Let's have a serious discussion about CPR

[Cy$]

They did? I seem to remember they ran a lot out of the pistol and zone read. They also used wider spits and all sorts of formations.

Texas tech was up and down with their running game. I would say slightly above average. They had Henderson who I believe made an all-america team. Wouldnt say they sucked at running.

Most would say Rhoads has a much higher than average IQ. He graduated valedictorian at Ankeny HS (highest GPA). He has a Bachelors in Economics along with a Masters degree. Having a speech impediment does not make you stupid.

Agreed... He's also, by very definition, a Rhoads scholar.

And...firing CPR and hiring a new coach you can kiss the 2016 class goodbye along with what will be more than usual attrition. So you can prob not count on even coming close to a winning season until prob 2018.

I don't know if you've noticed but there isn't much of a class to kiss goodbye to.

That's also assuming there is a possibility of a winning season until 2018 with the current staff.

And barring some amazing turn around by the offense this season, it doesn't look like a winning season is in play either.

You folks are throwing in the towel early aren't you? Support the team and let the season play out. There is a lot of football to be played.

Kansas and.....ummm...and....Kansas!

Supporting the team and supporting the coaching staff are completely different. I support the players and their efforts. I don't support that same coaching staffs efforts that landed us at 6 and 20 over the last 2+ seasons.

I'm not giving up on CPR until he starts punting on 3rd down.

Quick kick!

Uh, there was nothing new or unique about that loss to Iowa this weekend. Kirk coached circles around Paul, and all signs are pointing downward. Keep pumping sunshine tho, because that has obviously worked the last two seasons.

Support the program. Support the university. And sometimes that means cleaning up.

Hire Sage.

Some people don't just reset like it's year 1 at the start of every season.

To tweak the old Mark Twain quote:

"Support the university always, support the coaches when they deserve it."

Talking about firing a coach after a 6-22 stretch going back to 2012 is not throwing in the towel early; it's throwing in the towel far too late.

 

[CycloneErik]

At some point, shouldn't there be a jesting discussion about CPR?

Beautiful.

That's the worst of it. Iowa was the third most winnable game on the schedule. And it was a wasted opportunity.

 

[BWRhasnoAC]

Lots of whining going on here. There are 10 games left you wimps. Fan base cries like a bunch of Hawkeye.

Wow, that's about as far back as the site goes huh? Interesting look back and remembering the challenges of what ISU faced back then compared to now. Also there were shreds of optimism that ISU could get some wins late vs KU, KSU, and CU. Got blown out in all 3 games IIRC.
