Sigh. You're way overanalyzing something I spent 10 seconds typing. It's just hyperbole. Exaggerating the truth to paint a colorful impression. The numbers came from nowhere except my own orifice.
Did I even have a point to weaken? I guess I was trying to say that ISU fans are already very patient and forgiving given their demonstrated support for the product we're offered. Years upon years and decades upon decades with the same kinds of bad luck, close misses, blatant thievery, and so on. Yet we still turn out. Asking fans to "be patient" when some people have been waiting 20, 30, 40 or more years for a decent product just seems superfluous.
Meh...football as a religion makes for a larger talent pool...and those boys tend to want to be able to play where Mama can see them play. In terms of loading up a team with talent, pretty much any school within the state has a drop on most outsiders (carpetbaggers...).
Irrelevant
I'm not saying their culture is the model for turnarounds we should emulate and I think that goes without saying but apparently not???? The point is, going from cellar to penthouse takes time so be patient.
Yes, it does...but when you use a program that has been exposed as using reprehensible methods as even a part of your argument, you undermine your point.
Who made you the ultimate authority on post writing? If anything, I've made my point stronger by saying we aren't a classless program who will resort to those methods thus we might need to be more patient. If I was saying here are the expectations and anything less than this rate of improvement would be unacceptable, THEN, you might have a point. But for meow, no, you don't.
I think the difference with Campbell is he isn't/wasn't a defensive coach that didn't have HC experience. We now have a HC with experience as a HC and experience from the offensive side of the ball. That is what is needed in the B12.
I am more optimistic on MC, than I was with Rhoads. I has chiz happy about the Chiz hire.....

Old? Maybe.
Man? Probable.
Wise? Debatable.
Look - for the most part I agree with you. I just think using Baylor as a reference undermines your position.
Agree that K State is the better example to follow. I acknowledge that people are rightly pizzed about UNI. However, I am encouraged that Campbell presents himself as someone committed to a very systematic and planful approach. Reminds me of Snyder. Control the things you can control. Be prepared. Be calm and into the game. Don't make dumb mistakes. Have poise at critical times. The staff gets a D- for last Saturday night. I am ready to see a few more samples of their work before I form any impression as to whether there is substance behind their words. Sure as hell not giving up on them yet.
Baylor followed the KSU model of scheduling. Schedule 3 easy teams that you can gain confidence from. The players are able to get better and learn from mistakes while still getting victories. We don't play teams that we get that luxury.
I don't ever want to give up the Iowa game. But get UNI off the schedule and put 2 sure win confidence boosters on it.

Didn't Briles cheat and cover things up to turn Baylor around.
He needs a great QB to form a Baylor like turnaround, and to keep recruiting the way he has been. Most importantly keep those players in Ames, and develop them.
Hopefully Park or Noland can be that QB for us.

Yeah, I get ya, and repeating yourself doesn't make your point any more valid. Done arguing with you over something stupid, agree to disagree and move on.
I hoped this thread was going to have more of a "Baylor Turnaround....and put your hands behind your back please"...type of vibe to it.
What was Ferentz's record his first year at Iowa? How about Bill Snyder, what was his record his first year at K-State? Both of those coaches went to school, took their lumps and learned their lessons well. It takes time to turn around a football program. I believe that over time Coach Campbell will build a winning program at Iowa State. Go Cyclones!
