Are you ******* serious? Did you actually get excited by all the hype articles and CF'ers on here talking up the team? If you did then that's on you for being so naive.
At what point...
- Thread starter Rabbuk
- Start date
Wasn't complaining about JP - just put in wrong thread. We don't have the facilities we have without him.
Pollard hiring Campbell, CPR or Chiz isn't a problem at all and for Chiz and Campbell it was a homerun hire at that time. What JP did for football in his time here is unprecedented.
He has 3 things in his tenure that I think actually damage my view of him as an AD.
1) Letting Cael Sanderson walk out the door.
2) Strengthening our ties with UNI in athletics to a point where a freaking FCS team is considered a rival to a Power Five FBS team (that is gross to say but true) This doesn't exist elsewhere... we are the only Power Five team where even our own fanbase considers ourselves and having a rivalry against an FCS team.
3) Sticking with deadbeat coaches in all sports longer than necessary.
Yup, we, as donors to Iowa State and taxpayers in Iowa, have subsidized the UNI athletic program to the point of having an FCS rival. JP did it as a money grab back in his early days when he wanted to ensure some extra gate receipts.
Well, the money lost in 2007, 2013, and now 2016 with the long term effects of losses to UNI have buried us a decade in the hole.

Matt Campbell didn't suddenly forget how to coach.
I'd say he's next up on the block. Could be a year, could be 10 years but it seems to really be down to him. Not saying this in relation to tonight's disaster, just in general.
1-who gives a ****? Nobody and i must emphasize nobody gives as **** about college wrestling.
2-what?
3-what?
Oh please we've all been slobbering over Campbell and his WWE love for months. Jamie hired who we all wanted: someone who'd stop playing smoke on the water.
I never said I wanted Campbell fired. He inherited a terrible roster, which isn't his fault. But I do think JP should be held accountable for failed coaching hires he's directly responsible for. He's already at two. If Campbell doesn't work out, would you trust JP to someone who will win?
I would like him to hire someone who can beat FCS schools. At the end of the day JP has hired 3 football coaches. The first two were failures. If the third doesn't work, then what? Let the guy with a record of failed coaching hires continue to be the decision maker?
We are a power 5 program, we have a rabid fan base, we have the facilities. This dumpster fire football program will get better under Campbell, and we will look at the UNI game as a warm-up, which it should be, instead of a possible win. I'll give him a pass on this, see how they react next week. Lose by 50, we are ******. Play them hard and lose, expected. Pull out a win, absolute ******* miracle on ice.
I'll blame JP, but not for this hire. Waaay too early to be calling campbell a failure or success.
I'll blame him for not firing Paul a year earlier, allowing the program to get that much farther into the hole before we could get someone to start digging out.

I'm guessing the coaches spent about as much time doing videos as you do making silly CF posts. Oh - I see now. They SHOULD spend less time videoing than you do making silly posts!
Are you a bring back CR guy who was lunchpail and no social media and didn't relate to kids or are you a bring back MAC guy who was so sincere and warm and made you want to run through a wall? Because they both ended up sucking.
Drop the Iowa game to every other year. Take the UNI game in the off years.
A loss to UNI means nothing. It's all the other losses that get stacked up with the UNI losses that have meaning because that tells you your football foundation is crap. CMC has to move a lot of crap out of this program to rebuild.
I haven't followed cyclone FB for as long as many here, but I've followed it long enough to not get excited by expectations, hype, stadium and facility upgrades, recruiting classes, highly regarded athletic directors and university presidents, coachspeak, coach demeanor, mesmerizing advertising campaigns and coaching changes.
Winning is the only thing that gives me hope of winning again.

Loses to FCS teams tell me the foundation is crap. I don't need to dig any deeper.
