg boards and one media outlet.
IF he chose to leave, which is still a big IF, then he is doing what he feels is best for him and his family. He should be allowed to make whatever decisions he wishes to make regarding that part of his life...and we no doubt will judge him for those decisions. I don't want him to leave but I am not going to hate him because he made a decision I didn't like.
On the bright side, if he leaves, those of you who hate the "Smoke on the Water" intro won't have to hear it anymore.
Agree with this! Also...it just might be about winning! He might see an easier path to a conference title at Pitt rather than ISU. That said...none of us know what his going on in this situation right now.
Yeah, but a title from the ACC is worth what?
The Tom Herman thing I can stomach, when I realize the program he is coaching for but for CPR to jet from ISU to Pitt (Big 12 to ACC) just makes no rational sense.
