1989 was an exciting season. Then, the bottom fell out from 1990-4. Yikes! Three huge wins over @ Oklahoma in 1990, Nebraska in 1992 and K-State in 1993 with a bunch of head scratching losses and the nail in the coffin 0-10-1 season in 1994.
well by all accounts Homer should probably have a few things named after him and a statue right next to matts
oh im "younger" i was bornnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn in 1991. september to be exact. i grew up attended a few iowa state games with my grandparents but cant say i was some die hard fan until i really attended iowa state
all you mf's forgot to wish me a happy bday a month ago.
I'm guessing a comparison of conference records would be equally impressive for Campbell
That table is incomplete as it doesn't even include Clyde Williams. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iowa_State_Cyclones_football
The thing about McCarney, as others have said, is that he had a huge hole to dig out of when he got here. If you take his last 7 seasons (starting with the breakout 2000 season) he had a winning percentage of .500.
You never wished me happy birthday a few weeks ago, but your mom sure did. Boy did she.
Walden had "0" support and literally had to answer the phone, lost an extra 10 scholarships when NCAA lowered numbers and watched one of best players kicked out by administration (unfairly). The locker oom was not as bad as you described.
Mac's choice of assistants was his mistake. They green lighted him with the money he needed to hire what he needed. It is fact.
In an alternate world where Walden has support, he wins.
Plus he was working against an NCAA rule that literally didn't allow him to have a full roster because you could only replace the number of guys you lost but capped at 25 so once you were down scholarships there was no way to ever get back to 85. They changed the rule towards the end of his run but it was too late.
'Hey Jim, you're a great guy with a great personality. Here's 7 raspberries and a length of string, now go win big on a Big 8 schedule.'

Long tenure can mess with the numbers IMO. I heard last week that Belichick is like 18 wins away from haveing the most wins as an NFL coach. But, he is only 9 losses away from having the most losses.
Dump. Outdated. Crumbling. “Mix Man” was the chant of the day. 1974 versus BYU. My last game at Clyde.
56 wins? I knew it wasn't exactly Ohio State's or even Okie Stat's history but 56 wins ? That kinda stings a tad. Cool that CMC will hit 100 games (hopefully 101) this season.
Thankyou for the correction. I thought their were a few in the .700 winning percentage or higher, including Williams. Long time ago though.
Two things stand out, above what others have said. 1) Coaching 8 seasons or longer is a rarity at ISU! Only 4 people have done it and one was Jim Walden! 2.Joe Meyers and Homer Hubbard are our two best coaches in terms of winning percentage! That's right! Who?Bert German, A.W. Ristine, Ira Brownlie, Clyde Williams, and Pop Warner are our top 5 highest "winning percentage" coaches.

At least I have heard of Pop Warner and Clyde Williams.
