Well you didn't call for his job so what the hell is your point. How would anyone know what you voted--it could have been extension or wait and see.
I asked folks to justify the vote because I did not want lurkers to skew the results. I respect the fans that want Zamberlin to stay and the points of view from everyone. In fact, the debate has opened my eyes on a number of things that I did not realize--because people have been kind enough to explain their decision.

i find it interesting that the 8 individuals who voted to keep John did so without feeling a change of staff would be an important factor..to bad few if any of them have offered an explaination or we might now why they feel this way.

If you would've phrased it a little different, and not been so "demanding" perhaps I would've changed my vote.
3 years isn't enough for any coach at any D1 college to sufficiently put his stamp on it and prove one way or another that it's gonna work.
Next year and the year after would be better to determine how much progress we will make.
Administration and budget hamperings have been too restricted to make a determination on Z after just barely 2.5 years.
Things like 12 hour trips on each way to play Sac St. is an example of how I think the team and coach deserved better.(especially after taken the scheduling hit to play big boys for $$)
The entire team bussed from Poky to SLC then fly to Oakland CA and then get on a bus to go from Oakland to Sacramento on a Friday afternoon at 2pm in some of the worst traffic on the planet.
Then they leave in bus to Hayward CA to stay overnite only to have to wait to fly back midmorning on Sunday to SLC and then on a bus again to Poky.
Now, I am not saying this is the reason for the bad performance or loss, but freakin' come on....!!!!
This team has taken its share of hits for athletics and raised enough money to be able to at least get a direct flight from SLC to Sac.
One other thing, before this community lambasts the team and coaching staff, how about them filling up The Holt for just 1 game so that the team can see what its like to play before a packed and noisy crowd and how much that can help this team. Now if have any interest in ISU or the football team and can't make it or have done what you can, then great. But I know there is at least another 6-7k people out there that should be willing to put it on the line and show up to a game before you write the team and Z off. Administration has a position in this also by doing WHATEVER IT TAKES to get those extra people in the stands. Give it away, discount it, whatever. Nothing from nothing is nothing to the empty seats game after game.
Bottomline, in answering your question Tigersmilk, I voted to keep him and give Z an extension for several reasons, the above are just a few. This is part of my justification.

I truly believe Coach Z is a GREAT PERSON....But what everyone is forgetting are the PLAYERS....People are worried about giving Coach Z a two year extension, with that said, if the program continues in the same direction, is that fair for those players that came into the program in 2007. I was also told at work that Larry Lewis recruited Kelvin Krosch. Does anyone know if there were any other players in the 2007 class that Lewis got? I was also told at work that Kelvin's younger brother is being by-passed by ISU but is being recruited by Weber and Montana...Come on ISU....Let's at least try to get the local kids!
