Any good guess at asst. coaches?

That was forced down by Pelini. The S&C at NU was an asst. at Iowa and the head s&c at iowa had a similar philosophy as Getty on the physical makeup of linemen. Mac, like others on the staff, was very much a numbers-driven type of coach (i.e. body wt., bench press, 300 yd shuttle). Getty wanted to be more performance driven. Ultimately you have to do what the HC wants.

One of the DSM news stations mentioned former ISU assistant Woodley who is currently at Grandview as a possibility. Not sure if that was speculation or had roots.

There are lots of great strength coaches around the country - big schools, small schools, etc. Sheppard brings the S/C philosophy from what he learned under Madden at Texas and North Carolina; Getty learned a lot of his principles from the great Jerry Schmidt when they were at Notre Dame. Schmidt is now at Oklahoma.
Strength and conditioning is even more critical at Iowa State because it is looked at as an "leveler" in the playing field for less-talented teams to compete with the big boys. I'm sure Coach Rhoads looks at the S/C staff as one of his most critical hires.

Who is... i mean was the S&C coach at Auburn. If Shep is in, someone else is out.

P.S. This is not a serious suggestion, so please don't blast me.

You may be kidding but I think we could use that dude, seriously.

Pittsburgh connection.

I could see Woodley being brought in as Director of Football Operations. I could see Chris Ash, Atif Austin, and Tony Alford.

Either way, I would love nothing more than to some day have the Paul Rhoads coaching tree brought up during big BCS games in the future. And I think Paul may be capable of doing just that!

I'm not sure bringing back the Dan McCarney coaching tree is the answer. I like all those guys, but think we need some fresh blood and people from the outside.
