im sure the players know that when they are running off the field. "boooooo! No, not you! YOU! Booooo!"
If you could personally direct your boos to a coach or many coaches fine. but you can't. when you boo our million dollar coaches you are also booing the majority of the team that makes little to no money at all. This isn't A&M.
pros, sure. boo away i guess. I still think it is tactless, but you do you.
He brought one of the worst football teams in the history of college football to a big 12 title game and the best bowl win in school history, by far.
In that same time, big bad texas has gone through 4 coaches and zero big bowl appearances.
the grass isn't alway greener.
I will say to this day that Rhoads' career was ended b/c he had extremely poor assistants who were not great recruiters (Bill Bleil, Ken Pope, and others come to mind).
It remains to be seen but I'm afraid the kiss of death for Campbell here could be his stubborness on offense. Specifically I think that is - attempting to play 'bully ball' style offense of run and ball control. Primary problem there is that we don't have ANY bullies on the o line.
He somewhat has to adapt and let Nate get creative, otherwise why the hell hire him internally. Nate Scheelhaase ran a great offense as a QB at Illinois so i'd be curious what he would do if he had free reign. He obviously doesn't right now.
If we wind up with 3-4 wins Matt has to hit the transfer portal HARD/juco's. It'll be desperation time.
Cincinnati is following CMC’s blueprint and failing. No red zone offense. Place kicker is bad. Based in Ohio. Montgomery at running back.
I stand by what I said. That was his most important game at Iowa State and he made the right decisions: he decided to play to win and not to play to not lose.
