Why delay the inevitable?

[im4cyclones]

So now players parents aren't connected to the program???

What player?

 

[im4cyclones]

So we should just give the guy a lifetime contract then? Nevermind 5 straight losing seasons? And a high water mark of 7-6...needing a narrow bowl win over an abysmal Minnesota team for that?

Dan McCarney showed us we can do better and can expect better. CPR should get more time...but how much more?

That attitude belongs in the MAC or the MVC.

I would say Rhoads is McCarney 2.0 - it isn't like Mac was lighting the world on fire.

He already got stuck with an offensive coordinator he didn't want. Now is probably the time to fire him. The players will probably laugh at him with his motivational rhetoric going forward.

But he probably will not cooperate and take a reasonable buy out. I bet they ask him if they can negotiate one this week and Rhoads says f off.

Which means Mangino's presence is wasted since he is the ideal guy to have as an interim HC given his past success in the B12. The next guy up likely doesn't want a successful coach running his offense especially if the next coach is a current OC somewhere like Herman or Montgomery. If Mangino is interim HC its a great spot for ISU because ISU can swing and miss on the hottest up and coming coaches for this year and possibly next. Mangino is the back up plan if the ideal candidates say no and means that you don't have to settle for a mediocre 4th choice as head coach after you can Rhoads you just stick with Mangino if someone says no or asks for too much money.

You can believe whatever your little heart desires buddy. I know some things have happened internally and I know he lost a lot of respect. Could care less whether you choose to believe that or not.

It was a carbon copy of the Tulsa bowl game. Lots of emotional energy that wears off quickly, instead of emotional toughness.

Yep, and not just the Tulsa game. I admit, for far too long I confused the rah, rah emotion for toughness. We at times play with emotion, but toughness? We have become increasingly weaker the further removed we are from Chizik and DMac IMO.

CPR isn't going anywhere. We're Iowa State. Who are we going to get that's any better?

"We are Iowa State" is ********, particularly when you lose to NDSU. If NDSU and UNI can do better, ISU can do much better.

Ha! That's good. Thanks for that. I needed a good laugh today.

If Rhoads is such a classy, stand up guy then he should do the honorable thing and quit, allow Mangino control of the rest of the year as a trial basis and let Pollard make the call after this season.

To keep taking money for such a crappy product when you are obviously out of your league is akin to embezzlement.

 

[cylove]

Ha! That's good. Thanks for that. I needed a good laugh today.

This moron in his defense of dean made the same comments. Of course when asked to provide proof, he had nothing.

But he doesn't really care about Iowa State. Just ask him. He writes volumes of nonsense bragging up a team that needed the refs to beat a team that is worse than NDSU, and slamming Iowa State, on here....BUT he doesn't really care about Iowa State.

I always thought it was impossible to be as insecure as this loser is, I mean he makes my friend's teenaged daughter with standard teenage insecurities look poised and confident.

 

[UraMallas]

What did you see today that makes you think Mangino would be any better? His offense was absolutely dominated by an FCS team after a good start.

At least he has a history of success. Rome wasn't built in a day but I think 6 years was enough.

 

[Section110]

Ha! That's good. Thanks for that. I needed a good laugh today.

Several other people in this thread who are not Hawkeye fans have eluded to it as well. If you prefer to put a blanket over your head and pretend like everything is rainbows, butterflies, and unicorns then that's on you. Not gonna stop you or try to convince you differently.

I see I still have your infatuation . You really put the love in cylove. Your posts just ooz it.

 

[awd4cy]

I can't believe there are people still defending this program and Rhoads. Embarrassing really.

Several other people really is one other person. Exaggeration weakens your case, not strengthens it. And that other guy might have a source. You, however, I am quite sure don't.

In the far unlikely chance that you do, lay it out there for me. But I know you won't. Wonder why...

 

[UraMallas]

There comes a time when the waves of change become a tidal. Impossible to ignore. We have reached it, imo.

eluded?

Coach Rhoads has done a couple good things for Iowa State, but overall has been a ****** coach and personally wanted him to exit a couple years ago. All talk and no results just like a ******* politician. Get rid of him.

No not infatuated. You are just a ****. And a typical representative of that fanbase.

I get that you are scared ******** how bad the middle of your defense was today, and that you needed the refs to bail you out against a team that NDSU is better than. So instead of commiserating with a group of your fellow loser insecure fans, what do you do as you sit in your mother's basement because you obviously have no friends???

You go to a site of a team that you don't care about to try to be an even bigger *****.

How ******* insecure do you have to be to do this? You are the true definition of a loser, worse than 9 on panthernation, worse than dean. You have absolutely ZERO redeeming qualities. Your mother must be so proud to share a trailor with you.

 

[im4cyclones]

I think it is fair to question whether Rhoads is the right guy. But keep it to the facts and results on the field. To throw a bunch of "players don't like him, won't play for him" crap on him isn't warranted. If players don't like him, they don't rally against WVU last year to win the game. If you have details, share them. If not, don't post third and fourth hand innuendo. It's not fair and not needed to judge his job performance.

Im gonna make some popcorn, this could be fun

I would say Rhoads is McCarney 2.0 - it isn't like Mac was lighting the world on fire.

Mac is the very reason we have winning expectations. Their records are virtually the same and Mac took over a program in much worse shape than CPR. Much worse.
