Then "JUST" watch the product? Wearing a bit of a high hat there aren't you?
Remember when this site began with trying to get Wayne Morgan fired and GMAC hired? Remember the saying from those same people on this site of "would rather lose with dignity than win the Rucker Park way" when is was apparent GMAC wasn't going to be as successful as Wayne? What happened to all that dignity?
All head coaches before TJ were expected to do more with less against certain schools that were doing NIL before there was NIL. ISU has never been on an equal playing field. And that never stopped you or anyone else on this site from complaining ad nauseum about recruits or results. Especially with Prohm. Now it's put up or shut up? I don't remember anyone before NIL saying to people that if you don't buy a ticket or donate to the ADepartment......you can't say a word. Because that's a s***** way to try and create a fanbase, right?
So.....sorry. If all those other coaches were all expected to do more with less..........so is TJ. And so far he is doing a great job. If he slips and has a bad year or two.....so what. Most everyone who is an ISU fan knows what ISU is up against. And it's been like that for years. The fact the "king makers" finally have their guy sitting in the chair doesn't change a thing. What was that saying on this site when harsh criticism reigned down on Prohm every day of every year........."it comes with the job". And I'm sure TJ will do just fine no matter what happens. However, the "high hats" keep telling people sit down and shut up.......well, good luck ISU.
