COACHING SEARCH: Thanksgiving night update

No one thinks that those comments are indicative of the total, overall fanbase attitude, however there are numerous other articles, blogs and websites that also show some fans' dissatisfaction with Fleck. Altogether it might be an indication of some WMU fan uneasiness with Fleck.

If they are winning more games with him than they were before him, then they are morons.

I don't care if a guy grates on my nerves or bangs booster's wives. If he wins consistently at Iowa State I will take him.

People keep bringing up Chizik. That was a pretty unique situation. Most coaches have to have some success before they get a big promotion. Chizik had a handshake deal with Auburn boosters. He was supposed to get some HC experience, any HC experience, and they would push to get him hired a few years later.

Chizik was just the guy to look the other way while Auburn brought in every shady recruit they could find. And he just let Malzahn run the offense and tried not to mess up the defense.

PJ Fleck will likely need to have some success at ISU before he would leave. And anything like that would be good for us.
 
After watching the game today, I think Fleck would be a good get. Hopefully Campbell is not on the list.
 
Are people really saying no to fleck because of his Row the Boat thing?
So... tell me, what's the difference between "All In" and "Row the Boat"

At least he can beat Toledo.

its like the mike leach "swing your sword" i personally love monikers or slogans, i believe it gives the program an idenity.

No difference.

It's all talk. Neither All in nor row the boat makes a difference.
 
We are the Cyclones, so some weather related tagline would be easy to come up with. The tagline is fine, but the overall vision is what is important. I would like to see a program geared towards excitement and acknowledging image as a recruiting tool. I think a lot of people would.

I mean, coming out to Smoke on the Water isn't exciting anyone under 50.

I knew someone was going to say that. lol I'm exhausted from all the analyzing of prospective coaches and their strengths/weaknesses. I'm deciding to just sit back and hope a good coach falls into our lap and turns into the luckiest coach in America, replacing Ferentz's title.
 
If we hire Fleck will he replace all of CPR's hard hats with oars then? Do our player's lockers have room for oars? What if an oar isn't enough and he has each of them have actual boats? These are all things JP must consider.
 
Fleck would be a horrible hire. I can see him being a good OC in a power 5 conference but not a head coach. Possible charecter issues with the guy.

I don't know enough about Fleck. But what character issues does he have?

It would seem like he would get a head coaching gig. He describes himself and more of a motivator and ceo than an xs and os coach.

Which is great if he's surrounds himself with a great staff. But that's not a great quality for a coordinator.

I have seen very few people as charismatic as fleck. He could be a great hire or a horrible one, but it might be worth the risk
