My two cents on the state of things in Ames. Yesterday I said we stink, and I think most people agreed with that after watching the game. It was tough to take and embarrassing to say the least.
But who is to blame? Who actually stinks???
There is only one guilty party here and it is NOT the players. When I boo next week and do it loudly, it won't be directed at them.
I have a ton of respect for the players. Those guys put in a ton of work all year long and have to care about school at the same time. Sure some of them get scholarships, but for the most part, being a D1 football player is a grind. Especially on a bad team.
Those guys are trying their best, but they are outmatched right now and it shows.
ALL of the blame from me goes to the coaches. They are the ones who stink right now!
Yes, coaches are not on the field, players are, but holy crap they are bad right now.
Wally stinks.
Paul stinks.
And yes, JP stinks too for allowing this to get so bad and for extending CPR in the first place.
Sure, winning at ISU is tough, but at least be smart enough to come up with a way to be competitive. Getting massacred by Tech should not happen.
Having a 5th year QB not improving is just as much about bad coaching as it is a lack of skills.
These coaches get paid well. I would be embarrassed to cash my paycheck this week.
In fact, in the few real estate deals I have screwed up, I told the client to just keep their money. I didn't feel I earned it so I didn't want it.
Right now, the coaches aren't earning their dough. They stink.
Who else is at risk of stinking? Us, the fans. We will all STINK unless we demand better for the school that we love. This is garbage right now. Let JP and Leath know we expect better.
That starts with firing everyone and starting over.
