    I didn't write that very well, admittedly.

    Just as idiotic as calling him a good coach right now. Which, again, is my whole point.

    New Scholarship Offer

    They didn't just sign them, they also developed them like crazy. If we don't have that kind of player development we won't be following the same plan, and all we'll be doing is signing a bunch of guys who no one else wants which will equal more games like last night.

    Will Long wrestle at Midlands

    You can't say I'm wrong so you take a shot at me. Standard. The truth hurts, doesn't it?

    Again, I ask...

    I started the thread. I think I know what it's about, chief. I'm not being impatient. I think he should get 4-5 years, maybe more, unless the bottom TOTALLY falls out of this thing. I highly doubt that will happen. I just disagree that we can call him a "good coach" right now.

    Again, I ask...

    Yeah I saw a lot of games last year. I saw us not beat anyone. Our best win was over a team that beat themselves. We shouldn't have been in a bowl game. And in that game we beat a terrible Minnesota team that as it turns out was months away from canning their coach. I don't know that we...

    That's not really the point of this thread but thanks for the freak out.

    Let me make it clear--I do not want him fired. I want nothing of the sort. A lot of our fans seem to think he's proven to be a good coach. I can't say I agree. The jury is still very out.

    Again, I ask...

    This is the kind of stuff I'm getting at. Loving ISU and wanting to be the coach hardly makes one a good coach. I love ISU and want to be the coach but it doesn't make me a better coach than Gene Chizik--someone who does neither. We had better hope CPR has a Ferentz-ian ability to develop...

    That does not automatically make him a good coach. I like CPR a lot. I like his mentality and his attitute. I also like his passion. However, it is almost universally accepted that he is a "good" football coach. I'm not sure. That said, "good" is a relative term.

    Do we really know Paul Rhoads is a good D-1 head football coach?

    Will Long wrestle at Midlands

    So they announce he's been kicked off the team but we may let him back after one whole semester. That's like a whole 3rd of the season! This is remincent of that huge, nasty "suspension" he got nailed with after his first run-in with the police. Wow, we take a really hard line on this...

    Cyclone Wrestling: Media Day Notebook

    I don't know about absolute worst, but it is a more grim scenario, that's for sure. The answer probably lies somewhere in the middle, and that's not a real good thing for ISU wrestling, unfortuantely.

    Cyclone Wrestling: Media Day Notebook

    Unfortunately I think you laid out the absolute best case and most optimistic scenario, crooksie_26. You have to remember KJ's job is to stay positive and like most coaches he blows a lot of smoke. This is not a strong lineup, but we are rebuilding and you will have that sometimes. I see 2-4 AAs...

    "Paul Rhodes is a good football coach"

    Northern Illinois is not "very good." They lost to us. They scraped past North Dakota and also lost to a bad Illinois team yesterday. If you think beating no one of relevance outside of the gift Nebraska game shows he's a "good coach" so be it. I just feel this unversally accepted "good...

    QB, Charlie Rogers of Iowa City West

    It's not difficult to push those kids to ISU over Iowa when Iowa didn't offer them. Well, Barkema did have a greyshirt offer from Iowa, I believe. What the coach said is straight up hyperbole. Not a huge deal. Also, several of the kids in the other post didn't have Iowa offers, either...

    Question: How much do we make off a home game?

    "Paul Rhodes is a good football coach"

    I also hope he does well and I'm not disappointed he is our coach in the least. But I sure as heck hope he doesn't get 10 years just because he's a likable guy.

    "Paul Rhodes is a good football coach"

    I believe I addressed this earlier. We won 2 games in 2008 with Chiz but brought everyone back in 2009 and Rhodes did win 6 in the regular season. We didn't beat anyone to win those 6, then beat an terrible Minnesota team by a whopping point in a bowl. Does this make him a "good coach"? I...
