Odd? It was ******* stupid. Know your customers. Your customers are not 45 year old guys who wished they learned a trade skill like welding, they are 16-22 year old kids who are slanted towards pop culture. That means flash. And for as much as you old *** farmers conservative types hate it, that means alternative uniforms, hip hop music, pump up videos, bling, and anything else the hottest rapper is doing. Tom Herman didn't get a mother ******* grill cause he's a dope dealer, he got it to get inter-city Houston recruits... And it ******* works
Lots of love for us on there ...
I assume Teis is their president. I do like the phrase "punch-able face," however ... :twitcy:
Sources tell FootballScoop that Mississippi State is coming back to Paul Rhoads for DC (expected in Starkvegas tomorrow). Not signed yet.
I thank Paul for his service to ISU, but I won't miss his stubbornness, old school shtick, hard hats, lunch pail stuff that produced little results.
Refused Twitter, players' lounge, and why in the h#ll did we give Paul and our EX-STRENGTH coach carte blanche leeway to help design and and furnish our multi-million dollar FB weight room facility.
made no sense. We're stuck with how many treadmills? good lord:twitcy:
Alright you schmuck, let me pick this apart for you. There was a method to his madness with everything he did. He had the hard hat and lunch pail "stuff" because he wanted his teams to be a blue collar, hard working, "go to work" team. Did it work? yes and no, but not enough for him to stick around obviously. Every coach has their own philosophy, Coach Rhoads happened to be the hard hat mentality. Look at PJ Fleck and "RTB" for example.
Our EX-STRENGTH coach is one of the best in the business. Yancy made custom built racks for ISU that NO ONE ELSE IN THE COUNTRY HAD. And to utilize his strength plan to the fullest, it makes 100% complete sense to why any head coach would let their strength coach design a weight room. The weight room is the strength coaches office essentially. Do you see the correlation between "weight room" and "strength coach?" The Strength Coach is in there the most out of anyone. Houston is letting Yancy design their new weight room too, so maybe you should go bark at them and ask why a 13-1 team would let their strength coach design a weight room.
And the crazy thing about the treadmills is, you can remove them. They're not fixed into the foundation. The new strength coach is getting rid of the treadmills and a couple other little things, but the treadmills were very effective in firing those fast-twitch muscles.
Far from Paul, but I think it's comical when people come on here and post stuff they have no idea what they're talking about
Paul has his fair share of very loyal supporters. Most of them around Ankeny (being that's where he is from). I was at Cabaret in North Ankeny after the Kansas State game and someone was talking pretty loudly about how Paul Rhoads should be fired immediately. Some dude at the bar started arguing with him saying "You have no idea what you're talking about! Firing Rhoads would be the worst thing that we could do!". Next thing you know the two are asked to take it outside and they do so. Which then resulted in a couple swings and a fat drunk white guy wrestling match. Entertaining stuff.
Anyways, I couldn't believe after that K-State game that there was still someone passionate enough about Paul Rhoads that he was willing to throw down over it, but considering we were in Ankeny I guess it shouldn't have surprised me.
If Pauly would of won 8 games a year and moved to a bigger program the conversation would be this.....why and the h**l is the new weight coach removing the treadmills. Who is this moron?????
Bottom line, there is many ways to skin a cat, everyone has their own belief system on what needs to be done in the weight room, xand o's, practice plan, game prep, etc..... I firmly believe this is primary a people business and the major focal point is recruiting the best people possible for the system in place.....we will see.

Are you talking about our ex strength coach who's new team kicked the **** out of Florida State and many other schools in route to a 13-1 season? Sure I'll take your expert opinion over his results.
Nothing like strapping a 300 LB Olineman to an incline treadmill and saying ok ready.....don't let go....and...go. More ACL and blown knees in a P5 program over a 2 year period than maybe any in history. I don't really know if the treadmills had anything to do with it but man those things just look dangerous.
