While padding roster, ISU's Rhoads expands | DesMoinesRegister.com | The Des Moines Register

Rhoads talks recruiting, Lykins (life skills advisor), and how he hasn't had a face-to-face w/ Chizik yet...but his home in Alabama that his family is selling is across the street from the home Chizik is renting.

So if he is ready to go to Alabama and relax over a beer, am I correct in assuming a DC has been hired? Maybe I missed it.

If Geno is renting the house across the street, maybe Geno may be in the job short term....

He'll probably move up in a couple of years. The man moves fast!

I like the idea of keeping Lykins on. I think this is a great outreach to these young men.

Maybe this time he will only need an avg. of 5 wins per season to move up.

At the pace he has been going, and for the fine job he is doing, in my humble opinion CPR deserves -- and no doubt needs -- to see his family. I'm one fan who won't begrudge him that one iota. Not one iota.

I want him to relax, recharge, he'll do his job better if he does rather than continue racing around bedraggled and spent.

Do you really begrudge him a little down time with his family?
