Why does Wally get a break ?

  • After Iowa State won the Big 12, a Cyclone made a wonderful offer to We Will that now increases our match. Now all gifts up to $400,000 between now and the Final 4 will be matched. Please consider giving at We Will Collective.

Why is everyone on the OC ? We need to sign Wally up for social security.
Wally and his side kick make over $ 500,000. What have they done this year ?
There is a good chance this year defense will give up a record number of points.
Clean out the whole house. Your thoughts ?

Because he has a history of strong past performance. We know he can get the job done if he has remotely adequate personnel.

I love the comparison.

Wally has been a defensive coach for 40 years. He knows what he is doing. The defense lost two NFL-level LBs, so of course they will look worse this year. They are young and learning.

The offense lost one receiver who was injured for a good portion of the year and, outside of Bundrage, looks worse.

For the last time, Wally has put a fairly solid unit on the field for 4 years. He's proved he knows what he's doing time and time again. That's why he gets a break.

The defense is largely the reason we have gone bowling three times in the Rhoads era. We have had very very pedestrian offensive numbers in a high powered conf during the entire Rhoads era. Yet we managed 3 bowl births. Thank Wally. He gets a pass this year. He has earned it.

Has anybody affiliated with the University not been blamed on this season's lack of success yet? If so, we should probably get them a thread going.

You run 10 wind sprints I'll run 3. Do this for 60 minutes and then you'll know how every player on D feels this year.

It's not the Coaching or the players. It's the other side of the ball.

1. More talent on the offense than the defense
2. Wally has proven himself
3. Defense doesn't get any rest
4. **** Mess!

Wally doesn't need a break. We play in an extremely high scoring conference and until the last two games, we have held teams below their scoring average in just about every game for 2 or 3 years.
