Rogers first meeting with the team

Rogers will be the kind of guy who you tell a joke to and he looks at you with a cold half smile, this guy is not pleasant person you hang out with at a party, he is no nonsense. Unlike any coach ISU has had in my lifetime.

I guarantee he went in there talking championship and the guys were like wtf. And you are going to hear the same thing tomorrow.
Considering we know absolutely nothing about him, I wouldn't jump to conclusions. Were on the outside looking in so unless someone leaks something or were a fly on the wall we'll never know know what he said.

I’m guessing your from the wash st crew. Any thoughts on what we’re getting with Jimmy?
I am not lmao. Iowa State and Oregon fan. I originally tweeted out in October that I “Wouldn’t be surprised if a Matt Entz, Tim Polasek, Jimmy Rogers, Brent Vigen, or some other high level FCS head coach were to replace Matt Campbell at Iowa State. Midwest ties + gritty/tough mentality. I would liken this to what Kansas State did with Klieman, but maybe someone younger. Jason Eck too”

Ive listened to a ton of his interviews the last 24 hours and he went in there saying I am here to win a championship, a national championship, he is not messing around. Whether thats even remotely possible can be debated.
 
A whole lot of checked out in those faces. Respect for at least showing up and listening.

Most are looking directly at Rogers. Making eye contact. Processing an incredible amount of info in 48 hours that few 18-23 year olds know how to handle. They’ve been hearing in one ear “your AD betrayed you/let you down” and in the other “your coach betrayed & abandoned you”, and very little else. Probably getting texts or calls damn near 24/7 from friends, family, etc.

Most of the starters have probably been getting calls from other schools etc so there's that as well

I've listened to a few of his postgame interviews and his style is a heck of a lot better than the BS coach speak we got from Campbell. That will be refreshing. Not a Campbell basher at all but that was one thing that drove me nuts.
