I'd be thrilled, shocked, and would tip mycap to him.
Let's say the team comes out and wins 4 games next year. Is that enough for you to still want ISU to retain him?

Dude why do you have to create hypothetical situations in order to try to make an argument that supports your narrative? You do it because reality doesn't suit you.
CPR hasn't been getting results. That's what most fans want. They aren't even asking for much. 5-7 wins would be a breath of fresh air. 7 years into his tenure that isn't asking for much. That's simply being accountable.
That is exactly what I have been saying about all these predictions for a disastrous season and that CPR should be fired.
Disagree. While I agree with you that CPR is safe for next year, as long as he wins 2 or 3 games, JP is all about the bottom line. The athletic department will have to be negatively impacted financially before JP will do something. Plus, if he has another bad year we'll have a full on fan revolt and no way JP could retain him. Also, I think JP will be our AD for another 10 years, no way CPR stays that long.....good or bad.
Dude, you have a coach that certainly has his own issues at Iowa. In fact, you have a couple of them. Fire their ***** and then we can talk.
IMO, you do NOT have ISU's best interests in mind. In fact, you would like for ISU to be terrible and for Iowa to beat them constantly. So the question is WHY you are constantly on Iowa State's board calling for CPR to be fired?
Reality will be what happens this fall. IMO, the Hawkeyes get their rear ends beaten again. Ferentz has lost his team. His starting QB is going to play his senior season at MICHIGAN. Rudock is smart to abandon the sinking ship. And tell me what Reggie Spearman is doing?
Karan Higdon was smart to dump the Hawkeyes and sign with Michigan. Hawkeyes are a joke.

That 5-0 there, that's a big what if. What if unicorns suddenly appear and trample UNI at the start of the game and ISU romps down the field for a TD? Both seem about the same in terms of likelihoods.
I would be thrilled to see Ferentz let go. Which pretty much makes the rest of your post pointless.
Gene Chizik is responsible for much of the success CPR gets credit for.
The reality is that beyond being a good motivator (for players and fans alike) CPR has not demonstrated any qualities required for running a successful program. He hasn't recruited well. He hasn't hired a quality staff. His game management and in game decisions have been questionable at best.
Name a self respecting football program in America that would stand with a coach with CPR's record. Name a football coach in America who has had success after posting the kind of results CPR has had the last several years. I don't care that his job is hard. If he can't be successful he needs to go.
No. It gives them more exposure to what the top notch programs have compared to us though. If someone said Iowa State had the best facilities he's seen and his visits are Buffalo, Troy, and Central Michigan it sounds a bit different than a guy saying that after visiting Alabama, Texas, and Notre Dame.
So spend your time on the Hawkeye Message Boards and drive that point home. Over and over and over and over.
So the question is WHY are you constantly on Iowa State's board calling for CPR to be fired when you admittedly are not a Cyclone fan and would rather have Iowa State be terrible and beaten by Iowa constantly?
Well since we aren't a self respecting football program it kind of works out. But yes to your point I don't see it being turned around after having been so bad.
It appears he has an opinion about ISU football and expressed it. Why does it need to be more than that?
If they got to 8 wins I would consider it as lucky as winning the lottery. If that were the case I would not look a gift horse in the mouth and would be fine with any outcome.
I'd much rather hire a new coach because the previous one was successful than because the previous one got fired. Eight wins, dude, that would be great. You like to remind us of our history so much... you must know how many times we've gotten eight wins in a season. How many is it?
