Bielema Fired

This. In the "Rhoads is interim HC at Arkansas" thread, people are bagging on Rhoads like crazy. Rhoads worked his ass off at ISU and passed on other Power 5 jobs to remain at ISU hence why JP gave him a longer leash than most programs would. Unfortunately it didn't work out but CPR is still a great man and ended a few of ISU's cruxes that CMC is now completing.

All these head coaches and their assistants work crazy long hours. Clearly some are better at actually getting results out of their time. CPR was incredible hard working and dedicated, but he and his staff were just off base on the recruiting trail. Way too many misses and guys that never showed up. Injuries to the lines were way too frequent. Not saying that was his fault, but it was brutal watching 2nd and 3rd string guys out there trying to play.

Development, including keeping guys here, was as big of problem as recruiting.
