I guarantee no one is taking the time to look into each play in each game to understand if Iowa State acted drastically in firing this new coach. They are just going to see a historically below average team that fired a coach that seemed to be doing fine. Other coaches will view it that way too.
a HC interview is going to not last 10 minutes discussing only wins / losses. There are actual details that are going to be discussed. Why the previous guy failed and what the new guy can do in order to live up to our standards that are NOT that difficult to obtain. It's not like we're asking the next guy to guarantee us a 5 week # 1 ranking in the next 2 years.
