BTW...lets not do what the morons at K-State did (if you look up moron in the dictionary, you'll see a K-State logo) and leak this thing early, if Patterson is a serious candidate.

Anyways, more on Gary Patterson...

I keep on hearing we couldn't afford him......but i wouldn't sneeze at the hire

**ISUFan22** · 12-16-2008, 08:57 AM

When comparing the resume's of Patterson and Gill - I think the only edge Gill has on Patterson is BCS conference experience.

I can see great cases made for either guy to be our next coach.

I heard somewhere that his wife is from Iowa or that his wife's parents both went to ISU.

**CyGuy33** · 12-16-2008, 08:59 AM

Sorry, terrible spelling.

Patterson from TCU

hire d. w rutlegde,who is presently the chairman of the high school coaches association in texas and was an outstanding high school coach at judson converse and who won many 5a championships in texas. would make an outstanding offensive cooedinator and would know how and where to recruit the best football players out of texas. rutlegde might even gice mack brown at texas fits about recruiting texas kids!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Meh - personally I'm a little burnt on coordinators from the "big time" Big XII schools and I'd like to stay away from them at this point. True, he may not be Cheezedick, but then again he may also have the same desire to jump up the food chain.

Without coming across as opportunistic, this would be a great time for the nation to hear the Jack Trice Story and the impact he has had on ISU. After a giant step with the election, This issue truly shows how bad it still is in some parts of our country. Good Luck Jamie, i have all the confidence that you will handle this search appropriately and show the country the integrity that ISU has.

I agree with the firing of Bobby Douglas and Wayne Morgan in favor of Cael and McD and then this could be used against ISU and Pollard. Please don't jump all over me and say I'm calling someone a racist I am not. I am speaking to the Untruths that were mentioned.

I don't understand what this means. Do people actually think that Auburn thought a black guy was the best for the job but decided against it solely because of race?

Here's an old thread regarding Patterson from the last time around...

http://www.cyclonefanatic.com/forum/...patterson.html (Please Patterson..........)

Do a search on Patterson for more threads. The consensus seemed to be...

- Many really wanted him.
- Didn't think we could get him.
- He would eventually go to K-State.

**cycloneworld** · 12-16-2008, 09:03 AM

I will dance in the streets in we got Patterson.

**ISUFan22** · 12-16-2008, 09:04 AM

Also, remember that Patterson didn't go to K-State the last time either, whent they hired Prince. This would be twice one of their former people "turned them down".

I think we hire the guy solely based on that!

ISUFan22, was Patterson the #1 choice for us last time through?

**isuno1fan** · 12-16-2008, 09:10 AM

Not sold on Patterson. I think he has it easy being in Texas. His recruiting would suffer moving up to Iowa IMO.

He would still be high on my list because there aren't that many good guys out there, but Gill is the man!
