Not exactly sure.
People complain Campbell inherited a winning team that want fritz. GS has a long winning tradition.

PEople complain about hiring someone of faith, does only atheists have a chance to have a winning program, guessing that there are more Christian HCs than atheist HCs. So what difference does that make? People have a tendency to surround, or hire, people similar to them, so what do you suspect.

We don't know what has happened or will, and even if we did we can't do anything unless we donate 8 figures to the AD, so let's sit back and not get crazy by attacking potential hires.

You may want to read up on a thing called partial qualifiers. People who think mac schools have no talent need to wake up. They can take players ISU cannot.

ISU was more talented this year, seemed obvious while watching that game. We couldn't stay out of our own way.

Good god, nobody is 'complaining about hiring someone of faith'. But good on you for the classic christian persecution act. People are just saying it shouldnt be as big of a factor as it seems Pollard might make it.

I think people who are knocking him for his faith are complete *** hats.

Also, not that it matters, but being a man of faith will probably be big for some recruits.

No one was mocking anybody for their faith. The discussion was whether it was appropriate for that to be a requirement for the job.

Some of you act like this program is a heeping pile of **** without realizing we are 3 4th quarters and a missed field goal from being 7-5 against a schedule that contained 5 teams that were in the top 6 at some point.

Also, can we move the entire religious discussion to the cave and/or just hand out 72 hour bans to everyone discussing it (oh please please, I vote for option B!)

Last coaches we hired were.

DC, DC, DC, HC, HC, OC through Duncan. I can't remember farther than that. This would be one of the rare HC from a D1 we've hired. Walden was on a little vacation when we hired him.

Maybe not that post, but definitely the post that said he's going to run the "Power T" formation where the T looks like a cross from above.

How about we judge the guy on his resume instead of the status of his faith, hmm'kay? If the argument is he didn't build Toledo himself, fine. If the argument is "He's too Christian", well, that's about as big of a fail of judging the capability of a coach as an athletic director making "strong faith and family values" a solid requirement of employment.

I was the christian "t" guy and I thought it was really clever! And to be VERY clear I am an atheist and could care less about a coaches faith or lack of faith. I'm actually THRILLED if a coach has a faith-based approach to developing these boys into men as a HUGE part of a college coach's job is developing the players into fine MEN as they go through life.

This guy is as good or better than any of the other "finalists" we've been hearing about. No, it's not Nick Saban, but we weren't getting Nick Saban or anyone close to Nick Saban.

I don't see how anyone can really think this guy was any worse than Fleck, Fritz, Leipold, Carey or any of the coordinators that have been mentioned. He has just as good of a chance to succeed here as any of those guys.

After watching a Rhoads' coached ISU team for the last time today, I'm just happy we're doing something.... anything.... at this point. It can't hardly get worse. Our guys wouldn't even give much of an effort for Rhoads on his last day. That's when you know it's time for a change.

No, I'm saying odds are we would hire a Christian HC than not, so don't be surprised when we do especially since pollard is strong faith and people tend to hire similar people. Stretching things like you normally do.
