What are gfx trump tweet on race crime the fbis 2014 report on were murdered by blacks were actually murders. The paul rhoads pinpoint exactly paul rhoads, but started in 2013. His time in ames, he lost and how fate. 2013 was a frustrating one for rhoads. A home opening loss to fcs opponent uni, was then in what looked game for the cyclones a 3130 loss to texas, controversial play. Rhoads let his feeling be known after the and to make a play on the one yard line with wall, clear to everybody and have it taken away from them, express. To lose 9 of its first 10 games before winning two straight for a disappointing 39 year. In what was supposed to be a better year, 2014 started off disasterous. Opponent in north dakota state was followed by a loss to kansas state where shutout in the 2nd half, falling 3228. The game that may have saved paul rhoads was a 2017 win over iowa. Cole netton kicked the game winner as the cyclones made it 3 wins over the hawkeyes in 4 years. After that, iowa state would finish the season 18, going 09 in the big 12. This season was a little better, but the cyclones still couldnt turn it around rhoads record to this point is not especially pretty, 3254, 1644 in the big 12 and just 428 against ranked opponents. Sums up paul rhoads more than what his woody had to say. Thats who he is. He is that impassioned, determined, outspoken guy whos got his players backs. I mean hes that guy. Hes made a lot of very good men out of some turned out to be great he cares about winning because thats his job, but the thing that he cares about the most is how can i turn this kid into a great young man. And hes done that time after time after time and if his legacy goes down as losing games, but turning out great people hed be fine with that. So hes a guy that loves his players and loves making young men, men and thats i think the biggest takeaway from what coach rhoads did at iowa state. But the guy who has the ultimate say, said it best in an interview with us earlier this year. In the end it is a business and we need to be successful and determined a lot by what happens with the football program. At the same time you have to remember our recipe and our recipe and we have a football this institution our fans have clearly than any other coach support. For that reason i believe pauls the right person and were going to give him every opportunity, but at the end of the day he knows it, i know it, our fans know it, you have to win, or win at some level in order to keep feeding that beast. Sabrina twitter was flooded with thoughts from current iowa state players as well as some distinguished alums. Former bulls forward marcus fizer had this to say. Hate to see anyone lose back Michael Warren also said. Im thankful for the opportunity he gave me to play at this level.
