Probably no coaching change regardless, but with the abysmal home record they have to come out and win homecoming against non-BCS opponent just to save some fans. Seats will get pretty hot dropping this one.
Must win next week?
- Thread starter everyyard
- Start date
If we lost to Toledo, the attendance drops off and the miniscule bowl hopes fall to 0, but I think Rhoads is still better than 50-50 to be here next season even if we finish 1-11.
Despite how bad this team has looked, there are still 4 games on the schedule that could reasonably be winnable right now.

My Opinion is this coaching staff is going no where. I feel we have finally lifted the quality of our assistant coaching staff with last off-seasons hires. IMO we have had 1 bad loss to NDSU. I had hoped to get a win against K-State, but we won on the road against the Hawks instead.
Would I like to see us throw far fewer short passes and play press coverage, sure. But I see us making strides and I feel the talent is getting there.

We've lost to UNI and NDSU at home within the last nine home games, where our overall record at JTS during that time is 1-8.
I don't see a loss to Toledo being the straw that broke the back, if it somehow hasn't been broken already.
Whatever the buyout is, the cost benefit calculation is starting to swing. If we lose to a MAC team at home in year six of a guy's tenure (after second straight FCS loss to begin the season), how can you not be looking at a change (especially with a head coach in waiting)? I'm starting to understand this stuff about how, "it's hard to win at ISU." It's a self perpetuating issue. It's hard to win at ISU because nobody seems to keep track of wins and losses. If we lose next week and the seat isn't extremely warm, then just change that to, "nobody cares if you lose at ISU."
How do you explain the 2012 class and the 2015 one so far. Those look to be far worse than anything Mac or Chizik ever compiled.
This is actually my thought. But I don't think there will be any way we have a new coach starting next season, so I guess it doesn't matter.
Pretty much this. This is definitely not a must win. Season has been over for a while now.
Did you see the long talk he was having with Gundy after the game?
I'm not so sure he wasn't interviewing....
