Message: [QUOTE="ISUnorth, post: 4811648, member: 11911"] Touchy subject, expressing any displeasure in the coach is tantamount to blaspheme among the majority of the fan base. He'll be the coach until he decides to retire. He'll be 70 in 2027 when this current freshman class are seniors. What happens after that will be interesting. He's been at ISU for 29 years and makes the NCAA 80% of the time. He's the only coach most of the fans have ever known. We never win the conference but get to the Sweet Sixteen once in awhile and that's good enough for the fan base. I gave up on expecting more around 15-20 years ago. He started out like a house afire and I thought he might build on that but it's been more just a sustained good program, not a great program. Will be interesting to see how many of this current highly ranked class (ESPN #13) he retains. He had a really good class four years ago and only Ryan remains. Lot's of transfers out but who hasn't had them. More telling to me is how a number of players did not opt for a 5th year. [/QUOTE]
