Honestly, I was going to, but felt the joke has been played out, so I held off.
Does the DNA of Ditka count as the actual Ditka? I need a ruling here.
Lou Holtz should be the real answer. If he can win a championship at ND then the guy can win anywhere. The NCAA championship- ND free since the 80's
It probably is but this thread is a joke anyway, so you might as well go with it.
You see, this is why I was never good in reading comprehension.
I'm with you. I hate having record game attendance and nearly annual upsets of ranked teams. Wish we could have kept Chiz so the SEZ could still be a distant dream.
You give CPR credit for record attendance? Kinda think our amazing fan base deserves most of that. If Rhoads had this same 5-yr. run at Purdue or Kansas or Pitt, the stadiums would be half-full.
He deserves some credit though, to say he doesn't is laughable. Stop being butthurt about. DMac not being the coach anymore. Time to move on, bud.
He gets a lot of credit because he has given most fans a lot of hope. People act like Iowa State football was winning 8 games per season before Rhoads got here. Not true at all. Rhoads record is very good for Iowa State. In addition, Rhoads has beaten a lot better quality of teams than any of the previous coaches.
The funny thing is that Rhoads is a victim of his own success at Iowa State. If he had come in and sucked his first few years like every other coach before him, no one would be upset. But he managed to be pretty damn good his first few years and now everyone acts like he is the only coach at Iowa State to have a losing season.
Last year was really bad. But I've seen a lot of bad football seasons at Iowa State. And some of the best seasons have come under Rhoads.
...CPR also has found some way to put butts in the seats to watch, at best, consistently average football.
To buy into the OP--Dan McCarney or Barry Switzer.
...no. He's made ISU football at least interesting, and got the biggest victory in school history. The fan base simply bought in because it was very unfamiliar compared to what the those 3 programs mentioned above have experienced (all have at least had SOME consistency of success in their programs).
Let's see if Mangino doesn't bail before fall camp this year before mentioning such a task.
Not sure who is on JP's short list, but all I can say is that I hope Ron Prince is atop John Currie's short list to replace Coach BS -- that would be an ideal replacement for the Purple Kansas Kitties.
You had a five year plan? Slacker, I'd get us back to back championships the next two years
