Is it really coaching?

- Start date
Looks like our staff needs to attend The Bill Belichek How to Win School in the off season.
In last week's press conference after the Tech game, Coach threw the team under the bus. He told the world that his team was scared of Tech. This week, after the TCU game, Coach said Lanning's pass should have never been thrown. He also said Sam Richardson's performance was "spot on".
The problem is coaching. Period. End of story.

Coaching and adjustments are huge in college football. You telling me Memphis has more talent than Ole Miss? Hell no.
No doubt talent is very important and talent wins a lot but when u don't have talent then you better have great coaching to compensate. When u have great coaching and talent then you play for NCs. At Iowa State you need 2 things...1- A stud coach who can develop players and make great in game adjustments and see them to make and 2- a helluva strength program. We lack both badly. Chris Doyle works magic every single year and takes kids who were 230lbs and turns them into NFL draft picks..every year...every year. These aren't 4-5 star kids either.

I watched presser after TCU game I didn't see CPR say Lanning shouldn't throw that ball?

On the pass from Lanning to Lazard, CPR said, “probably not a ball that should have been thrown.

Was there more context, like something they saw in coverage?
Otherwise, that's really an odd comment, to put it nicely.
Kaz Kazadi down at Baylor has been doing incredible things with the S&C program. Those guys improve immensely.
I have noticed that other teams seem to make the adjustments necessary at halftime and we never seem to make them ourselves. If we did, we would always be getting outplayed during the second half. Sometimes we are within striking distance at halftime and they make adjustments and we can't do anything that was working during the first half of the game.
I think CPR time here is done. I am as unhappy about being 2-4 as anyone. Keep in mind we were tied with UI in the 4th and made a bone-head play. We missed a FG to win at Toledo. The teams that beat us are a combined 25-2, but we have to be able to be a decent team. I still don't think UI is top 15 team, they just won't play anyone good for a long time on their schedule. Not like they have to play a top 10 offense, followed by the number 3 team, then the number 2 team. But we still need to be able to win more than 2-3 games a year. Who is left on our schedule that anyone thinks we will beat, not could beat? Our coaches don't seem to be able to recruit the talent they need or have the talent they have get better. Like I said, I think a coaching change will happen at the end of the season.
