I think Leath knows that Pollard will refuse to fire Rhoads no matter how bad we are, so he's letting everyone know that he's taking this into his own hands.
I'm not a huge Leath fan, but I like this move. Pollard has to hold his coaches his accountable. In a decade leading our AD, he has yet to do so, and his blind support of Rhoads gives little reason to believe he will ever do so.

This is exactly what I think as well. I don't think Pollard will choose Paul over his own job if we are bad again next year, and I'd like to keep Pollard because of his relationship with Hoiberg and all he's done for ISU even if I disagree with some of the things he's done.
But he obviously has no plans to hold Rhoads accountable.
Yup. I like a lot of what Pollard does, but he was never going to fire Gmac, and he isn't going to fire Rhoads. I don't know if he gets too close to these guys, or if he's too stubborn to acknowledge when something isn't working, but he's never given any indication that there's any sort of performance expectation for someone he hires.
I don't think he threw CPR or Jamie under the bus. It sounded like he merely said that we need to do better and he is not sure about CPR's future but hopes he is successful. He also said that we need a turnaround next season. What is a turnaround? He didn't say we had to go 6-6... a turnaround may be minimally 4-7. That statement is open to interpretation! For all we know, he wants us back to a winning record, but he did not say how soon we have to get there either... turnaround... hmmmmmmmm.
Fred's pretty uncontroversial and tight lipped and I imagine only Fred really knows what he thinks of JP. I can't imagine he was too thrilled with the way JP was so tight with Leath and the way they handled the BuBu situation.
Geoffrey retired because of age. Leath does suck. Baylor has a good President who came in 2010. They have won ever since. Fire Leath.
Leath can't recruit! Although enrollment is all-time highs? HUGE influx of new professors? But he's YET to bring in a DL that's worth a crap.

I smell what you're cookin Al. I think its a combo of both...JP is too tight with CPR and he is too stubborn to look at the situation with a realistic/unbiased point of view. Leath is just letting us know that he's looking at it with an unbiased point of view, very refreshing
The reason why the program is an embarrassment is everybody's fault but CPR's isn't it. You apologists are shocking with your delusion
...and have you played major college ball? If not then the person isn't qualified to speak on football related topics
