Damn, Prowler, how else are you supposed to judge the ability of a coach? You judge him based on whether the team improves under his direction. You can look at offensive numbers, defensive numbers and recruiting. You can also look at wins.
Under Chizik, the offense declined, the defense declined, recruiting declined. Wins declined.
Every other coach interviewed by Jacobs had a better resume than Chizik.
I fucking RESENT being called knuckledragging because I don't live in la-la land with you. I'm smart enough to look at the situation, make my own evaluation and my own determination.
The glasses you wear are tinted orange and blue for sure. But they also appear to have some kind of hallucinogenic effect on you because you're seeing shit nobody else does.
What I see in Coach Chizik is that he is a Great Coach, has the drive and knows what it takes to be successful, knows how to and has the finiancial backing to surround himself with Great Coaches and Really Good to Great Recruiters, he has his priorities straight, he was very to extremely successful while he was at Auburn and Texas, he has High School relationships all over the South (including Texas), he's a motiviator, he has a "Blue Print", and that "Blue Print" includes Bro. Chette.
Your evaluations are:
Uhhhh, offense declined and defense declined (don't worry that ISU graduated nearly both sides after Coach Chizik's first year and started an unexperienced player at nearly every position last year)
Uhhhh, recruiting declined (Rankings by Rivals....'03/46th, '04/42nd, '05/58th, '06/63rd, '07/60th (split recruiting class), '08/62nd (Coach Chizik's first full class))
Uhhhh, 5-19 (Dan McCarney was ISU's most successful HC. So successful, that he was fired and landed a coaching job as UF's Defensive Line coach)
So, how does that Shit look? I don't care if you like Coach Chizik, but don't sit there and say that I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about....because I do. There's no la-la land here brah. I just call it like I see it and couldn't give two shits if you or your fuck buddy sees it like I do. Question, were you and greasey band mates?
