I did a Wikipedia search on Graham as I know little about him and at the very bottom of the page it states, "Currently Todd is in talks with Jamie Pollard, the AD from Iowa State University, about becoming their next head coach. While nothing is official, things are said to be progressing with a decision coming within the next couple of days."

Yes, I know it's WP and anyone can write something...

Hell, I don't think some on this site will be happy until we've demoted ourselves all the way down to NAIA...

I think it's called "First Take" now. Have not watched it since I started my career 4.5 years ago (and Thea Andrews got dropped from the show)...

If he is coming he better be bringing his coordinators with him. They are both well respected. With the O-coordinator known for the "wildcat" offense. That would be fun to watch.

They will never go with Farley. For one, you cannot raid another school like that, and 2, we have not had much luck with UNI coaches yet, so I am not sure the support from fans will be there.

Definitely not. When the Rice Band calls you a ********* and names a halftime show about you going to hell? He is not our guy.

What? You didn't like Dan Jacobson? (no I didn't forget the 'a' on the end). Go Valley!

Support? If Iowa State hires Mark Farley I will officially turn in my resignation as an Iowa State fan. To take it a step further I would consider converting to the darkside just out of spite.

For those of you that have seen my posts on here about the Chokeyes you understand just how much I hate EIU. That is how strongly I feel against hiring Farley. I would rather see us hire an unproven high school coach over Farley.

Yeah, according to the Wiki article if he were to take the ISU job that would be his 3rd head coaching position in 3 years.

If he does get the job Gus Malzahn (the OC) wont come with him. Chances are he’ll be Tulsa’s HC. That doesnt mean they still wont run the wide-open offense.
