CMC ranked one of top college football coaches
- Thread starter CyTwins
- Start date
I honestly don't think Peterson should be that high. Hes a good coach but not elite, and his teams are soft.
If he's feeling any pressure because of stories like this, or fans' expectations, he certainly hides it very well. (I'm guessing his own expectations are as high as anyone else's.)
The pressure internal to and integral of "the process" is orders of magnitude greater than any "pressure" that comes from external sources. When encountering the event horizon of "the process", fan and/or pundit expectations first get stretched to infinity before being pulled to nothing, leaving no trace that they ever existed.
I can't wait to see what CMC does with more talent. Don't get me wrong, we have had a lot of key players make it happen mostly on heart and hard work. Now we are going to see that combined with a new level of talent. Pressure will be on but I expect big things.
BTW, does Ferentz get a $500K bonus because he made this list?

Out of curiosity, where does he rank amongst highest-paid coaches?
Edit: according to https://sports.usatoday.com/ncaa/salaries/football/coach, #37 overall.

Cutcliffe is outstanding. I get why you would not understand, but he’s highly highly respected for the work he did at ole miss and now Duke
He had bigger schools wanting him to leave Duke and he turned them down. It would be tough to win at a place like Duke.
I love the exposure for Coach Campbell! Tons of respect for him getting Iowa State to jump from the 3-4 win seasons to the 8 win seasons. That is not an easy task...but is it easier than going from 8 wins to 10 wins? If Coach Campbell gets us there...he should be in the top 5 on these lists...maybe top 3! Playing Iowa, Texas and Oklahoma every year makes every game on the rest of your schedule crucially important...if double digit wins is the expectation! He has done a helluva job to this point...but he will have to do an even better job (if possible) to move Iowa State to that next level! Great to see him on these lists for sure!

You don't know much about college football, do you?
Nah I know plenty, I also know Cutcliffe is 31–57 in the ACC (4th or 5th worst p5 football conference). That record doesn't scream top 25 coach, I must be missing something.

I hope pollard keeps getting that checkbook out and trying to extend matt as long as he can. Even if we have a down year eventually, i am confident he is going to keep us going in the right dirextion
KF is a very good coach, and is good at winning his way. Just like ISU, it is hard to win at Iowa. It is certainly an easier schedule for them every year, but they do win a lot of close games with shear toughness and determination. Something that I see in the Cyclones more and more every year under CMC.
