Official Rhoads Press Conference Thread

[Seth]

The dude looks like a coach. He talks like a coach. I just hope he can coach.

Man, I REALLY want to go to the basketball game now. The 2-hour drive isn't a deterrant, but the Blizzard of Ultimate Doom and an almost-closed interstate 35 is... Hey A-Town, make sure you cheer loud for me since I can't be there!

 

[cyfan4St8]

I'm getting warmer to him , I feel he is here to stay to road with us. I think that he does truely love to be back here and proud to be our coach.

 

[Walo]

Better than Chizik.

 

[ripvdub]

Sure is confident! A lot of coaches are, but he seems to ooze confidence, and machismo! Sorry, a little Razor Ramon reference.

 

[mustangcy]

I'm ready to run through a brick wall for this guy!!!! Love this guys emotion, passion and humility.

Great hire! Great hire!

 

[RotatingColumn]

This dude gots fire. I like it.

"Hit you coming off the bus."... love it.

 

[A-town Cy]

Pollard just said we have 18 commits, I only count 16.

 

[ISUKyro]

Look at the mans eyes - he's already drawing up the game plan for game one!

He knows something you dont. :wink:

 

[SeattleClone]

Better than Chizik.

If I ever start a band, that will be the name! Better Than Chizik.

 

[uro cy]

Hallelujah...although he is a former DC, he acknowledges the need to put points on the board...especially the way this league is.

 

[cyismydog]

I'd be surprised if it's free -- Jamie wants that eight bucks worse than you do. But at least one of the local stations will probably carry it live.

Paul Rhoads sounds like Tommy Lee Jones = Badass.

 

[LutherClone]

"I told Jamie, you sell the hope, but it's my jobs to make that in to faith."

"I have deep roots here."

"I can see myself here for a long time."



Alright, I'm impressed. Way to go Jamie! Now lets hope he can get those boys to win a few next year!

 

[bos]

Up front and honest about himself. Awesome.

 

[Covenant Clone]

WOW this guy is passionate about being the Cyclones football coach. I love it!!

 

[everyyard]

love the passion for iowa state!

 

[clonefan_80]

"we'll hit ya as we come off the bus"..... like the attitude!

That's why I'm glad we went with a defensive guy over an offensive guy. I've just got a stereotype that a defensive guy can give us a toughness and a swagger that we need.

"This is who i am, this is what you're gonna get" love it love it love it! this is the man for the job
