CPR Press Conference

[Cyclonic1]

Rhoads is going to get a head coaching job somewhere, and it wouldn't surprise me if it was this year.

I love Paul but he is NOT getting a D1 HC job this year. The purple Kansas replay is on the interwebs for good. I love the man's character but he screwed the pooch there big time.

 

[TNT]

Worse was the "are you going to stick around and help the next coach seal the deal on the incoming recruits?"...

He said that?...

 

[NATEizKING]

Risky maneuver to watch this at work

 

[CydeOut]

Paul is awesome. He was all in for Iowa State, and that's who I wanted to be a winner here. We will get a new head coach, and I hope he wins in ways Paul couldn't, but I doubt anyone we hire will be as loyal and passionate about Iowa State, and that part sucks. A lot.

That Peterson article was actually really good tonight.

I don't know if we'll ever get someone like him here. I'll go on record saying he was more passionate in public about ISU than Hoiberg was, and that's saying something.

I see how JP was torn over the years. Wow. In some ways those 91 seconds was probably want he/Leath needed to pull the trigger. Sad day.

I think he'd be perfect for a MAC or Missouri Valley school, if he wanted to.

 

[ShopTalk]

I like that he got the words "firmly entrenched" in there. He redeemed that phrase.

No he didn't. Sarcasm that predicts the future. It's gonna be deja vu all over again.

Nobody wanted CPR to fail. There is no doubt he is a good man and has his priorities straight. However, there are good men with priorities straight everywhere that get fired for poor performance. In a business all about $ and the product on the field, there were really no other options. I am 100% a Rhoads supporter and love how he treated his players and represented this University and community. He is truly second to none in that regard. I hope our next coach has twice or more the success and at least half the "other" qualities Paul possessed.

Did I misunderstand, or did Paul reveal that our athletic department is too cheap to pay for official visitors' families to come along with them?? Siap

 

[simply1]

Tough watch that's for sure

Pretty sure it's NCAA rule that only the athlete can have his trip paid for by the school. Family members are on their own.

 

[CarlHungus]

If I had to guess, I would assume Paul's post-ISU career will be similar to McCarney's. I think he'll get a coordinator job at a power 5 school for a few years, before getting a head coaching gig at a MAC level school. I wish him nothing but the best

 

[ThatllDoCy]

Just got an email back from Paul. Didn't expect one. I will be cheering for this guy wherever he goes.

 

[Wesley]

Yeah, I don't remember very many people being upset at losing Herman. Hindsight is 20/20.

We were a 23 point a game team.

Paul was more a great cheerleader than recruiter or gameday coach.
