Another Manning S^*T sandwich

its impossible to win games when you cant run the ball.... the receiver's get zero separation and Dekker's is running for his life.
Paul Rhoads won games with Steele Jantz. Tom Herman knew how to put people in a position to succeed.
If there are several different areas of the offense that suck and nothing is changing, the blame is solely on the offensive coordinator.
Did we watch the same ISU offense during these tenures?
Worse, a guy who gets killed by zone defense. Which ton of teams now employ regularly. If he could stand there and tear apart zone, he'd have a shot, but it's the opposite.
Meyers was elevated to OL Coach a few years back. He is likely nervous.
Yes, I watched a team with Steele Jantz, James White and random receivers go to a bowl.
More likely than firing a former Mount Union teammate.
Good head coaches and coordinators understand this. Manning won't change his offensive approach / scheme because it theoretically works. He sees in reality it isn't working, but instead of changing the scheme, he's changing player configurations (i.e. the offensive line).
Mike Gundy is amazing at adapting. Just look at his offensives over the years and how he's adapted to the players.
Outside of X we have very average WR's. The O-Line isn't very good. Hard to do much. I thought Easton Dean was the next great TE?
Turning into Iowa fans very quickly.
And how long has the OL been in development mode now? 5 yrs? 6? It's every year. Even with experience, they are not good. Pretty amazing to me what Montgomery and Hall did with terrible OL.
Ok the offense and Manning are not good, but you sound stupid as hell.
Let me know how many Big 12 games Rhoads and co. won. Let me know how many times he went .500 or better in conference play. Let me know about the stellar bowl games Rhoads got his teams into. I’m sure he got us to plenty of Fiesta, Alamo and Camping World Bowls against the likes of…checks notes…Clemson, Notre Dame and Oregon. Meanwhile Rhoads was busy losing to Tulsa and Rutgers in bowl games.
Dear God please stop talking.
Iowa and ISU both have horrible OC's that basically can't be fired..... Iowa's because his Dad is the head coach, and ISU's because he's best friends with the head coach.
That's why you don't hire your son or your best friend as assistant coaches.

This is the same BS that people told me about my take on Steve Prohm... I was right.
When we hired Manning back, I said I didn't like the move. There was no value add for bringing him back. People harrassed me then, too... I was right.
Keep talking your moral victories and acting like our defense and a Rookie of the Year caliber running back isn't responsible for those bowls.
The problem is we are all acknowledging that Manning needs to go and the offense needs a serious retool. But you lose it when you bring in Rhoads like he did something amazing while here.
It’s like people forget the way we lost games under him. K State ring a bell?
In the end Campbell has done way better in conference especially than any coach we have had and has been in almost every game.
We shall see how it goes, and maybe you will be right. Why you would tout wanting to be right is weird because you are rooting for us to fail, so that’s weird.
But Matt has earned a couple of years to see what changes can be made. If nothing changes and these seasons become the norm then Pollard will make a change. But be careful what you wish for, signed Nebraska, Miami, etc.

Also fun fact. You aren’t Nostradamus or anything like that. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that almost every coach does get fired aside from absolute legends, and even then they lose their luster like Gary Patterson.
Prohm wasn’t a good coach and only sunshine pumpers denied that, especially after the Purdue game. But again predicting a coach will not get it done and will be fired is like saying, “Hey I predicted the sun would come up today.”
Virtually every coach gets fired.
