I agree. F it. Let's get Steve Prohm back along with Wayne Morgan as his assistant. And while we are at it...let's see if Paul Rhoads would come back with Tom Manning as the OC.

We just need to donate more to NIL and stuff like this wouldn't happen.
So say nice things and have nice thoughts.......? You left out the drum circle.
He has said numerous times it’s not about the winning. KF on the other hand has said winning is all that matters.
He's right though.
CMC would rather lose his way than throw caution to the wind and go for the big win.
Guy's as predictable as the dawn.
What was creative in those games? The first play vs. KSU was off tackle or similar like usual.
Have you ever word the words "coach speak?"
We could have a dead player on the roster and MC wouldn't flinch and tell the media that we do.
Why do people on this site think we can only have two things with Iowa State football?
We all can acknowledge that we have a horrible football past and that we don’t want to go back to that.
CMC has elevated our program where we expect bowl appearances and bowl wins.
That doesn’t mean we have to settle for these types of things. Asking for CMC to change doesn't mean we want to go back to the Rhoads or Chizik era, it means we want him to acknowledge his faults and improve upon them.
In an era of college athletics where your football image is everything, Iowa State really can't afford to keep losing these types of games.
Every single loss but 2 this year (OU and Texas), were due to coaching.

I think this is kind of the crux of the issue. All of the CF staff on various podcasts repeatedly said this; Jamie used it as a selling point. You can't really be surprised at or blame people for reacting this way when they have been told this repeatedly.
So when we went for it on 4th and 1 on our first series he wasn't throwing caution to the wind?
Got it.
I appreciate the hyperbole
Is winning the only thing that matters to him outside of Big 12 play?
I went to the 2017 Liberty Bowl and while I had a great time, it was something I'd only do once.
For me personally, Memphis is not far enough south for a bowl game and once again, Iowa State had terrible weather in a Liberty Bowl.
And Memphis is just...............Memphis.
Really?? Now we're dragging in Jim Walden? Is Campbell's team practicing on a grass lot that doubled as a parking lot on gameday? Good grief...

Nope. Not at all.
But I do give him credit for certain things. You ever see his team show up and compete like we did yesterday on the OL and defense?
Maybe against Stanford, but Stanford was REALLY good too…. Memphis isn’t.
KF knows that football will ALWAYS be won in the trenches, and by the team that makes the least mistakes. ISU is the team that almost always makes the most mistakes…. but some games we are good enough to overcome them.
CMC would have won probably 2 games with the team Iowa had this year, and with their schedule. Just being totally honest.
But I like CMC more as a person than KF.
Kirk Ferentz would have brought his son back next year because he's stubborn.
Their OL has been poor since Doyle quit.
They have an elite D coordinator.
It’s a testament to Iowa State and reinforces that those that use obsolete eras and say things like “in 100 years” are being idiots
Paul Rhoads went to three bowls. He won 7 games in Year 1. Rhoads is a bad HC and CMC’s staff is better than Paul’s staff, but it’s not THAT difficult to win here.
Still amazed how much stock some people around here are putting into a single game. This team over achieved for the season. They have a great corp of young talent that learned on the fly this year.
I enjoyed the season. And next season looks promising. None of that changed from yesterday’s game, a game which wasn’t even shown highlights during halftime at cotton bowl
