Should Paul Rhoads be fired?

Throwing some gasoline on the post-loss to a MAC team meltdown with this poll. Vote

At this point yes. I'm so mad at how unprepared this team was tonight. Even if Netten made that FG, I was done. This team look so uninspired tonight, and that's coaching. Fire Rhoads, and see what Mangino can do. Reevaluate after Thanksgiving.

who the **** said they want to keep him?

Good. You left it un-anonymous. This will make it easy to sort out the ban list

Click the numbers. It will go to a screen with names.

It just doesn't matter anymore. This team manufactures ways to lose games. If he stays, that nice upgraded stadium is going to be pretty empty. Fans can only take so much, and this program has had more support than it deserves for a long time.

 

[CyArob]

I'm going to be nice to Rhoads and go with the second option.

 

[CycloneErik]

Should have been done last year, but immediately would work.

I think the only reason to keep him around at this point is if we can't afford to get rid of him. Can we afford to get rid of him?

I don't need to look at names, I just want them to justify themselves.

At this point, the cost of a contract buyout is less than the money they will lose when nobody goes to those games.

I did. He's a good coach and a good man who has had some horrible luck and made some decisions he probably wishes he had back. I think he can turn it around with patience from the fan base (a big if) and I seriously doubt that we can find better for football. It's an indictment of sports society and not on Rhoads that everybody has turned on him after just as many were up in arms because he wouldn't say a few short years ago that he was going to retire here because he said that he likely wouldn't control that (which may turn out to be prophetic).

Get rid of that kid chasing him all games. Maybe a lot of our strategies & calls are coming from him

1. Its proven now he isnt a good HC
2. How many more years of patience does the fanbase need to have?
3. He needs to go. The sooner the better.

 

[CycloneErik]

People defending Rhoads have only been able to find one coach (Rich Brooks) who turned his program around after bottoming out for 2 years like we just did.

Has anyone ever done it after 3 years like this? I can't imagine that's ever been done, mostly because it's impossible. That leader loses all their credibility as well as their ability to recruit.

We cannot afford another seven years of bad luck.

No.

 

[redwards]

Yes. Do we really need a search? Mangino made Kansas a winner.

I may not agree with you on this, but hell of a nice way of stating your belief.

It's a MAC team. I think the SEZ and season tickets sold will cloud the minds of the the AD and President though. I voted NOW, but realistically he will be the coach until the last loss on the schedule.
