Man... Idaho State is just a total black hole of a program. Ragle has resigned to take a position at Arizona State after leading the Bengals to a 1-10 record. Tough to build any kind of program when you have zero continuity at the helm.
Looks like what star power they had is leaving as well as Xavier Guillory hit the portal and already has an offer from Utah.
I agree that Ragle's comments were pretty inappropriate at the end of the season, but I was more commenting on the state of ISU's program in general... looking at their last 4 HC's overall records
John Zamberlin (2007–2010) 6-39 (.133)
Mike Kramer (2011–2016) 18-50 (.265)
Rob Phenicie (2017–2021) 16-35 (.314)
Charlie Ragle (2022) 1-10 (.091)
Over the course of these 4 coaches, obviously 0 conference championships and 0 playoff appearances. That is just absolutely insane to me. I think situations like Troy Taylor at Sac and Jason Eck at Idaho are on the rarer side of taking a team and immediately finding success. At the FCS level it sometimes takes a season or 2 to really start gelling and having a coach that lasts 1 season doesn't help the overall outlook of the program.
I get your point. But in this specific case it’s best to cut your losses. It’s a picturesque campus, but I don’t know what challenges they have recruiting, Maybe it’s a tough sell.
