So is Gilberts high school varsity boys coach. That doesn’t mean we all should be happy cause at least Otz is better than that.

He automatically gets four years because of what he walked into.
He gets as many as he wants if he’s successful
The real question will be if we’re seeing the same things in years 3 and 4 when he has all his guys
Perhaps we should give him at least two years to overcome the moves made by the Gilbert High HC over the last half a decade.
Isn’t that cancel culture? I don’t stand for that.
I’d think people would rather help improve the content/conversations.
These are good questions...but which player do you want ISU to run 3 point plays for?
And since it seems like CF doesn't want 1/2 the available players playing, dribbling, or shooting, what 5 works the best?
My guess is in 3 or 4 years we will have a pretty talented roster. Likely Top 5 talent wise in the Big 12. I have no doubt TJ can bring in 4 star recruits and maybe a 5 star eventually. What happens with that is to be seen.
He also has called games and has several radio gigs, it’s not like he just runs a little fan website
Being an ******* isn’t improving anything. Acting like petulant children is what this little band is doing tonight.
I actually like Otz's recruiting strategy. The three guys coming in next year will likely be 4 year players that have upside; get those guys and sprinkle in a good grad transfer every year. But he has to prove he's good on the X's and O's part of the job.
It’d be one thing if we were competing and playing good basketball, but falling short in games, but we aren’t for the most part anymore. Context never matters for some though.
Why should he/CF get credentials then? If that’s what you think of CF - then you should also agree that they shouldn’t get access.
This is why some of the absolute meltdown is bizarre. Like TJ obviously needs to grow as a coach and if you watch the rest of the league he needs to upgrade talent. He also is coaching in an absolutely killer conference with tons of super accomplished coaches. I have my concerns but I'd like to give the guy a couple years before I crucify him.
CF is usually good for some dumb straw man arguments, but this one takes the cake.
Somehow the roster had enough talent to go 13-0 in non-con. There’s not a team in the Valley sniffing that. Hell, an MVC all-star team isn’t running the table with ISUs non-con.
And literally zero people suggested that ISU should win the conference. Most would be perfectly happy with just not epically collapsing.
Here's my take on this, as something of an amateur journalism junkie.
I don't have a huge problem with CW's relationship to TJ. He's been quite public and frank about how it affects his objectivity. When it's been bad, he's said it's bad. Fair enough.
That said, this is a fan site built on access to and relationships with people in the athletic department. You'll get acknowledgement that things aren't going well but actual criticism or accountability will be fairly sparse.
But that's sports media in 2022. Even traditional hardcore journalism outlets like the Register have figured out that it's bad for business to antagonize fans. Kirk Ferentz had dozens of his own players accuse him of running a racist program and (to my knowledge) not one journalist in Iowa called for his resignation, even though almost no other coach in college football would have survived a scandal like that.
It's nice to see what you're thinking and feeling reflected by the people in media you trust and respect, but in this day and age that's increasingly unlikely.

We’ve had 20+ plus games in the prior two years in which we lost by double digits. We have spent three of the last 4 years being completely non-competitive. The last 4 games have sucked but I haven’t seen a 20-40 point trouncing either. We saw more than a handful of those in the last 2 years.
