Mike Sherman would be hired to COACH Iowa State, not make decisions NFL GM's do.
He will not be trading players, drafting players, or making salary decisions.
And if you think recruiting is like drafting you are sorely mistaken.
I'm not saying he is Charlie Weiss, but NFL guys bring "street creed" to college programs due to their understanding of the next level. Players want to play for a guy who has coached in the NFL because they know what it will take to get there. Mike Sherman will have an extensive list of contacts and will bring some EXCELLENT assistant coaches with him to Ames.
I like this choiice over Harbaugh.
