Cyclones' New Coach Believes They Can Reach Big 12 Title Game. 'We're Not Signing up for 2nd Place'
Rogers said Iowa State was not hired to finish second, citing 55 transfers and no returning starters after the offseason overhaul.
- New Iowa State head coach Jimmy Rogers admitted to reporters in Ames, Iowa, this week that he personally picked The Cyclones to reach the Big 12 championship game in an anonymous On3 poll.
- The Cyclones are picked last in the Big 12 preseason media poll, return no starters, and face significant rebuilding after Matt Campbell departed for Penn State with 24 players.
- Tight end Tyler Fortenberry said the prediction surprises no one on the team, as Rogers' confidence stems from his success at South Dakota State and his 6-6 record at Washington State.
- Rogers emphasized his mandate is not his disposition but building a competitive program, stating, "We're not signing up for second place." He stressed players must believe in the coach's vision.
- Coach Rogers emphasizes ignoring external noise from Twitter and Instagram in team meetings, with Fortenberry noting that buying into media predictions hinders progress and team focus.
