Paul Rhoads get some respect from Kirk Bohls

**Wilber** · 05-31-2011, 09:48 AM

In today's Austin American Statesman, Kirk Bohls suggests that Ohio State hire either Urban Meyer or Paul Rhoads. Hopefully, he would not be interested.

"Whom should the Buckeyes hire as Tressel's successor? Whom should they avoid? Whom will they hire?Bohls: If they haven't already hired Urban Meyer — how do you not? — they should hire Paul Rhoads and not look back. The 44-year-old Iowa State head coach, who once was a GA under John Cooper at Ohio State, is the best-kept secret in college football. How many coaches win in their first trips to Lincoln and Austin and come within a completion to a wide-open receiver on a gutsy, two-point try of posting back-to-back wins over mighty Nebraska? Short of hiring Meyer or Rhoads, the Buckeyes should hire Washington's Steve Sarkisian."

I would hope that OSU thinks they need to make a bigger splash with the hire than Rhoads would probably be.

It's good to have your coaches wanted, but it also sucks.

While I dont think Rhoads will go, Chizik wasnt exactly a sexy hire to alot of Auburns fanbase either.

They weren't trying to soothe their fanbase after a massive scandal either.

True, but who better to soothe than a man who appears to be an upstanding person and good motivator.

Wait, why am I trying to sell this. Never mind. PR is a *****.

**geburgess** · 05-31-2011, 10:02 AM

I refuse to believe that Rhoads would leave after two years. He's not a big ******* tool like Chizik was, he's an Iowa boy with ties to the university. He loves this place, loves it too much to leave this early.

I think they should look more at Pol Roads than our guy.

Oh you better not!

If people believe CPR would turn the OSU job down because of some loyalty to ISU...you are kidding yourselves or just flat-out crazy! It is a top five job...you don't turn that opportunity down! I like CPR a lot...but he would be foolish to turn down OSU if he was offered.

I am sure there will be those on this board who rip me for stating that...oh well...it is true!

**ISUFB** · 05-31-2011, 10:10 AM

Saul Rhoads is the perfect candidate
crap CPR was a grad assistant at O$U

tOSU is always going to be a top notch job, but how attractive is it going to be after the NCAA gets done with them? Somebody is going to jump, but they might have to wade through 2-3 years of hefty sanctions and how patient is that fan base going to be, even with full knowledge of what the problem is?

No, the soothing of the fanbase after a massive scandal is just on the horizon in regards to Auburn...

You need to read the below statement.

There's no way he leaves a program he's rebuilding already for one that is going to go through what tOSU will. This is worse than Reggie/OJ at USC, and they got 2 years bowl probation and -10 schollies. What coach would want to inherit that if said coach has little to no ties to the university?
