Coach Rogers Introductory Press Conference

[SolterraCyclone]

About Matt Campbell "I bet you that's the first decision he has made for himself in a long time."

That feels like the truth. Nobody should be hating on CMC for taking the job at Penn State.

This x1000

Jimmy Rogers doesn't like the media. I've watched a bunch of his press stuff from Wazzu. He looked very irritated by it often.

I don't want a coach that loves chatting with the media. I want a coach that cries when he talks about the man who gave him an opportunity. I want a coach who talks about controlling what he can control and letting God take care of the rest. I saw a fighter. I bet the players did, too.

I have high hopes for the future of Iowa State football.

I liked that I didn't feel we were fed lines. He admits players will go, he hates the college football landscape but knows its the cards we're dealt. He is all about relationships before worrying about on field play/instruction. I'm all for it, lets see what he can do!

 

[cyfan964]

I thought I was going to like him based off of what I have read, but I like him even more after that press conference. The way he ended that damn thing.... chefs kiss*.

They guy wants to work. He understand it takes WORK.

He may have been born in Arizona, but that dude is MIDWESTERN. Love it.

FWIW, his attitude will NOT play well if he isn't successful.

Pumping smiles and sunshine doesn't fly if you don't win either!

Just finished watching the press conference I’m totally impressed with coach Rogers TJ was right calling Rogers a Matt Campbell 2.0 cyclone nation it’s time to embrace and back coach Rogers

I mean you've seen him all of 25 minutes....

+eluded" - good word.

Although I think alluded is the word that was intended. Freudian slip with eluded which means to skillfully escape...

 

[madguy30]

Every coach says that, and has to say that. I won't hold that against him when a job like this one came open unexpectedly.

'I plan to be here to win a championship' is taken as 'Ames is the bestest and I'll die here if I have to' by a few.

I plan to retire from my job but that doesn't mean things won't change from all sorts of angles.

He spent the beginning of his intro at WSU talking about loyalty. But honestly, all coaches do that so I don’t blame him.

When answering @ChrisMWilliams question about schemes, he spoke to the defense. Not much was said about offense. What kinda offense should we expect ?

 

[BCClone]

Yes, not a lot of "umms" or filler / coach speak so far. Seems very genuine and reflective. I'm loving it.

He’s obviously a water bottle cap figiter

Pretty tough to answer that until an OC is hired. I'm sure he has a general philosophy.

 

[BCClone]

Lots of questions, he seems to be working through them well. Jumped in where he was answering the question about Stiglmeyer, you could tell connections mean a lot to him.

Wish him the best and be cheering for them in the Fall.

I believe that’s his FIL also

 

[jcisuclones]

I think that’s his staple

I hope he's the kind of guy who whips it at the closest wall whenever he's done with it.

 

[acoustimac]

The point is?

wasn't much "coach speak" love it -- it was raw and emotional

Yeah Im not mad about it. Good for Matt and crew.

 

[legi]

More importantly he is self aware of his resting ***** face, and will not apologize for it that was a funny comment

Pollard is far from perfect and I've had my gripes about decisions being made that I disagree with (student section being moved for one) but my goodness people he hasn't committed capital murder.

Whatever your opinion on him is with how NIL is being handled, I don't think there was any way that Matt was spending his ENTIRE career here. And ESPECIALLY in the current landscape.

Penn State has always had more resources, money, and history than us. And Matt shied away from numerous job opportunities in the past. I'm bummed too...Matt was the coach while I was at Iowa State and my favorite memories from college were thanks to him and the fun football teams he coached.

Again, JP is not perfect. He's done great things and some questionable things for Iowa State but some of you need to be more realistic with Iowa State's place in college football.
