Re: Perfectly stated, imho.
Don't disagree with the statement but what does in-state recruiting have to do with any of the issue we see on the field?

Re: Perfectly stated, imho.
It's just a shame we had to go through a trow away season when many of us knew this was going to be a waste. Could have a new leader this year beginning this massive fix up. It's going to take a lot of time to fix Paul's disaster, whoever takes over.

Where do you get this from??? What disaster?? chizik put us in a tougher place then CPR.

Apparently not, since Chiz left some NFL talent here for Rhoads to win with.
The current guy is pretty well bottoming out the program by showing this is the program he can build.

Not really. Whatever Rhoads did, he did with Chizik's guys. Once they were gone...

Frankly, you really have to stink at your job to fail to capitalize on that Oklahoma State win. Nobody bottoms out after that.
That's beyond the realignment sagas, injuries, or anything else. The man had gold right there in his hand, then went 12-31, with most of those wins coming in 2012, and maybe 1 more coming this year. It's one of the greatest coaching failures I've ever seen.

I think the #1 job of a head coach is his ability to get his players to do as they are instructed.
I'm sure Rhoads doesn't teach guys to have false starts, or line up offsides, or to get late hit penalties, etc. But the fact is, stuff like this keeps happening under his leadership. For whatever reason, the players do not improve and do as they are told under his coaching.
He keeps promising year after year how things are going to be different, but they never are.
If the head coach cannot get his players to take what they learn on the practice field and in the classroom to the field on Saturdays, then he is failing. You can blame the players all you want to, but for some reason things are not getting through to them or they are not being taught the correct things to begin with?
How can you explain how a kid like Sam Richardson has not shown any improvement in this program in the 5 years he's been here? And that goes for a lot of the players, not just him. Every year it's the same story, same excuses, and the same results. I don't see how JP can put his finger on anything that's been done to indicate this will ever turn around for the better? Nothing. And at that point, you have to cut the cord and move on IMO.

Pollard is in a bad place. He can't come out and say anything unless it's to fire CPR and the longer he's quiet the louder the mob becomes.
As someone else pointed out, it really is likely up to the big program donors as to what happens next. As wrong as that is, it's the truth these days.
If they want Rhoads to stay, then he'll likely stay. JP can't really go against their wishes and survive himself, can he?
so shadowy figures control our destiny. pollard can't even say "hey - it's what the reimans want"
