Let's list the unintended benefits of Matt going to PSU

[NorthCyd]

What's great about this thread is there is no guarantee any of this will change. I will be glad to have Matt's pointy elbows gone.

In all seriousness Matt's actual game management left a lot to be desired. Hopefully we can get a major upgrade in that department.

lol you guys reminding me that Pollard will get his new guy to get that I-State logo back on the helmet is just ripping open the stitches and dumping salt on the wound for absolutely no good reason.

Going thru the "will he stay or will he go" after every season. As a fan who wanted him to stay it just got old. The way the talking heads talked down about our program as if he should leave was too much too. That cloud created by the media is gone for a little while.

I loved Matt’s program but his interviews on Cyclone radio I just zoned out completely like at the dentist when the Novocain kicked in.

I haven’t listened to Matt talk for probably 5 years.

Again qualifying that we’re still learning about Rogers. But he doesn’t seem like the kind of coach that speaks in platitudes.

Going from this...



To this!!

Competent special teams. Not giving up on games half way through the third quarter.

In fun, I won't miss "...to be honest..."

If Rogers has success, its going to be the same.

If he's sucessfull this is still going to happen.

I’m guessing of course but 2M in savings on salaries. Maybe over 3 with Heacock and others

Agree here. **** you Kirk Herbstreit.

 

[UNIGuy4Cy]

Nothing - That is the answer, end thread.

 

[RagingCloner]

We hire a coach with MWC experience, which seems appropriate considering that’s where we’re headed when realignment starts again

 

[UNIGuy4Cy]

That will happen with any ISU football coach that is successful, I think some of the big names were actually cooling on "oh he is leaving", it was the smaller talking heads now that know nothing about ISU that threw that crap out.

No more Cyclone script helmets. I hate those.

you'd rather the "I-State"?

did you say the same thing about cmc and the Mac?

Fully aware which is why i wrote that last sentence in there.

 

[RagingCloner]

Nope. Loved the CMC hire when it happened. I was also super burnt out on Rhoads

 

[Cloneon]

I'm left wondering what I would've considered to be the perfect epitaph of CMC's era here at ISU. No matter how I sliced, the repercussions were always the same. Ok, in short of turning us into a Blue-blood, every other option still leaves the cupboard in worse shape. God fore-bid we get another Criner or Duncan. All-in-all, I think we're in for some exciting years ahead of us. I like a 6-6 P5 NIL era first year record. I like a TJ endorsement on meticulousness. I like an enthusiastic coach. I like an AD that continues to find creative ways to stretch our budget. I'll be glued to the set to see his opening strategies (e.g. coach retention, player retention, fan engagement, organization, etc).
