JP doesn't have the cajones either to tell CMC that Manning has to go. So we're stuck just paying HUGE money to both CMC and Manning because JP doesn't think it can get any better at ISU than this. That is despicable.
Maybe Dekkers has been over-coached. Forced into playing Manning’s game instead of playing to Dekkers strengths.Dekkers has regressed. We are tentative and scared on offense and it starts with him and Coach Manning.
I’m going to switch over to the Iowa game, at least watching them lose will make me feel a little better.
And look at all the teams like Penn State, LSU, Michigan, etc. who didn’t make a bowl that year but we’re solid pretty much every other year around it. People will hate this, but it was a fluke year.Yup, just have to look at Indiana that year. A high-win season during COVID and... well, sucking since then.
That Big 12 title game….strangely prophetic now.I think ISU still beats those teams that season but not nearly as dominant and it would not be remembered as some other worldly team.
And the same things that cost them the Big 12 title game are still alive and well.
And I'll be surprised if they don't get down to the 30.
They're also terrible but they tend to just find a way in these situations.
To be honest Campbell seems off this year. I don’t feel any leadership vibes coming off of him.The offense apparently forgot to read CMC’s leadership book this year. No courage or leadership whatsoever. Step up and play like men.
I don’t think I’ll be making any time to watch any more games. The offense is beyond a joke.
The only problem though is at some point the D will wear out or just have a bad game.Texas isn't running up the score on that defense
Then Matt Campbell needs to be gone. Ya, I said it. I was a Human Resources Office with a bank. The CEO of the bank asked me to make all personnel decisions. If there was a problem with an employee, it was my job to coach, counsel or train the employee to bring their performance up to an acceptable level. If that was unsuccessful then discipline was involved (verbal warning first, then official write up etc.). Employees were held accountable for their actions…or inactions. If I didn’t hold them accountable, guess what, the CEO held ME accountable. Time for CMC to hold people accountable—friends or not. If he doesn’t, we’ll, then “Chairman of the Board Pollard needs to hold HIM accountable.And the sad part is CMC will never address the issue. He has to fire his college buddy and he will never to do it or even talk about it.
The 2020 season looks more and more like a fluke powered by other teams getting COVID
Even if you throw out 2020, show me an ISU coach who finished the conference 4th, 3rd, 3rd, (1st but you are excluding 2020) and 4th in 4 consecutive seasons? Many of you need to sleep on it and cool off a bit. We used to be a program just happy to get 6 wins to be bowl eligible.Our fiesta bowl season was a farce. Strange unusual year with completely unnormal circumstances. We played 4-3 Oregon in it. We played big 12 teams who could barely field a team because of covid.
