- Thread starter BigJCy
- Start date
This is a good overview of Iowa State's new GM and his role.
Meet GM Ricky Ciccone, the mastermind behind WSU's roster management, salary cap and more
PULLMAN — Ricky Ciccone hears a gentle knock on his office door and looks up. It’s Jimmy Rogers, Washington State’s head coach, sporting a dark gray sweatshirt. He’s wondering if his general manager is ready to do more of the work that has made him such a valuable asset for the Cougars.

Matches the results at WSU last season -- their defense wasn't bad, pretty good even. Their offense...definitely not good.
Two observations.
1. When he talked about focus on player relationships and development versus scores, it reminded me of when I coached. I still remember the shocked looks on parents faces when I said the focus would be on things we can control - conditioning, skills and execution - versus the score. But it’s 100% true. If the players have those three things the wins will come.
2. He said what I wanted to hear about bringing staff, continuity, building relationships, etc. Some might say it’s coach speak, but again the continuity of who he works with is critical. He was also honest about the impact on what players stay/leave with the change in defensive/offensive philosophy.
Initial reaction? I’m positive.

FWIW, his attitude will NOT play well if he isn't successful.
This could be said about coach's attitudes ranging from PJ Fleck to Jim Harbaugh to Bill Belichick and everything in between. None of them play well without success.
The good thing to that though, he may actually let the OC be in charge of the offense.
If he's not successful who gives a **** what his attitude is like?
I like CMC’s program and I like that he churned out nfl players like never before but listening to a coach interview can only get better.
Just watch fb on Sundays lately. There’s no way previous staff was that good at developing, they evaluated some 5* talents better than lazy blue bloods did.
McDonald, Breece, Higgins etc would’ve still made nfl at big money cfb programs. Purdy might have been exact same player but drafted 1st round. I’m sure they developed those guys well but more of it is in finding them.
Pretty much all attitudes don't play very well if you're a D1 coach that isn't successful. It pisses fans off one way or another
As many players they had to replace, they probably just didn’t have the personnel. It’s shocking he was able to go 6-6 given the circumstances.
Did he say what his favorite uniform colors are?
