Muller Calls Out Fans

[saluki762]

When calling out the fans, I hope he talked real slowly. That is the only way ISU fans will understand.

I don't find it overly harsh or douchey.

I'm not saying anything about how Muller will be overall as a coach. But Muller is the reason the Redbirds are as bad as they are right now. He clearly made a decision to burn things down to start over. Under that mindset, things have to get worse to get better.

Calling out the fans for not showing up in large enough numbers when Muller's hitting the reset button is pretty ridiculous to me. He can call me a douchebag if he wants, but I would not want to see my coach calling out fans if our coach had put us in that situation. I don't care who you are or in what sport you're playing -- if you're taking the "burn it down to regrow it" strategy, fans attendance is going to drop until it is back on the upswing.

In that position, you just accept that attendance will be down until Muller gives them a reason to believe. You don't burn down the program AND yell about lack of support. That's like punching someone in the mouth and yelling at them for saying "ouch."

This & this. You hit the nail right on the head.

A win/close game against Dayton, with a nice-sized home crowd, could be just the kick start we need.

What would a blowout loss with a weak home crowd say, then?

I guess we'll never know...

How was the crowd numbers wise?

Great win! Something the Redbirds can build on.

I don't remember the exact number but over 6,700. Many missed a fun game to watch but if the team keeps playing like this then the casual fans will become more interested and that's when we will see more and more making the games.

Good win for ISUr. Might be turning it around a lot faster than I expected (which was once conference play started).

No excuse not to have a packed house. I have a good feeling about this one.

Have to quote myself here. Awesome win and a good sign of progress for Muller.

Freshman at ISU. Great win, things are starting to come together.

Seems like we have the pieces to be competitive now and in the future! Getting MiKyle and Teddy back next year is a crazy prospect.

We just have to remain competitive now- every single game be in a position to win. Let the chips fall where they may.
