Well I said something similar today but not everyone unless we can find with cause against Rhule. Although today's performance should be. Financially we can't fire Rhule but everyone but ekeler needs walking papers

Little ******** fixes on the defensive and offensive side won’t do it. The entire football program and athletic department needs an overhaul.
If you’re footing the bill, then yeah!

If not, let’s see what kind of players more money buys us next year. Bottom line is we need difference makers. Name ONE player on our team that can truly change the course of the game? I honestly can’t think of any player on our team that is Elite.

Also, are we surprised a career .500 coach is .500 after 3 years here?
Let's fly in Mike Riley to lead us in one last hip hip hooray for this magnificent accomplishment.
We wouldn't be here had he not fired Banker. Not saying he takes us to the promised land but I can guarantee he lasts 6 to 7 years and we go a different direction because Rhule wouldn't have been available.

100%. Rhule isn’t the answer. Dannen screwed himself by making it more expensive to remove him for a couple years.

I think you are correct...however, I am always reminded of Iowa's continued success with mostly average players. Maybe it is coaching.

Doesn't make sense to fire someone after you give them a huge guaranteed raise :unsure:

Iowa had a good year because their traditional rivals Wisconsin and Minnesota were down. Iowa’s return specialist is anything but average and has the ability to take it to the house on every return. That is a huge momentum changer!

Rhule was the best available coach in the coaching carousel at the time.
BS. There were and are many coaches available that would coach circles around this dipshit at a much cheaper rate. We just aren’t a serious program anymore who demands greatness. We are stuck with this for the foreseeable future. I have finally reached hopelessness with this program and think we are done for good.

Cignetti was unknown at the time.
He’d been a HC for over a decade by that point and had won everywhere he’d been. He should have been a known.

Besides that, the original point was that MR was the best available at the time. That would NEVER be the case at any point in time.
