His program is embarrassing. He is getting paid millions for and shooting turds.

Great post. I also agree with isfbcurt and his post. Anyone watch JG play? He is balling out there, he didn't quit. Anyone watch Rodney Coe develop this year? He has gotten better every game and is now basically unblockable. It is hard to see progress with the amount of injuries and horrifying offense we have seen. Yes, I don't agree with all the coaching, but what the hell are you going to do when you can't get a first down.
Like you say, Mess is gone, it is obvious. There isn't even any sense in talking about it at this point. This year is gone, it was over after the UNI loss. Time to start looking for positives cause it really doesn't matter if you win 1 game or 2 games. I am as upset as anyone, but the dye is cast for this year, it's over, time to move on.
That is such a ******** question, and you know it.
He's not running a company, he's running a football team. You don't get landscape architects fired up to go out there and make a great hedge maze. You don't need to be able to get your drivers frothing at the mouth to shuttle prom-goers. But being able to fire up a group of players is key to being successful as a football coach. Especially when you're overcoming a talent gap.
If you think the players are tired of CPR's antics, then you weren't watching the defense today. They were pumped, hungry, and angry, after having gotten a **** ton of points hung on them the last 4 weeks. That's CPR. That's CPR getting those kids up to hold TCU to 21 points (14 of which they earned).
CPR didn't lose the team at half time. According to Nealy, he had the locker room with tears in their eyes, motivated to go out and take someone's head off for Bruns. That was CPR. That touchdown on the kickoff, according to Nealy, was because he wanted to make CPR proud.
But you're going to tell me that CPR has lost the team?
And no, the fan base is not turning on CPR. A few dozen jackholes on a message board are screaming like spoiled children who had their favorite toy taken away while they were at Grandma's house have turned against him.
The rest of Cyclone Nation is still pretty firmly behind our coach. At least 54,900+ of us.
LOFL.
His job is to win and so far, he's done far too little of it.
His big upsets shows that there's been talent, but for whatever reason he hasn't been able to do much with it on a consistent basis.
Eventually, the majority of our fans will see CPR for what he is. They can speed up the process by watching the team with an objective eye on any given Saturday.
Maybe he should just be a motivational speaker. Sounds like he might be better suited for that if that's his best quality.
He sure doesn't seem to excel at much else.
The upsets are because there was talent but he wasn't using it correctly? Are you... are you serious?
We beat Nebraska on our second string.... everything... in Lincoln.
Are you honestly going to tell me that the OSU game proved that we had an amazing amount of talent that was just being under-utilized?
Our offense, once it got to OSU, seems to be clicking a whole lot better, under the same coordinator that it didn't click at all under here. But, yeah, that's not because Ohio State has better talent, but rather because the coordinator suddenly got better at utilizing it.
As for calling for an objective eye, I'd turn that back around on you. What did you see from that team today that didn't reinforce what those of us who aren't in full-panic mode have been saying? Our team was still fired up. Our defense played pretty inspired ball most of the game (we only allowed two touchdowns in 3.75 quarters, one of which was handed to them by the a muffed punt, the second was handed to them by our coach not getting fined for calling out the refs 5 weeks back). Our defense has gotten better every game. Our offense his horrible. We knew this, we know this. Next year, with a new coordinator, things SHOULD be different. If they aren't, that's all CPR. But your "objective" eye seems to be a little subjectively tinted.
Our defense has gotten better every game?
Oh, Lord!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We played a bad team today and didn't get blown out. Let's not blow this out of proportion. How did the defense look when they needed a stop, when they had to have it? Did anyone make a play. Were they not fired up enough?
Also, we beat Nebraska because the game was either fixed or they just started setting the ball down on the field when going in for scores.
We're one of the worst teams in college football in the 5th year of CPR's tenure.
We're not a little down in his 5th year, or suffering from repeated bad luck. We're one of the worst teams in the country.
Cycle outrage? Spew ignorance? Hell, I'm just saying the exact things that current and former players and their families have told me directly.
If anything is ignorant, it's taking what a kid says on a microphone about his head coach as being exactly on point with what he truly thinks.
For the sunshine pumpers, you can all cling to the happiness created by beating a terrible Texas team or being lucky as sin to win one in Nebraska, that's fine, but if I want to question a coach because he's won 3 out of his last 17 games, I'm going to and feel free to stay off my *** while I do it.
So much failure from posters (notice I didn't say "fans") in this thread.
Starts by so much "failure" by the coaching staff. Any other university(SEC, BIG) this coaching staff would be in frigging flames.
And this is why we will always suck. We are just little ol ISU. If only Art Briles thought that way...
