    49ers - Brock Purdy - Still and Always #1

    If you read the article my comments are based on it was widely accepted within NFL scouting he did not have the skills needed for success. I commend him for going and getting advanced coaching to correct his flaws. One of the most interesting ones was stated as having too large of quads -...

    49ers - Brock Purdy - Still and Always #1

    So you are saying other teams coaches can plan and coach their teams up but ours cannot or did not? You are implying that only the defense side can plan and improve and the offense stays stagnant. Brock had 2 NFL TE and and NFL running back with him. He had the resources but not the coaching.

    49ers - Brock Purdy - Still and Always #1

    Brock regressed as a QB during his 4 yrs at ISU. His QBR was highest his freshman year, bottomed out his Junior yr, and moved slightly Sr yr (but still lower than Fr and So years). QB coaching at ISU is most certainly a problem and we continued to see that with Deckers this year. I am really...

    49ers - Brock Purdy - Still and Always #1

    This was a good read and proves what many of us thought during Brock’s time here - the coaching he received was an absolute disservice to him and his primary asset as a QB, his mind. Once he received advanced QB training he’s excelling again. Not sure why Coach Gordon was not shown the door as...

    Don't Expect Many If Any Changes In Offense

    With OC announcement just moved deck chairs. Nothing new to see here. OL coach move will be absolutely critical or will be more of the same.

    Don't Expect Many If Any Changes In Offense

    Very pleasantly surprised tough decisions like this got done. Props to coach for making the tough calls to reverse what has happended the last two years (he didn't 'have to' given the goodwill he as accumulated, but defintely the right call for long term potential). I really hope this is the...

    Close Calls i still believe in this team for next year

    If Ifs and buts, we’re candy and nuts…. We would all have had a merry Xmas. Unfortunately all we have is ifs and buts.

    Don't Expect Many If Any Changes In Offense

    It is not just 'one' down year. If that was the case I think almost everybody would be more understanding (I certainly would be). But it is actually two down years in a row. Cannot state last year was not a down year when we started the year ranked in the Top 10, had numerous NFL guys (Purdy...

    Don't Expect Many If Any Changes In Offense

    Here's the rub - UNI will have OL drafted the last 2yrs. ISU has not had a OL drafted since 2013. Every other Big 12 team has had at least 1 OL drafted during CMC's tenure. It comes down to one of two scenarios ; 1) The players being recruited are not intelligent enough to learn basic/mid...

    Don't Expect Many If Any Changes In Offense

    Here are some quotes from a DM Register article today from CMC regarding the offense: "With Iowa State last in the Big 12 most statistical categories and ranked 110th nationally in scoring, there’s a natural inclination to wonder if something is structurally or philosophically wrong with the...

    LMAO

    If I remember correctly it was called the "The Beautiful Day" stretch. Done every pregame. Johnnie/Tommie games were a sight to behold and something I truly miss. Have been to numerous J/T contests in my life with the good guys winning way more than our share. Just not the same since the STU...

    LMAO

    Yes he was - along with a lot of other 'different' approaches to football. One of the most unusal was not having a 'formal' Strength and Training program/requirement. While not specifically required, it was done and led entirely by the player/leaders of the program. His program in many ways...

    LMAO

    Nice to see another Johnnie here - have been my entire life. FYI - John is still the winningest coach in college football history (at least by number of wins) and will never be touched. Good man and Great coach who I knew personally. While he cared for his players immensely, he also knew the...

    Is your trust in CMC lost to fix this offense in 2023 and beyond?

    We have heard the comment "I'll have a better answer of why" after reviewing constantly the last 2 yrs in press conferences. Yet I have not seen any follow-up answers promised by coach. I guess this is why we continue to see the same **** week after week - he has reviewed the tape and does not...

    Matt Fannon (Iowa state womens soccer coach) accused of body shaming/ verbal abuse

    Just like all the information he had on Prohm and going with that big extension we handed out and had to pay off? That worked out really well.

    Another Manning S^*T sandwich

    Well if there are coaches 'coaching' special teams, they aren't doing a very special job: At the rate of decline, we may hit 130 next yr!!

    Another Manning S^*T sandwich

    Is it possible the OL is incapable of handing the dline and that when they find themselves in the open field (after getting blown by) they automatically go to second level just in case a reception is made (or in the case of a run the RB somehow avoids 2 or 3 guys to break something? Considering...

    Another Manning S^*T sandwich

    Well if no changes are made, then next year is the make or break yr for Matt after the performance of the last two seasons. On the other hand, if we see shake up on the offensive side and a ST coach hire (not just analyst), then he has bought time and trust to try and turn this thing around for...

    Another Manning S^*T sandwich

    One would hope so, but CMC comment this week about the quality of ST over their entire tenure here despite analytical evidence showing ST has regressed each of the last 6 yrs is damning. Hard to give the HC the benefit of the doubt on at least the ST issue.

    Campbell Still in Demand?

    Well I would say we are seeing the second rough year in a row. Last year Top 10 preseason to 7-6 and consensus under performance. This year 3-5 with probable losing record at seasons end. I certainly expect a down yr every so often, but this is 2 yrs in a row and with no NFL back in the RB...
