If there is a deal in place you can bet that coach is calling current players and recruits, even if he does have a bowl game...

NO ONE was EVER arrested for rape charges!..and believe me if there was ever a shred of evidence there were rapes, the Boulder DA would have charged them.

The under charging for meals things was an AD mistake, not a football coaches mistake. The AD is the one who ran the training table and handled it, not Barnett.

Get the facts straight, please.
There exists a real question as to whether Hnida was ever even raped. She refused to report it the police, refused to identify her supposed attacker. When Barnett made his comments about her, he was referring to why she wasn't accepted on the team. If you watch the whole press conference, he expressed ALOT of regret about what happened to her.

Welcome to the board Mr. Barnett. If you are indeed the coach at ISU next season, I will give you 100% of my support and I promise not to crack any stripper jokes.

Do you think a few ISU fans will be watching the BYU/Arizona game tomorrow night?

I'm hoping that we should be watching the Boise St./TCU game on Tuesday.

-Having no sympathy for a member of your team that was raped
-Under-charging athletes for meal plans is cool too.

I'm sure there's many more. Sounds like a great family man. Can't wait!

Making it sound like Hawk West. No, strike that. He may have had the worst priogram of the two.

good lord....if Stoops is the hire...how could Jaime face the media and introduce a guy with an overall losing record after making fun of Auburn for doing the same thing?

Unfortunately, too many murders at the Razz so we can't go there Raggae dancing anymore. It is now Irene's I think after a short stint as the Hickman Steakhouse. I see we just put on our finest white suits, pop our collars and take him to Crush.

ala Kirk Ferentz....

Ooops, he didnt know anything about it - except moving DJK and some other clean-er-up-er in that room to get rid of evidence (used condoms and bloody sheets and matresses).

I know KF i know, you didnt know anything about it - just like you didnt know anything about your son living in low income housing intended for poor families.........

Iowa seems to have forgiven Ferentz.....thats what an incredible 8 win season will do for you at Iowa....

One other thing, how does Iowa have the 49th ranked strength of schedule - who did they play that was ranked besides PennSt? Iowa State played Okie St, Missouri, Kansas and our strength of schedule was 92nd????

Dont get it???

No to Barnett. Age and controversy make him a non-winner. Pat Hill, would be good. The guy can coach but not many ties to the Midwest. Mike Stoops, not the same caliber of coach as his brother, but there are worse. Todd Graham, has jumped a lot recently and didn't come across as too honest in his dealings with Rice. Charlie Strong, probably one of the few coordinators I might be willing to take. But once again we get back to bringing up a guy from the SEC who could jump ship if a job was offered back there. Skip Holtz, flashy name but would he want to be located here in the Midwest. Glen Mason, has ISU ties and is a proven head coach but it seems that he peaked at Minnesota. Compared to Brewster though, it seems that Mason wasn't as bad as it seemed. Gus Malzahn, an offensive genius who might just move up and take our job. Another coordinator I would take. Don't know about his recruiting ability and hasn't been a head coach. Bill Cubit, a decent head coach but no name recognition. Jay Norvell and Mark Farley, sorry but just not interested in them at this point.

I agree pretty much with exception to Malzahn. I'd love to have him as OC but I'm not sure he's ready for HC. He's only been in the college ranks 2 years (I think) and a high school coach prior to that.
