What would CMC do if he coached at Iowa right now with everything Petras has been going through with being booed at every game? If he thinks ISU fans are bad.... yikes.

Probably one of these reasons he is still here. He can be his own man and feel comfortable calling people out. Good for him.
Yeah the defense has been pretty good thus far, so unless for some reason there's a drop-off there, they should be able to keep us in most of the games hopefully.
The whole season outcome is dependent on whether the coaching staff can salvage something this year for an offense (and not have special teams blow it).
I do think there are some good players on offense, so you would think there's some way we could shuffle personnel to get something that works decent. We don't need an all-star offense to make a bowl. We just need an offense that can score a touchdown once or twice a game lol
Campbell acting like someone fire-bombed the kickers car.
Literarlly have fans booing the QB the OC and the players 2 hours east of here at every single home game...Non stop..
Our ST are a complete disaster on the road with nearly 5k ISU fans showing up to that game at KU and Our HC decides to throw the fan base under the bus?
This fan base is truly one of the most patient and supportive fan bases you will find in all of sports.
Go to Nebrasks Matt..Go To Michigan Matt or Go to ND Matt...and see exactly what happens to coaches and players and their families when **** hits the fan and you are losing.
I was of the opinion that ISU cannot afford to lose CMC and I truly appreciate all he's done. But right now Matt Campbell cannot afford to lose ISU.

This for sure. And this is after losing NFL talent and other teams having years to figure out ways to supposedly beat it.
What Heacock has done with the talent he has had is absolutely incredible.
Bill Snyder level coaching.
Literally no one is calling for CMC to blame players.
This right here.
Any move "up" comes with much loftier expectations, exponentially more accountability, and way less patience.
You obviously don't understand Matt Campbell. He would be perfectly fine coaching division 3 football. It was a minority part of our fan base complaing about our field goal kicker. However, where is the fan base that is ******** to the people that were complaining about an 18 or 19 year old freshman field goal kicker. Those are the people that are disappointing. Call those people out .
Good for Campbell.
Iowa State absolutely has the offensive talent and skill and playmakers to score multiple touchdowns against Kansas and Kansas State.
For some reason I picture this in the coaching/players room during this week's offensive preparation:
Calling the timeout there should be addressed by CMC in a presser. Absolutely inexcusable and can never happen again. That might have been the most boneheaded coaching decision of the season so far. It’s just so, so bad.
I agree that hurt us. Was it possible that maybe they did it to avoid a substitution/delay of game penalty?
Still a tough look for that happening out of a timeout though.
I'll try this again.
What specifically can ISU do with the personnel available?
Not something you WANT to see. Not just 'get creative' or 'run WR screens like Ohio State does!'. What specifically? What do you think they can run to compliment something else with the players available?
Do you see the time available to do something else for routes? Are the zoneish looking outside runs making the defense commit? Do you see a lot of speed from the receivers and backs? YAC ability? What are they able to establish? What strength does the Oline possess?
Don't just answer with 'well I guess we'll just give up and get rid of tailgating!!!'. Be specific.
Imo Manning/ISU have had past issues with regards to finding and sticking with what works and not developing an adequate Oline even with decent players but I've yet to see anything realistically suggested on here that ISU can actually do with this group.
Someone said just do what the KC Chiefs do which tells me people aren't looking at things realistically.
What is this based on? One long drive against a bad Iowa team? The Ohio game?
But everything not coached by Heacock, easily neutralized by scouting our first 3-4 games.
Sorry but using Baylor as an example of competent offense just doesn't work. 24pts/game would be good for 90th in the country. 350 yards/game is 90th in the country. The bright spot was 5.5 yards per play which is good for 65th in the country. We're a lot closer to Iowa's offense than we're willing to admit. Like less than a half yard per play different. Transitive property isn't perfect with a "ball control" offense but go look what other teams have done to the defenses that we've faced, excluding Iowa.
