I am interested in what most Cyclone fans have for expectations for the football program. With that said, and just going with a 12 game regular season for 5 years. What record would you consider successful for a 60 game total? I realize the expectation of bowl games, but to keep it simple, what record for 60 games would make YOU happy?
 
How pathetic have we become to happy with 30-30? Im not asking for 10 win seasons but 7 or 8 should be achievable. Specially this year, this is the easiest schedule we have had since the McCarney years. 8 wins should be possible this year with competent coaches
 
Honestly I don't care about the record. Only care about putting a better product on the field in year 6 than in year 1. A team that plays good fundamental football and is competitive week in and week out. Players that come in and improve every year.

Reverse CPR's records (go 2-10 in his first year, then progress to bowl games in the more recent years) and you have an entirely different mindset within the fanbase with the same overall record.
 
At this point 500 would be fine. The hogwash that is being displayed right now is ******* pathetic.
 
It depends. Iowa is a loss every other year where a lot of P5 teams usually get 2-4 easy non conf games a year. we keep scheduling non P5 teams non conf that years later end up being good teams. We could prob schedule Eastern Ky and in 10 years they would be some powerhouse.

Any way. In current big 12 I'd be happy with 6-7 wins overall with an occasional 4-5 win season but a 8+ win year every 3-4 years.

Third. I don't think .500 football is an unreasonable expectation at ISU.

It isn't anymore. JT is as transformed as any stadium ever could be compared to the 70s-90s, it was unrecognizable the first two weeks.

While I don't disagree, and I know this will be unpopular, but look at how bad last year was and we were literally a few plays away from having 5-6 wins. Literally. A first down vs KSU and strange catch/non catch reversed fumble bs ksu and win. Texas went down to last possession..again. There was another game like this. I'm as ****** as anyone and I'm tired of making excuses but the amount of bad luck and end game execution is lottery winning stuff honestly.
 
My expectation is to be Kansas State 2.0. There is no reason if Snyder could turn a turd in Manhattan into a decently successful program that the same can't be done in Ames. No reason whatsoever. Will it be easy? No.
 
The fact that a fanbase of a powet 5 school would be happy a .500 tells a potential coach where the floor is, not the ceiling. That's gotta be a good sell.
 
There's no reason ISU cant be consistently around .500, and then occasionally have a 'special' year where we get up to 8 or 9 wins. Not expecting championships, but even most mediocre teams have had seasons like this.

There's actually quite a few reasons why we can't be KSU 2.0 - partial qualifiers, amazing in-state JUCO system, hall of fame coach, an AD who put every dime into football, etc.
 
First 5 years of a coach? 30-30.

If he's around another 5 years after that, maybe 35-25
 
30-30 is a reasonable expectation at ISU. Would hope for more like 35-25, be thrilled at 40-20, and anything better we hired Snyder 2.0 and he stuck around. 2 OOC wins, plus 4 conference wins gets you to 6. Not unreasonable.

I hate using Iowa as a measuring stick, but that's basically where they've been under Kirk - unlike their fans I'd be perfectly happy with those results
