Does CMC have any gas left in the tank?

I have been watching Iowa State football since the late 1970s. I hate to say it, but you are right.
Totally agree. Sustained success will not happen until we can recruit and develop good offensive linemen.
Well there is no special teams coach, so kind of hard to cut him loose.
maybe ISU could elevate the special teams coach to head coach and then go out and find a special teams coach.
Special teams play continues to cost us games but CMC still thinks the committee approach will work. Does any of the top 20 programs not have a ST Coordinator?
No long hard look needed......look at that passive defensive series at the end of the first half......about 10 minutes of video will tell you that we are not any better than the baylor loss and other piss poor prevent win defense. The rush-3 gimic is played out......The passivity of that was infectious.....more devastating than a pink locker room.
I really hate to say it but....You could be right that a Loss to Kansas could be the Slide to Oblivion.....
The rush 3 is maddening. It should be situational only. In today's game and in our bowl game, analysts were ripping on us for rushing 3 so often. There is a reason we ranked near the bottom of NCAA in 3rd down defense last year. Gave up a lot today too. Really hoping Campbell, Heacock and Co weren't simply one trick ponies at this point, but something smells.
He's 40 years old. "Gas in the tank" has nothing to do with it. He's just not that good...never was.

Someone needs to light a fire under the offensive coaching staff. They have gone back to their old habits of taking forever to call the next play. The players on the field lose any sense of rhythm and end up standing around waiting for the next play. It just sucks the energy out of them. For some reason this coaching staff can’t make quick decisions. Think about all of the past games where they burned a timeout because they couldn’t decide on a play call. Does this relate to the slow starts every season? Is the staff set on their game plan from the start, or does it take a game or two before they decide what is best for the team?
Like Chizik resigned? That guy's second season here was so surreal. So incredibly unsustainable in real time. What did he tell the Okie State coach again? "This job sucks" or something like that. wow. Only us.
Not the vibe I got. He seemed pretty measured in his responses, but I wouldn't say "resigned". It felt to me like there were a few questions that really annoyed him, but he held back. More interesting to me was his reference (at least twice) to this season's priorities as keeping players "safe". The covid-thing appears to be foremost in his mind. And he wasn't using it as an excuse for today's play.
This. You get paid close to 3 mil a year. Time to ditch your friends and hire some quality assistants. I’ll never bash Campbell to much but man, special teams and offense was an absolute **** show.
Agree. Call a play and execute it. This staring at the sidelines for 15 seconds EVERY frickin down is ********. Give the QB an option to check off, but just freaking GO.
Why do some of you dip ***** continue to invoke Chizik. Have you not yet figured out ISU was just a pitstop for GC so Auburn could hire him w "head coaching experience".
