The 70s? Anything from the leather helmet days you feel is tangible to the situation as well?Easy to replace? Bruce left ISU in great shape only to have it destroyed by Duncan, Criner, Walden, D'Mac was ok, Chizik, Rhoads. It's not a slam dunk next coach can keep it going especially when you consider there will be losses from this recruiting class and transfers out. Hopefully CMC stays and it's all Moot.
That’s still a very small sample of coaches and replacement of coaches. Bruce left a roster in good shape, but Iowa St football was far less important, poor administration support, and parity in the sport much less. You recall NU stacking their rosters with how many players then?
Matt is good, but also overvalued here due **** that happened, or didn’t happen, before most were born. I remember some thinking the same way when Johnny was encouraged to retire.
