only beating us by three in 2005 likely got gary barnett fired.
Quote from: wetwillie on November 22, 2015, 12:49:54 PMonly beating us by three in 2005 likely got gary barnett fired.Bro, he lost a conference championship game by 67 points and a week later he was found to say bad things about one of his players who was raped.Anywho to answer the question I think Rhoads is the second guy who went into the game with a warm but safe seat to get gassed immediately after, the other was Larry Smith. R.I.P.
Does Paul get a diagonally scrawled letter of encouragement?
Do you have any thoughts on Iowa State's decision to let go of Coach Rhoads?Well, I do. Some of them I keep to myself. But it breaks my heart and it made the victory, and I shared that with our players afterward, that it wasn't the victory that was so monumental in my mind, it was what it meant to the young people in our program, then after hearing of Paul's dismissal that just dampens everything considerably. I'm not attuned to the situation and can't make those kinds of decisions but I know I've always felt that he does it the right way, and I'm quite certain his players were taken back and really pained by it as well. He's a good man.

The "I'm fired." speech...
He angled for a job at KSU at the very end.

Some say Paul is a good defensive coordinator (maybe he is, maybe not) and Bill's respect and affection for Paul is pretty clear. My question: if Tom Hayes retires after this season (Bill won't fire him), are we looking at Paul Rhoads as DC? Frankly, I hope not.
