I wonder what the response would have been to this question regarding Chizik 15 months ago.
I do a pretty sweet Paul Rhoad's impression, you can to, here's how:Based on the fact that he's "so proud to be (their) coach," I'd be pretty disappointed. Imagine how disenfranchised the players would feel.
Don't you think that since Rhoads has been a winner, that it would make it worse if he left? He's given us hope for the FB program and if he left I would be much more upset than I was when we were Chizik'd.We did? You mean the coach that won 5 game in two seasons.
Let's not pretend this would be the same thing.
We had a football coach who took us to an unprecedented 5 bowl games in 7 years, Pollard fired him after one year with no postseason play.
We had a basketball coach who took us to an NCAA tournament, an NIT tournament, and won 55 games in his first 3 years with 3 winning seasons, and Pollard fired him after one year with no postseason play.
Rhoads knows that ISU is not going to go to bowl games every year forever. What happens if he has a good run and then has a 3 or 4 win season? Unless we give him a McDermott-like contract that prevents him from getting canned, nobody should blame him if he does what's best for himself, given his boss' track record.
If he won the same amount of games as Chizik this year and next year we'd be all about getting rid of him. And if we have a tough year next year with a really tough schedule some people will be chirping already. These coaches can't afford to be too loyal and I don't blame them one bit.
How come you give BVV credit for Macs bowl games but you don't give Pollard credit for Fennelly's and Johnson's success?
Because Monty is a pile of **** who has no legitimate point on this site. He just wants to rag on Pollard with absolutely no logical background to his arguments. When you present facts that oppose his POV, he ignores them.
We cannot compare this to Chizik. I don't think anyone was under the impression he was here for the long haul. If you were, then sorry but you were a little naive. Chiz didn't grow up 15 mins from Ames. He had been at two huge power school and had won a National Championship. Once you do that it is hard to have patience.
I wouldn't hold it against him.
I'm willing to bet a majority of us would leave our jobs for better ones.
