None of the assistants had left yet, when they decided not to play. And it was told that they were willing to stay and coach through the bowl, regardless if they were moving on. Just like Wazzu and anywhere else.
If Abu Sama was the highest paid player, that’s a major failure by all involved in allocating the money.
It's more his stock was through the roof after the Kansas St. game. Arkansas, Auburn, and Indiana all went hard at him.
And that's why I'm ok not playing in a bowl game. The players would have been auditioning for another team. And it wouldn't have been the players that were starters that are leaving as they would have opted out.
**** Walden, he hates ISU, and bad mouths the Cyclones and crys whenever he opens his mouth.
Nah, we should've played. Players are paid to compete and that should've been the message from the Athletic Department.
That’s sad given we allowed him to suck for entirely too long as a HC. Whatever we paid him was too much.
Nobody would ever do us the favor of hiring him away for ISU. He quit a full year before he got fired.
He only had the one game…how crazy is it everyone wanted him after that.
Well, we had to have someone coach a team that basically was given the death penalty.
Why would we need Walden of all people. One the Assistants would have coached. Heacock would have been interim HC.
Makes about as much sense as Mccarney coaching the game. I think Criner is still alive?
Then why did not they not stay, ifs it was so easy of a decision. Once Campbell took the PSU job, everyone was moving on to their next job, just like most people would.
Heacock stayed and may still be in Ames. I believe Mouser left with Campbell prior to the vote. Probably was not happy he didn't get the job.
Did you ever think that most of the coaches did not want to stay, but wanted to get started on their new job. Most of the teams that lost a head coach, did not take most of his staff with him to the new job, Campbell is taking most of them.
