I about voted with my heart. The guy has done some amazing things for Iowa State.

Unfortunately, it's a business, and he's done nothing to build off of those amazing things.

Last week, I said give him another year. But now, now he needs to go

He should by the end of the year, but he won't. As long as fans keep showing up, he'll be here. However, if attendance starts to go down, then it's a different story

I voted after next season but wouldn't care either way. If hiring a new coach means hiring a cheaper coach and directing the excess funds to Swagberg then fire him now.

I'll coach for $100,000 a year and the results record wise won't be much worse. Give the rest of the money you would have given to a football coach to the basketball program

Fire him coming off the field. Make him find his own ride back.

Im still voting to give him next year. However I wont be upset if he is gone after this season, where last week I probably would of been.

We are too young on defense and have had too many injuries for me to say this is it. These young guys are getting a lot of experience and I expect a lot of improvement next year. And with CPR, I really believe that we'll see it. I still love him as our coach. But that said, we do need to see improvement next year and if we don't see it, I'm not sure when we will. So I think we have to at least give him through 2015. I don't think we're going to win the B12 next year, but I'm confident that we will see improvement.
