teachercd Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 7-5 would be a step back, and being "ok" with no blowouts and 5 losses is the most Iowa thing ever. Ha! Very true Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Also...the idea of giving Riley 7 years because "you" gave Bo 7 years is stupid. It really is... I agree. I thought we gave Bo WAY too long. I defended BC for a long time (too long), and I defended Bo for a long time (probably too long). I can't change how I am going to have my opinions on a new coach? To me, I am seeing the exact same crap that I have seen for the past 14 years. It's not good football. Riley is the current coach, so I am going to give him blame. You see, that's where we TOTALLY disagree. When we are executing and doing things the way they're supposed to look, I think it looks like GREAT FOOTBALL. Probably the best football I've seen around here in a long time. I just see inconsistency still, and inconsistency has plagued this team for a long time, but man when it's going right it looks like damn good football. When Bo's teams played good football, it looked really damned good too. Quote Link to comment

When Bo's teams played good football, it looked really damned good too. Totally agree. Although I wasn't particularly a fan of our offensive style so much, when it was going right and being executed well, I always thought it was effective, especially defensively. That was hard to debate. After seven years though, the inconsistencies and the let downs were far too often and too overbearing when they occurred. If Riley, Langsdorf and Banker are seven years in and struggling in the same ways Bo's teams were, I would expect we will see yet another change. Quote Link to comment

You think last in FBS in penalties per play is "great football"? You think last in passing defense is "great football"? You think getting completely dominated on the road for 80% of the game is "great football"? Wow, Quote Link to comment

I know some fans are saying that they don't care what happens this season with wins/losses but we all know that is not true. I gotta think that no bowl game would = a really craptastic season, right?

Yes, because a new coaching staff should be judged and threatened with his job after ONE YEAR! Quote Link to comment

There were a LOT of disgruntled fans after the '04 season. Pedeyshine was tied to BC, so he wasn't going to fire him after 1 year. BC did show "progress" by going 8-4 in '05. Quote Link to comment

Yes and no. Depends who you asked. Some blamed it on talent (partially right) others blamed it on "square peg round hole" (partially right). Quote Link to comment
junior4949 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I realize there were a lot of disgruntled fans, but you'd be hard pressed to find many/any that honestly thought his time was drawing near. I was done with him after the first year. I won't be done with Riley until I see an epic performance like the Texas Tech disaster in 04. Quote Link to comment

And I'm of the opinion that using Callahan as an excuse to let the current staff skate is not the road to success. We have 9 wins built into the schedule, anything less than that is a step back.
