You know very little about football. Thats obvious from the post above and your previous post. Back up running back and tight end? Lol
Every coach should be held accountable to win at least to the talent on their team. Devoid of talent? Yeah..not really
Rhoads with less talent was expected to win many more games. Each year is different doesn't matter how long the system has been in place.
See Iowa for easy evidence of that. Or Texas or any other school.
Fact: if Rhoads were still here you would expect the same talent to win 6 games. It's comical you even mention expectations when you have none for the coach that's supposed to win more than Rhoads.
So no expectations is high expectations? Got it.
Boy I better go tell Warren and Lazard and Tucker and so many others that they just don't have talent. Don't mind the stats or facts. Too funny.
RB and TE...and the entire defense. You keep forgetting to address the fact that you have no problem with any level of our defense, even though the same players + Dale Pierson ranked near the bottom of the entire FBS last year.
I never said "devoid of talent", I said void of depth (thanks to the incompetence in recruiting and development by the previous staff). There is a difference. Lazard and Warren and Tucker are very talented, but last time I checked we need 22 starters not 3. And injuries happen; we have zero snaps at QB behind Lanning, single digit carries by the entire RB corp, around 25 total starts on the offensive line with all but one from Campos. Yeah, we may have some game experience and depth issues...
Each year is different, and it does matter how long a system has been in place. Flip Rhoads' season records around, with him going 3-9 in year one and 7-6 with a bowl game in year 7. He would absolutely, 100% still be here, because he would be proving that his system could lead to increased success in the program. Fans would be ridiculously happy and optimistic about the future and what CPR could do. But he certainly showed that his way did not work, despite your so called "turn around year one." But from the standards you are holding Campbell too, you probably expected nothing less of CPR in year one after what Chizik accomplished.
You are basing expectations of the football program at ISU on Iowa and Texas, schools that have actually had sustained success?
Fact: I would not expect 6 wins from Rhoads this year because of the talent; the past 3 years show that 6 wins is far above any reasonable expectations. I would expect improvement from a coach in what would have been his 8th year, not continued poor recruiting, poor player development, the inability to make adjustments at half or respond to adjustments of the other team, and poor coaching decisions. Think about this: if we win at K-State last year, a game we had a 99.9% chance of winning with 91 seconds left despite not scoring in the second half, CPR is still here. He didn't need 6 wins, he needed to show improvement in the program.
I have almost no expectations for this year regarding wins; I only expect to see competent head coaching, our players put in the position to succeed, and for Campbell to identify players he can work with that fit in his system and fit what he wants to do. I have high expectation in terms of wins for Campbell long-term. He should beat UNI, SJSU, and Kansas no matter what; hell, CPR lost to UNI and Kansas with his own recruits. Other than that, I want to see player development and actual coaching.
You say that I'm ignoring stats and facts: find me a stat that implies our defense last year was full of all this talent you claim Campbell is inheriting.
