It sucks but this is the cfb world in 2025 with coaching changes. Thanks for the memories Rocco and all the positive impacts you made in the community.

I really wonder how much of a push the new coaching staff made to keep Rocco.
He has an Iowa State degree. All you can ask of him.
Rocco used his NIL money for some pretty good causes
He's a better leader than qb. I didn't want us to have to spend a good chunk of nil on a qb this year on a rebuild year. I wish him the best, but his best asset would've been possibly keeping the offense together next year.
He already is. Rescued us from the gambler. Had so many games that he willed us to victory.

Thanks for everything Rocco! Truly a great kid and leader. Good luck wherever you land. Unless it’s the Hawks 
Easy to do when your family already has enough money than any of us would have in our lifetimes.
I had this thought too. Seems harsh but makes some sense.
From an accuracy and arm talent perspective, he’s not in the top half of the B12. From a leadership, intangible, great person perspective, no one else I’d take over him.
Ok. He still didn’t have to do that.
The story right away when Dekkers was starting that I got was HD was an Ahole but Rocco had some similar leadership skills that Purdy had. His leadership is top notch, his QB skills are weaker. Any pass to the left flat or shallow out was either a pick sick or darn near one.
let his new team foot the bill.
Interestingly enough, it’s widely assumed Roehl will implement a pro-style offense.
I’m not sure he starts at Penn State is Allar is able to come back.
I guess we'll find out next year how well Iowa State would do in the B1G .
