This is also confirmation that any talk of head coach Paul Rhoadslosing his job or being on the hot seatafter last season’s 3-9 disappointment is lazy. In the past three years, attendance has been an all-time high at Jack Trice Stadium, and that’s all thanks to the motivation that Rhoads provides. The players love him, the fans love him, and most importantly, university officials love him.

As the South end zone gets built, that will add more seats to the Jack and the stadium will get even more full. It’s already a loud, chaotic scene in just about every football game that isn’t suffocating in frozen temperatures. For a school that does not feature a rich football history, you certainly couldn’t tell its incredible fan support.

That’s why Rhoads’ job is safe, and they could go 0-12 this season and he’ll be right here again a season from now. Of course, if they do go winless, then you probably won’t have a season ticket sellout either. Then the key that Rhoads holds would obviously be taken away from him. But going winless in the Big 12is highly doubtfullet alone going winless through the whole season.
