And we have them on the schedule next year, the game before slac. Maybe they find a Troy Taylor, wink.

I’m sure they were devastated to lose him.
When a coach publicly blames his players for losses he has to move on.

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.
