Coach Paw told the media before he even told his players.

Have heard that it wasn't "planned" thing, which makes no sense to me, unless he up and quit that morning. If ISU fired him, then it certainly was planned to some extent. Very, very weird story all around.

Knowing how cheap Pollard is, it was likely a budget-cutting move. Think how much they'll save on training table.

Not to mention they just killed 1/3 of Hickory Park's sales.

on the surface it sure does feel that way.

Maybe DP555 was on to something......Mangenius did not have a good relationship with the Iowa high school coaches. Which is crucial for Iowa and twice as important to Iowa St.

Does anyone know if Sam B Richardson is thinking about transferring?

so the spin from clone fans will be something like...

Great! Now that we got rid of him, we'll really dominate in-state recruiting over Iowa. The tide has turned!

Does he have his degree already?

I was talking to some scouts after the Iowa State game and they both agreed that SBR was a better pro prospect than CJB, better arm and scary smart. He could transfer here and really take the Hawks to the next level. What has CJB ever done to earn the starting job anyway?

As mangenious left town this morning, the water table in lames went down.

You must have been talking to Cub or Boy Scouts.....that makes absolutely zero sense.

I don't believe that. CJB is way better than Richardson at any level

Don't know how many schools are going to want to spend a scholarship on a crappy QB who is also out of eligibility.

I'm guessing you were just really drunk and just happened to me talking to Clone fans not scouts, probably a brown out type of night.

Yeah the contacts I've had within the 4a coaching community have shared some pretty disturbing stories about Mangino. The guy you see in front of the camera doing interviews simply isn't the same guy who closes the locker room door and coaches his players. He's got an incredible temper combined with no filter and it gets him into trouble.

When I heard this all went down this morning I have very little doubt the way it went down was probably pretty ugly. Mangino and Rhoads haven't seen eye to eye since the beginning. Plus Mangino is known the be very hard on his players. I can't even remember his name, but that offensive lineman who quit the team last year only to rejoin it a week later actually quit the team because of the way Mangino was harassing the offensive line. The whole team got lambasted after practice. The offensive line was thrown under the bus in front of everyone, and then Mangino asked them to stay after and he laid into them some more. The player stood up and said "**** this I'm done" and walked out.

It's pretty clear that program is a giant steaming pile of dung right now. Ultimately it all falls on CPR. I have no idea how he is still their head coach right now.

At first I thought this was sarcasm, maybe a condescending remark........possibly a joke, but apparently you are serious. Please tell me that these scouts weren't Steelers scout. Better not be Steeler scouts.
